Barbell Front Press

Take an overhand grip on a moderately heavy barbell resting on the gym floor, your hands set 3 - 4 inches wider than your shoulders on each side. Set your feet about shoulder width apart, dip your hips, bending at the knees, and clean the barbell to your shoulders. Start the movement with your elbows directly beneath the bar, and keep them under the bar throughout your set. Stand erect and don't bend backwards as you do this movement.
