Overview

The slow overhead press is an exercise that targets the shoulders. It is performed by holding a weight overhead and slowly lowering it behind your head, then pressing it back up. This exercise is a good way to build strength and size in the shoulders, and it can also help to improve your posture. To perform the slow overhead press, start by standing with your feet shoulder-width apart and your knees slightly bent. Hold a weight in each hand, with your arms extended straight out in front of you. Slowly raise the weights overhead until they are directly above your head, then lower them behind your head in a controlled manner. Repeat this for 8-12 repetitions.
