Step-by-step
- Sit on a bench with back support and grip the bar slightly wider than shoulder width
- Hold the bar at collarbone level with your elbows under the bar
- Brace your core and press the bar overhead
- Once the bar passes your head, bring your head slightly forward to lock the bar over the vertical line
- Lower the bar under control to chin-collarbone level
Coaching tip
The seated position removes leg drive; start lighter than your standing press.
