Directions:

- Keeping the elbows bent to about 90 degrees, rotate the barbell over and behind your head.
- Return the barbell to your chest, again keeping the elbows again fixed at the same angle.
- Press the barbell straight up by extending the elbows, and then return the weight to the starting position.
