How to do it — Bradford/Rocky Presses
- 1Sit on a Military Press Bench with a bar at shoulder level with a pronated grip (palms facing forward). Tip: Your grip should be wider than shoulder width and it should create a 90-degree angle between the forearm and the upper arm as the barbell goes down. This is your starting position.
- 2Once you pick up the barbell with the correct grip, lift the bar up over your head by locking your arms.
- 3Now lower the bar down to the back of the head slowly as you inhale.
- 4Lift the bar back up to the starting position as you exhale.
- 5Lower the bar down to the starting position slowly as you inhale. This is one repetition.
- 6Alternate in this manner until you complete the recommended amount of repetitions.
