How to Perform Seated Overhead Press

Sit upright on a bench with back support while holding a barbell at shoulder height with an overhand grip slightly wider than shoulder-width. Keep your feet flat on the floor and your core engaged. Press the barbell upward by extending your arms until the bar is directly overhead and your arms are nearly straight. Pause briefly at the top, then slowly lower the bar back to shoulder height with control.
