Back Press

back press

I read a Frederic Delavier’s book « Strength Training Anatomy » and there is good stuff.

Sitting with your back straight. Take the barbell with your hand in pronation behind your neck :

  • Inhale and press the barbell above your head without arching your back

  • Exhale at the end of the movement

This exercice works deltoids (middle part and posterior part), upper trapezius, triceps and serratus anterior. It works a little rhomboids, infraspinatus, teres minor and supraspinatus.

This movement can do standing or with the machine smith. There is several machine to do this exercice with more security.

Warning : To avoid trauma to shoulders joint, rest the barbell higher or lower behind the neck according individual differences in morphology and flexibility.
