How to Do:
Set Up: Stand on the resistance band handles or anchor the band securely under your feet. Ensure the band is evenly distributed to prevent imbalance. Attach the bar to the band if needed.

Press Overhead: Slowly push the bar upward until your arms are fully extended above your head. Keep the movement controlled and avoid arching your lower back.
Return to Start: Lower the bar back behind your head to the starting position, maintaining tension in the band throughout the movement.
Repeat: Perform the desired number of repetitions, focusing on proper form and controlled motion.
Benefits:
The Behind the Head Military Press with a resistance bar strengthens the shoulders, triceps, and upper back. This exercise also promotes flexibility and stability in the shoulder joints while engaging the core for balance. Using the resistance band provides variable tension, making it a joint-friendly alternative to traditional weights.
