Barbell Push Press
A short dip and drive from the legs starts the bar, the shoulders finish it overhead.
How to do it
Setup
Bar in the front rack, feet hip-width, torso tall.
Steps
- Dip short and fast at the knees.
- Drive the legs to launch the bar off the shoulders.
- Punch the lockout overhead; lower to the rack.
Common mistakes
Slow dip: the stretch reflex dies; sharp and shallow. Hips shooting back: vertical dip, tall chest. Press finishing without the head-through: stack the lockout.
Breathing
Inhale at the dip, exhale punching up.
