Free Weight Military Presses

Video Transcript

"Military press is great for working the immediate part of the shoulder and is a good functional exercise for everyday movement. What we are going to do is bring our elbows out to peripheral vision, this is our starting point, not down here but right here where we have got that line, elbow, shoulder, wrist, elbow, shoulder. We are going to take a big inhale. We have got a nice stable base here with our feet, weight in all four corners of our feet, nice active core, inhale and exhale. There is peak contraction, we don't need to bring them together because we want to keep those joints in line. When we bring it back down to our stopping point, boom, elbows stay right out to peripheral vision, inhale, contract and release, cervical, neutral posture and release, contract and release. Again this is good for focusing on that meaty part. You are going to involve traps, working 10 to 15 reps, 3 sets."
