How to perform the seated overhead press
- Sit on a bench with a back support and your feet flat on the ground. Hold a barbell with an overhand grip, hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart. Start with the barbell at your collarbone level and your elbows bent. Press the barbell overhead, extending your arms and engaging your shoulders and triceps. Slowly lower the barbell back to the starting position and repeat.
