Barbell Seated Behind Head Military Press

Sit on a bench with back support and grip a barbell slightly wider than shoulder-width. Position the bar behind your head at upper shoulder level. Keeping your core tight and back straight, press the barbell upward until your arms are fully extended overhead. Pause briefly, then slowly lower the bar back down behind your head to the starting position. Keep the movement controlled and avoid flaring your elbows or using momentum.
