Seated Overhead Press

Primary Muscles Used:

• Shoulders
• Triceps

Key Points To Keep In Mind:

1. Keep the wrists over the elbows.
2. Hands should be slightly wider than shoulder width, or about your bench press hand position.
3. When pressing overhead, shoot your head through the “window” or between your arms, so that the bar is over your hips and ears.
4. Lower the weight to below the chin.*

Programming Considerations:

• This should be used as a main movement or supplemental movement in your training program.
• *If you have chronic shoulder issues or have pain, this movement should be avoided.
• This should be used for 3-5 sets of 5-12 repetitions, based upon where it falls in your training program.
