Behind the Neck Press
How to do it
- Stand or sit with feet shoulder width apart and grip a bar wider than shoulder width, resting it across the upper back of the shoulders.
- Brace the core and keep the chin level, avoiding excessive forward head lean as the bar sits behind the neck.
- Press the bar straight overhead, keeping the path close to the body as the arms extend.
- Lock the arms out fully overhead with the biceps near the ears at the top.
- Lower the bar back down behind the neck to shoulder level under slow control.
- Keep the elbows tracking under the wrists throughout to maintain a stable bar path.
