overhead press with the barbell is a
00:08
weighted shoulder exercise
00:10
setting the bar to be at height similar
00:12
to your collarbones grip just outside
00:14
shoulder width apart with your hands and
00:15
the bar
00:16
as you lift the bar off the rack step
00:18
back and rest the bar on your anterior
00:20
deltoids in line with the collarbones
00:23
bring your elbows to the ground as you
00:24
lift the bar directly up towards the
00:26
roof
00:27
activate the core by drawing your belly
00:29
button in towards your spine creating
00:32
intra-abdominal pressure this ensures
00:34
there isn't any overarching happening in
00:36
your lower back area
00:38
have a slight bend in the knees and rest
00:40
the bar back on your anterior deltoids
00:42
at the end of this move this move is
00:45
controlled and slow making big emphasis
00:47
to hold the bar at the top
00:49
to help protect your lower back take the
00:51
split stance by stepping one leg back
00:54
allowing extra support from the ground
00:56
up
00:57
it's really important as this is a
00:58
weighted move if you were just beginning
01:00
start with the bar first and perfect
01:03
your technique before increasing the
01:04
weights
01:05
if you want guidance on reps or
01:07
progression consult your local pti or
01:09
trained professional
