Military Press (Standing Front Press)
Description:

   

Stance - Grip bar with a clean grip and place bar in the rack position for a clean.  Lift the bar from the squat rack and take 2 steps back.  Position your feet hip width apart with knees slightly bent and feet flat on the floor.  Keep your torso upright with your back straight, abs tight, and chest inflated with air.

Press & Lockout - Bar is pushed upward and over the head with the shoulders and arms.  The bar should end in a position where your biceps are covering your ears, elbows are locked out, and the bar, shoulders, and hips are in a straight line.  Pause in the top position for a count while pushing up on the bar in the overhead position.  Return the bar to the start and exhale, reset for the next repetition.
