-
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
