  • In a comfortable position, hands slightly wider than shoulder width apart on the barbell

 

  • Slowly bring the barbell downward toward your lower neck or elbow below your shoulder

 

  • With a secure grip slowly press the bar above your head.

 

  • Depending on the Grip preferred Open/Close grip keep as much tension as possible through your ranges of motion 

 

  • To keep this tension you may not need to fully extend, only extend for as far as your range of tension

 

  • As you reach the max range of tension gradually come down slowly and repeat
