"Ok, what I'm going to perform now is, Behind the Neck Barbell Shoulder Press. So you want to bring the barbell slowly down, behind the neck, and press it back up, at the same tempo. Control it, and you want to be careful with this exercise. You don't want to strain your neck, so you don't want to pull a heavy weight. Just a good enough weight, for you to have enough tension on the shoulders. You want to do between eight to ten reps, three to four sets. They also call this, The Military Press Behind the Neck, so you want to again, control the tempo. Lower the weight behind the neck. Press it up, and squeeze the shoulders, throughout the exercise. When you bring it up, and when you lower it, you want to keep on squeezing the shoulders, and that's how you perform, The Behind the Neck Barbell Press."
