How to do it
5 stepsStand with your feet shoulder-width apart and hold a barbell in front of your thighs with an overhand grip. Keep a soft bend in your elbows.
Brace your core and stand tall with your ribs down.
Exhale and lift the bar in front of you with nearly straight arms until it is overhead.
Keep that slight elbow bend the whole way up.
Inhale and lower the bar slowly back to the start. Repeat for the planned reps.
Leaning back or swinging the hips means the bar is too heavy. Lower the load and keep your legs steady.
Dumbbells also work well. A narrower or wider grip shifts which part of the shoulder you feel.
