How to perform a standing press?

1. Don't forget about safety. A weightlifting belt, hard-soled shoes, chalk, and chalk are essential accessories for this exercise.

Keep in mind: The exercise is much more difficult than the Seated Press, since here you have to maintain your balance in an upright position with a large weight. Clarity and coordination are important. The possibility of injury or dropping the projectile is also much greater - remember this!

Carrying out standing press, try to do it cleanly - without using cheating:

1. deviation of the body to the side,
2. rocking,
3. sharp jerk
4. sit-ups,
5. help with legs,
6. back help.
