Push Press behind the Neck

Push Press behind the Neck

Stand with your feet hip-width apart, with your shoulders pinned back and down. A bar is placed above posterior shoulder muscles at the base of the neck. Hands are just outside shoulders or slightly wider.

Rise up onto your toes and quickly pull under the bar into a semi-squat position simultaneously pressing the bar up to straight arms. Elbows are locked out and shoulders active. From the receiving position stand up to an upright position with fully straightened knees and hips while keeping the arms over head. Bend your knees to control the lowering of the bar back to the starting position.

Required equipment: Weights, free, Barbell
