How to do it

  1. Hold a barbell on the front of your shoulders with a grip slightly wider than shoulder width, elbows slightly in front of the bar. Stand with your feet hip width apart. This will be your starting position.
  2. Dip by bending your knees a few centimeters, keeping your torso upright and your weight on your heels.
  3. Drive up forcefully through your legs and use that momentum to press the bar overhead until your arms are fully extended.
  4. Lower the bar under control back to your shoulders, and repeat.
