Description

The seated overhead press is a strength exercise that targets the shoulders and arms. To perform it, you need a barbell and a bench with a back support. Here are the steps:

  1. Sit on the bench and hold the barbell with a grip slightly wider than shoulder-width. The bar should rest on your upper chest.
  2. Brace your core and press the bar up over your head until your arms are fully extended. Keep your head and spine neutral.
  3. Lower the bar back to your chest in a controlled manner. Repeat for the desired number of reps.
