Make every rep count.
- 01
Load the barbell with a weight you can control smoothly.
- 02
Stand tall with feet about shoulder-width apart. Grab the bar at shoulder width with an overhand (pronated) grip and let it rest against your thighs.
- 03
Take a breath in, brace your core, and keep your chest up and shoulders down.
- 04
With elbows mostly straight (a slight bend is fine), raise the bar straight up in front of you until your arms are fully overhead. Keep the bar close and avoid leaning back or swinging.
- 05
Pause briefly overhead, then lower under control back to the start.
- 06
Repeat for your target reps, maintaining a steady tempo throughout.
