Advance

Overhead Press

Equipment · Barbell
Setup

Bar on the front delts, elbows slightly in front of the bar, glutes and abs braced before the first rep.

Coaching cue

Squeeze glutes, ribs down. No layback.

Most common mistake

Leaning back to turn it into an incline press. If the ribs flare and the lower back arches, the weight is too heavy.
