The barbell seated shoulder press is a versatile exercise that can be included in any upper-body workout routine. It is a compound exercise that targets multiple muscle groups, making it an efficient exercise for building strength and muscle mass. Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned weightlifter, this is a great way to challenge your upper body and improve your overall fitness. In this exercise, you will be using a barbell and an adjustable bench to perform controlled lifts above your head.
How to perform Barbell Seated Shoulder Press
- Grab a barbell from your rack with a wider-than-shoulder-width overhand grip.
- Take a seat on an adjustable bench that has its backrest in a position that is just off-vertical.
- Lift the barbell above your head towards the ceiling so that your elbows are locked out and your palms are facing forward.
- Inhale and slowly lower the barbell down to chin level (in front of your head).
- Pause for a brief moment when the bar is in this position.
- Exhale and press the barbell back along the same path into the starting position.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions, being careful to maintain proper form throughout the exercise.
