Comments and tips

• Do not lock your elbows out.
• Move your head out of the way of the bar by rocking your body slightly forward as the bar ascends and slightly backward as the bar descends.
• Keep your back straight and head facing forward; don’t look up.
• Contract your core to stabilize your torso.
• Keep your elbows a little forward, not directly out to the sides.
• Overhead presses are great for building functional upper-body strength. The seated barbell overhead press variation takes your legs out of the equation, which better isolates your shoulders and reduces your potential to cheat.
• If lifting very heavy, use a bench with a back support and rack. The angle of the back support should be a little less than vertical.
