Overhead Press

Strict press, standing. No legs, no lean-back, no lies.

How to do Overhead Press

1. Bar at your collarbones, grip just outside shoulders, glutes squeezed.
2. Press straight up, pulling your head slightly back out of the way.
3. Finish with the bar over your mid-foot, arms locked.

Where reps get stolen

The sneaky lean. Turning your press into an incline bench by bending backward fools nobody's shoulders.
