Instructions & Biomechanical Cues
1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a barbell with a grip slightly wider than shoulder-width, resting it across the back of your shoulders. 2. Engage your core and keep your chest up as you prepare to press the barbell overhead. 3. Press the barbell upward in a controlled manner, extending your arms fully while keeping your elbows slightly in front of the bar. 4. Ensure your wrists are straight and the bar travels in a straight line above your head. 5. Lower the barbell back to the starting position across your shoulders, maintaining control throughout the movement, and repeat for the desired number of repetitions.",
