How to perform it
- Place a loaded bar at shoulder level in a rack. With a pronated grip at shoulder width, begin with the bar racked across the front of your shoulders. This is your starting position.
- Initiate the lift by extending the elbows to press the bar overhead. Avoid locking out the elbow as you move the weight behind your head.
- Lower the bar down to the back of the head until your elbow forms a right angle.
- Lift the bar back over your head by extending the elbows
- Lower the bar down to the starting position.
- Alternate in this manner until you complete the recommended amount of repetitions.
Muscles worked

Make it count toward your goal
Random sets rarely move the needle. In NYUS, the Standing Bradford Press slots into a plan built for your goal — sets and reps set in the plan, logged in two taps, and folded into a weekly check-in that adjusts your calories, macros and step goal.
