How to perform it

Press the load overhead without over-arching the lower back. Lower under control to the point where the shoulders and torso remain stable. Prioritize control over speed. Maintain useful tension through the range and deliberately reset the starting position before the next repetition.

Tips

Do not turn the final repetitions into fast or partial movements. Aim to load shoulders and triceps without sacrificing position; at intermediate level, progress control first and then add load, repetitions or complexity. Set the seat, backrest and machine axis before loading it; poor setup changes the path and often creates compensations.
