Press the weight straight up towards the ceiling avoiding the face until the weight is overhead and the arms are locked out straight. Try to keep your abs in tight to prevent excessive lower back rounding. Lower the weight under control until the weight is near the collar bones and then repeat or the desired repetitions. After your reps lower the bar over the front knee making sure not to drop it on your leg and hurt yourself. Use bumper plates if you can to avoid damaging equipment or flooring. Repeat on both sides.
