Barbell Overhead Press

Muscles Targeted:

  • Targets the shoulders.

  • Specifically the front and mid delts.

Form:

  • Start with the bar at chest or neck level and press upward over your head.

  • Keep your elbows in front of you and don’t let them flare out.

  • Avoid leaning back to keep the tension in your shoulders and off your chest.

Rep Ranges:

  • This exercise can be performed at a variety of rep ranges, when working high repetitions I typically lean towards dumbbells instead.
