MILITARY PRESS

 

 


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.  Standing with a barbell is the preferred method though.
Starting position- just like the behind the neck press except with the weight in front of your head.  When using a barbell it can rest on your upper chest.
Movement- lift the weight directly above your head without locking your arms into the straight position.  Then lower the weight back down to your chest slowly.
Note-
Keep your back straight and flexed.
