Barbell Reverse-Grip Overhead Press

1. Starting Position:
- Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart.
- Grip the barbell with a reverse grip (palms facing you) and lift it to shoulder height. Your hands should be slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
- Keep your elbows tucked close to your body and the bar resting on your front shoulders.

2. Body Positioning:
- Stand tall with your chest up and shoulders back. Your gaze should be forward.
- Engage your core muscles to maintain stability throughout the movement.

3. Pressing the Bar:
- Inhale deeply to brace your core.
- Press the barbell upwards in a controlled motion. Extend your arms fully overhead without locking your elbows.
- Make sure to keep the barbell aligned over your shoulders and not leaning forward or backward.

4. Returning to Starting Position:
- Slowly lower the barbell back down to shoulder height while exhaling.
- Maintain control and avoid letting the bar drop quickly.

5. Repetitions:
- Perform 8-12 repetitions for 2-4 sets, resting for 60-90 seconds between sets.

Tips:
- Start with light weights to master the form before adding more resistance.
- Keep your wrists straight to avoid strain.
- Focus on using your shoulders and upper body to lift the barbell, rather than pushing with your legs.
