military press
Standing barbell raise
A military press is a weightlifting exercise where you push a barbell or dumbbells overhead from shoulder height while standing or sitting, keeping the torso rigid and upright: I added twenty pounds to my military press this month.
The name evokes the strict, disciplined posture required—no arching the back or using leg drive to assist the lift.
