Push Press - Barbell

Description

Start Position: Stand holding a barbell across the front of the shoulders and upper chest with your feet in a jumping stance.

Procedure: Dip down at the hips and knees. Immediately explode upward, pressing the bar overhead by extending your hips and arms. "Catch" the weights overhead with your arms straight and hips and knees extended. Lower the weight back to the starting position. 

Coaching Key: Initiate the movement with your legs; prevent pushing the weight with your arms until your hips are fully extended.

Feel it: Working the entire body.
