2. BARBELL SHOULDER PRESS

REPS: 8-10 REST: 90 secs SETS: 3-4

The shoulder press is a hugely effective upper-body lift for adding size and strength to this major muscle group.

With your feet shoulder-width apart, position a bar on your upper chest, gripping it with your hands just wider than shoulder-width apart.

Keep your chest upright and your core muscles braced.

Press the bar directly upwards until your arms are extended overhead.

Lower the bar back to your chest and repeat.
