Stand upright and hold a barbell with your hands just outside shoulder-width apart (Palms facing forward) and elbows flexed to your sides.
2. Place the bar on your upper chest with your forearms perpendicular to the ground. This is the starting position.
3. Raise the barbell vertically by extending your arms overhead and pressing through your palms while keeping your forearms perpendicular to the ground.
NOTE: You are allowed to use your hips and knees to explosively raise the barbell, so you can load the bar with heavier weights in this exercise.
4. Once your arms are fully extended, pause for a moment and slowly lower the barbell back to the starting position.
