EZ-Bar Standing French Press
The standing overhead extension on an EZ-bar; the angled grips keep the wrists comfortable as the bar drops behind the head.
How to do it
Setup
Standing tall, EZ-bar overhead on the inner bends, elbows by the ears.
Steps
- Lower the bar behind the head, elbows pointing up.
- Keep the ribs down and the glutes tight.
- Press back to straight arms overhead.
Common mistakes
Arching the lower back under the bar: brace before every rep. Elbows flaring: keep them near the ears. Bar knocking the back of the head: lower it slowly.
Breathing
Inhale lowering, exhale extending.
