Seated Front Barbell Press Video

This exercise is a great exercise for developing all three heads of the shoulder or deltoid muscle. This is a great mass builder for the shoulders. Let’s get into position for this exercise. Take a seat on the military seat and place your feet flat on the floor in front of you.

Take hold of the barbell with a slightly-wider-than-shoulder-width grip. Sit all the way back in the seat making sure that your back is straight and flat against the back pad.

To perform this exercise, pick up the bar from the racks and start from the top position. Slowly bring the bar down to an area slightly below the chin. When you reach the bottom of the movement, which is just below your chin, slowly begin pressing upward in a smooth, controlled , fluid motion without resting. Make sure that you don’t use and body momentum to move the weight. When you reach the top position of the movement, do not lock out the elbow joint.
