overhead press
Vertical barbell push
An overhead press is a weightlifting exercise where you push a barbell or dumbbells from shoulder height to full arm extension above your head: My overhead press has stalled at 135 pounds.
Also called a shoulder press or military press, it primarily works the deltoids and triceps.
The standing version engages the core for stability.
