Military Press
The Military Press is a strength training exercise that primarily targets the shoulders, triceps, and upper chest. It involves lifting a barbell or dumbbells overhead while standing or seated. This exercise helps improve upper body strength and stability, making it a popular choice in weightlifting routines.
To perform the Military Press, start with the weights at shoulder height, palms facing forward. Press the weights upward until your arms are fully extended, then lower them back to the starting position. Proper form is essential to prevent injury and maximize effectiveness, so maintaining a straight back and engaged core is crucial.
