How to do the Barbell Behind Neck Military Press
- Sit on a bench without back support, holding a barbell with both hands. Your hands should be slightly wider than shoulder-width apart, and the barbell should rest on your upper back and shoulders.
- Sit up straight. Start with your elbows bent and the barbell behind your neck.
- Press the barbell overhead until your arms are fully extended, keeping the bar slightly behind your head.
- Slowly lower the barbell back to the starting position behind your neck with control. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Form tips
- Maintain an upright posture without leaning back.
- Breathe steadily, exhaling as you press the barbell up and inhaling as you lower it back down.
- Ensure your movements are symmetrical to avoid muscle imbalances.
