Barbell Standing Close Grip Military Press

Stand with feet shoulder-width apart and hold a barbell with a close overhand grip (slightly narrower than shoulder-width). Bring the bar to shoulder height with your elbows slightly in front of the bar. Brace your core and keep your torso upright. Press the barbell overhead until your arms are fully extended. Pause briefly at the top, then slowly lower the bar back to shoulder height in a controlled motion. Keep your core tight and avoid leaning back or using momentum.
