Barbell Military Press Exercise Instructions

Military Shoulder Press

Purpose of Exercise: To develop the front and side deltoids, with secondary stress on your triceps.

Execution of Exercise: Take hold of a barbell with a wide overhand grip, starting with the bar either behind your neck or on your collarbone, press the bar overhead until your arms are fully extended. Lower slowly under control and repeat.

Important Points: Always remember to keep your back tight and look up. Do this exercise strict and endeavour not to cheat. To avoid cheating try and press your lower back into the adjustable bench. This exercise can be done with dumbbells, seated or standing. Doing it from a seated position is safer and affords you similar levels of development. If you suffer from shoulder problems you would be advised to stick with the military press instead of the behind the neck press. If this still gives you problems you can adjust the angle of incline to try to combat the pain.
