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.
