WEIGHTED BAR

MANUAL & EXERCISE GUIDE

Get tank top-ready by adding weight to your shoulder routine.

The shoulder press is just one movement you can do with the

body bar. Start by performing two sets of

12 to 15 repetitions.

Stand with feet hip-

distance apart, knees

slightly bent.

Hold the body bar across

your shoulders in front of

your neck, so that your

palms are facing forward,

your elbows bent.

Press the bar directly up

over your head, stopping

just shy of straightening

your elbows

Reverse the movement

and lower the bar back to

the starting position.
