EZ Bar Underhand Press

How to Do

1. Setup: Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and grasp the EZ bar with an underhand (supinated) grip, hands slightly wider than shoulder-width.
2. Starting Position: Hold the bar at shoulder height, elbows bent at a 90-degree angle, and keep your chest lifted.
3. Press: Press the barbell overhead by extending your arms fully, exhaling as you push.
4. Pause: Briefly hold the top position, ensuring your arms are fully extended but not locked out.
5. Lower: Slowly lower the bar back to the starting position, inhaling as you descend.
6. Repeat: Perform the desired number of repetitions.

Benefits

The EZ Bar Underhand Press primarily targets the shoulders, particularly the front deltoids, while also engaging the triceps and upper chest. The underhand grip helps reduce strain on the wrists and shoulders compared to a traditional overhead press, making it a safer option for individuals with joint concerns. It also promotes strength and stability in the upper body and improves overall shoulder mobility.
