Barbell Behind the Neck Push Press

How to perform it

Step-by-step instructions

1. 01With adequate shoulder mobility, rest the bar across your upper traps and use a grip that permits a comfortable overhead position.
2. 02Brace your trunk and dip vertically a few inches with your torso upright and your whole feet planted.
3. 03Drive through your legs and continue pressing the bar overhead without re-bending your knees.
4. 04Finish with your elbows extended, your ribs controlled, and the bar balanced over your midfoot.
5. 05Lower the bar carefully to your upper traps or a rack, and stop if the behind-neck position causes pain.
