Standing Overhead Press Training

Standing overhead press at 200 lb for three sets of five. Use an abbreviated warm-up because the upper body is already primed from squats, focus on the single repetition at hand, press close to the face, and lock out over the midfoot.

Key points

  • Use a streamlined warm-up progression (empty bar, 95 lbs, 135 lbs, 185 lbs) to keep total workout duration under an hour
  • Focus strictly on the single repetition at hand rather than mentally fatiguing on subsequent reps
  • Press the barbell close to the face and lock out vertically over the midfoot

Common mistakes

Over-warming up with excessive volume before working sets or mentally giving up during the fourth and fifth reps of a heavy set.
