5 Smacking Ways To Have Boulder Shoulders

#5 Seated Barbell Military Press

The seated barbell military press is an intermediate-level exercise that primarily tones the shoulder muscles. Other target muscles include the biceps, triceps and the muscles in the forearm region.

Instructions:

Step 1: Sit on a flat bench with a straight back. Plant your feet firmly on the ground and secure the barbell with a grip that is slightly wider than the distance between the shoulders. Position it overhead with fully extended arms such that the palms are facing away from the body.

Step 2: Slowly lower the barbell until it is just below the chin region. In this position, the upper arms must be parallel to the floor.

Step 3: Hold the position for a second and return to the starting position.

Repeat the exercise for the recommended number repetitions.

Important tip: Beginners are advised to perform this exercise with the help of a spotter.
