Standing barbell overhead shoulder press

Execution instructions

Stand up, with a barbell on the top of your chest, with an overhand grip (palm above the bar), hands a little more than shoulder-width apart. Your feet are shoulder-width apart, your knees slightly bent and your back straight. This is the starting position.
Raise the barbell over your head until your arms are almost stretched.
Hold this position for one second and then slowly lower the barbell back to the starting position but without letting the barbell rest on the top of your chest.
