#Overhead Press

One of the hardest movements to perform properly is the strict overhead press / military press. If your goal is to maximize front delt growth on this movement, you want to keep your glutes clenched and your knees straight to avoid turning it into a push press by bringing your lower body into the movement. #fitness #gym

Let me know in the comments if you’d like more tutorials on all of my go to lifts 👍 This is how you perform the barbell overhead press. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, core and glutes braced. Grip the bar just outside shoulder width with an overhand grip. Unrack the bar to your upper chest and pause briefly on the chest. Press the bar straight up in a vertical line, bringing your head through as it passes if your mobility allows. Lock out with your biceps in line with your ears—don’t let the bar drift forward. Lower slowly under control back to the starting position at your upper chest. Keep the movement strict—no leg drive. Using your legs turns it into a push press. This movement primarily hits the shoulders, triceps, and upper chest, building pressing strength and a wider, more aesthetic upper body. #lifting #gym #fitness #overheadpress #muscle

Before you overhead press, earn the right to press. Most shoulder injuries do not happen because the weight is too heavy. They happen because the joint was never prepared. Here is your 5 minute shoulder prep: • Banded pull aparts to wake up the rotator cuff and improve scapular control • Banded abduction to activate the rear delts and support shoulder stability • Overhead flexion to open up shoulder range and improve upward rotation • Around the worlds to train smooth shoulder rotation through multiple angles • Internal and external rotations to strengthen the small stabilizers that protect the joint • Finish with very light presses to groove the pattern and prime the nervous system Research consistently shows that proper warm ups improve force output and reduce injury risk by increasing blood flow, synovial fluid production, and neuromuscular activation. Translation: better performance, healthier shoulders. Your shoulders are complex joints. Treat them with respect before loading them overhead. Warm up first. Then press hard.

The overhead press is one of those few foundational movements If you’ve ever wonder why I post such basic lifts it’s because there’s a lot of information out there on how to get fit, but the truth is if you want to build an exceptional physique, the straightest line path to doing so is mastering the basics And I put my money where my mouth is. So here’s just another example of me continuing to double down on making the basics of nutrition the backbone and superpower of staying in shape shape

Fix your overhead press - This is one of the most common mistakes I see in the weight room. Keeping your arms in a neutral position at about 45 degrees of horizontal abduction allows for normal shoulder and scapular rhythm. If you have pain with this exercise already, try out this quick fix and I bet your shoulders will thank you later #fitness #exercise #gym #athlete #coaching #fitnesstips #workout #strength #strengthtraining #workout #weightlifting #reels #explorepage #dumbbells #shoulderworkout #shoulders

Do you want a bigger strict overhead press? Here are my tips on pressing big weights. 1 - suicide grip 2 - shoulder blades back and down 3 - hold your breath from start to finish (this tip isn’t for everyone. It can make you pass out, so if you feel dizzy, stop immediately. Also, do it in a safety rack with someone standing behind you) 4 - push backwards Something that I didn’t mention here is that I always use a belt for overhead press. It adds a lot of stability and strength 💪 #strictpress #ohp @strengthsystemonline

Barbell Overhead Press (also called the Standing Military Press). It’s one of the best compound lifts for strong, wide shoulders and upper-body power. 🏋️‍♂️ How to Do It 1. Setup • Stand with feet shoulder-width apart inside a rack. • Grip the bar just outside shoulder width and unrack it to collarbone height. • Brace your core and keep chest up. 2. Press • Exhale and push the bar straight up until arms are fully extended overhead. • Move your head slightly back as the bar passes your forehead, then bring it forward under the bar at the top. 3. Lower • Inhale and slowly lower the bar back to the upper chest, elbows slightly forward. ✅ Key Tips • Keep your core tight and glutes engaged to avoid lower-back arch. • Don’t lean back—think “press up and through.” • Use a spotter or safety pins if lifting heavy. 💪 Muscles Worked • Primary: Front and side deltoids (shoulders) • Secondary: Trapezius, triceps, upper chest, and core stabilizers. 📈 Programming • Strength: 4–5 sets × 4–6 reps • Size (Hypertrophy): 3–4 sets × 8–12 reps#gym
