Overhead Push Press

Position: Hold the Barbell in front of the body at shoulder height, with on overhand grip about shoulder width. Feet should be in a parallel stance position. The abdominals should be “Braced.” (“Bracing” consists of tightening your abdominals as if you were going to take a punch to the stomach).

Movement: Perform a partial squat producing a powerful eccentric load at the hips and knees. Explosively extend the hips and knees while simultaneously thrusting the barbell up into the overhead position. Once you have reached the end of the movement, return to the start position, and repeat.
