Description

An exercise that targets the shoulders and arms by pressing your body weight upwards while keeping your back straight. The exercise can improve upper body strength and stability.

How to Do Bodyweight Standing Military Press

1
Setup
Begin in a high plank position with your hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart, fingers pointing forward.
2
Setup
Pike your hips high towards the ceiling, forming an inverted 'V' shape with your body, keeping your legs and back straight.
3
Bend your elbows, lowering the crown of your head towards the floor between your hands, ensuring your elbows track slightly backward and out.
4
Press through your palms, extending your elbows to push your body back up to the starting pike position.
5
Exhale as you press up and inhale as you lower down, maintaining control throughout the movement.

Tips

Focus on lowering the top of your head towards the floor, not your forehead, to maintain a neutral cervical spine.
Keep your elbows from flaring out excessively; aim for them to track at about a 45-degree angle relative to your torso.
Actively drive through the palms of your hands, imagining you're pushing the floor away, to maximize shoulder and triceps engagement.
To increase the difficulty, elevate your feet on a stable surface like a bench or box, which will increase the load on your shoulders.

Common Mistakes

×Arching the lower back: Prevent this by engaging your core and maintaining a straight line from your hips to your shoulders in the pike position.
×Not achieving full range of motion: Ensure you lower your head close to the floor to fully engage the deltoids and triceps.
×Flaring elbows out wide: Correct this by tucking your elbows slightly towards your body, which protects your shoulder joints and improves muscle activation.
