BARBELL Z PRESS

The Barbell Z Press is a shoulder press variant that increases thoracic spine and scapulothoracic joint mobility demand. Start by sitting on the floor with your knees straight and hips spread open. Keep the barbell in front of your body at the start position with hands at shoulder height. Raise the bar overhead while pushing your upper body slightly forward to get under the bar. Be sure not to over emphasize the forward jutting of your head and face relative to your shoulders and chest.

Muscles Involved:

  • Upper Trapezius

  • Levator Scapulae
