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.
