Standing upright, position yourself under the barbell so that you may grab it slightly wider than shoulder-width apart with your palms facing away from you.
Remove the barbell from the rack and take a step backward.
Exhale and raise your arms up overhead, pushing up in a straight line, without hitting your chin.
Continue raising your arms up overhead until they are fully extended with the barbell directly overhead.
Inhale and lower the barbell, returning to the starting position.
After all reps are completed, return the barbell to the rack.
