Push Press

Shoulders · Barbell

How to do it

Same as the overhead press but with a **short knee bend** to start: dip a few centimetres, extend the legs explosively and use that drive to get through the sticking point, finishing the rep with the shoulder. The point is moving more weight than you can strict press, not squatting with a bar overhead. The classic mistake is dipping too deep: it is a drive, not a half squat.
