Push Press

Purpose of this exercise: TO BUILD THE DELTOIDS and UPPER BODY

This exercise is generally used as a 'Cheating Principle' exercise. That is, you can use this exercise to lift a barbell that you would normally find too heavy to use for a strict shoulder press.

Technique

1.	With the barbell resting on the ground (or on a rack at shoulder level) to start, take hold of the bar with an overhand grip. Keep your hands a little more than shoulder width apart.
2.	Clean the weight up to shoulder height.
3.	Bend your knees a little and then press up with your legs to get the bar started moving up. Use this initial motion to help you push the barbell over your head. Lock your elbows at the top.
4.	Lower the weight to shoulder height slowly to finish the exercise.

CAUTIONS!!

• Never exercise without a competent spotter.
• The Barbell should always be lowered in a controlled descent.
