How to do it

  1. 1

    To begin, stand straight with a barbell in your hands. You should grip the bar with palms facing down and a closer than shoulder width grip apart from each other.

  2. 2

    Your feet should be shoulder width apart from each other. Your elbows should be slightly bent. This is the starting position.

  3. 3

    Lift the barbell up until it is directly over your head while exhaling. Make sure to keep your elbows slightly bent when performing each repetition.

  4. 4

    Once you feel the contraction, begin to lower the barbell back down to the starting position as you inhale.

  5. 5

    Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.
