Seated Barbell Shoulder Press
The Seated Barbell Shoulder Press is an overhead press done from a bench, which removes the balance demands of standing. With your body supported you can pour more effort into the shoulders, and sitting also stops you from using your legs to help move the bar. It's a solid choice for strict pressing strength.
How to do it
- 1
Sit upright on a bench with knees bent and feet planted under your knees.
- 2
Grip the bar overhand just outside shoulder-width and press it up so it's held overhead.
- 3
Lower the bar under control to your upper chest, letting your elbows travel down to your sides.
- 4
Press back up by straightening your arms until the bar is overhead again.
- 5
Keep your back straight and core tight rather than leaning back to move the weight.
