How to Smith Machine Overhead Press
Starting Position
1. Sit on the bench, puff out your chest, and straighten your back.
2. Make sure the barbell is positioned right above your collarbone.
3. Your elbows should be in front of the barbell, not flaring out behind.
Proper Form
1. Lift the barbell above your head. Please lift it above your head, not in front of your body.
2. With your core engaged, slowly lower the barbell to return to the starting position.
Breathing Technique
Exhale when you raise your arms, and inhale when you lower them.
Precautions
1. If you grip the barbell too wide, it can strain your shoulders, so please be careful.
2. If your core relaxes, it can strain your lower back, so please be careful.
3. Your entire upper body must remain tight throughout the movement.
From the Community
not humbling at all. Remember there's quite a few people who aren't at the gym putting in the effort you are. Keep it up, and don't focus on anything other then the gains you making.
