What's the Overhead Press? Press the bar from your
front shoulders overhead until your elbows are locked. Your knees and
hips must remain locked through the whole movement otherwise you're
doing Push Preses. Stance should be shoulder-width apart (heels together
is Military Press, which is harder).
Is the Overhead Press Safe? If you can't press the bar overhead, lower it back on your chest & put it on the floor.
The overhead press
is a great movement—it's weightlifting's ultimate form. You can't
half-ass it. You either get the weight over your head, or you punk out.
End of story.
Because it's a demanding movement, it's easy to get stuck. Overhead press gains come much more slowly than gains from squats or deadlifts.
Once you've hit a sticking point, adding even five pounds to an
overhead press means you've done your damndest to strengthen and grow
your shoulders, chest, traps, and arms.

How to Do the Skullcrusher
When it comes to the “best” triceps exercise, the conversation most often involves the following three:
Extending the arms by flexing and extending the elbow joint in a rear or overhead motion while holding dumbbells or barbells or a weighted cable is called "triceps extension." This exercise develops the muscles at the back of the upper arms. The version in this description is the "skullcrusher" or overhead triceps extension while lying on a flat bench using a single dumbbell. It gets the name skullcrusher because some exercisers perform it incorrectly by lowering the weight directly toward the forehead. A barbell or two dumbbells can also be used.
- Dips.
- Close grip bench press.
- Skull crushers.
