Track Shoulder Press with Spotwell →Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, or sit on a bench with back support. Hold the bar at shoulder height with a grip slightly wider than shoulder-width.
Keep your core braced, chest up, and elbows slightly in front of the bar. The bar should rest on your upper chest/clavicles.
Take a deep breath and press the bar straight up. Keep your core tight and don't arch your back excessively.
Lock out your arms overhead, but don't hyperextend. The bar should be directly over your head, not behind it.
Control the bar back down to the starting position. Don't let it crash down on your shoulders.
