The overhead press is a strength training exercise that targets the muscles in the shoulders, arms, and upper chest. It involves lifting a weight, such as a barbell or dumbbells, from shoulder height to above the head. This movement can be performed standing or seated and is effective for building upper body strength and stability. To perform the overhead press correctly, start with your feet shoulder-width apart and hold the weight at shoulder level. Engage your core and press the weight upward until your arms are fully extended. Lower the weight back to the starting position and repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
