#3 Barbell Push Press
Similar to the regular military press, the push press is a shoulder press exercise that focuses on lifting weights (preferably a barbell) overhead but with the aid of an extra ‘push’ from the legs. This variation not only improves the overall body coordination but also works as a great balance for beginners and novice trainers.
One could perform this exercise even with a smith machine.
Instructions:
Step 1: Hold the barbell in the front of the head at the shoulder level with a firm grip ensuring the position of the palms has almost the same distance as the width of the shoulder.
Step 2: Lower the knees to a half squat posture to complete the initial position of the exercise.
Step 3: Lift the weights overhead using arms and the legs with the final position ensuring completely extended legs and arms. Hold for a moment and slowly move back to the initial position. Repeat the exercise for the recommended number of repetitions.
