The Barbell Seated Bradford Rocky Press is a combination exercise that targets the shoulders, triceps, and upper chest. It involves a seated overhead press movement with a barbell, along with a rotating motion of the arms to engage the muscles from different angles.
How to perform
To perform the Barbell Seated Bradford Rocky Press, follow these step-by-step instructions:1. Sit on a bench with your back straight and your feet firmly planted on the ground.
2. Hold a barbell with an overhand grip slightly wider than shoulder-width apart, resting on your upper chest.
3. Press the barbell overhead until your arms are fully extended, keeping your core engaged and back straight.
4. Once the barbell is above your head, rotate your wrists so that your palms face forward and the barbell is directly over your head.
5. Slowly lower the barbell back to the starting position, rotating your wrists back to the starting position as you do so.
6. Repeat for the desired number of reps.
It's important to use proper form and control throughout the movement to avoid injury and maximize the effectiveness of the exercise. Start with a light weight to familiarize yourself with the movement before increasing the load.
