Picture Source: Getting Stronger by Bill Pearl and Gary T. Moran, Ph.D.

 

This exercise can be done either standing or sitting and with either dumbbells or a barbell.  Sitting with a barbell is the preferred method though.
Starting position- start seated with the barbell resting on a rack behind your neck, grip the barbell evenly with hands about shoulder width apart.  
Movement- lift the weight directly above your head without locking your arms into the straight position.  Then lower the weight back down behind your head slowly.
Note-
Keep your back straight and flexed.
