Barbell Shoulder Press

The barbell shoulder press is a fundamental exercise for building shoulder strength and mass. Here’s how to do it:

1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a barbell at shoulder height with an overhand grip, palms facing forward.
2. Press the barbell upward until your arms are fully extended above your head.
3. Pause briefly at the top, keeping your core engaged.
4. Slowly lower the barbell back to shoulder height.
5. Keep your back straight and avoid arching your lower back throughout the movement.
6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
