Introduction to Ground to Overhead Press

Learn how to perform the ground to overhead press exercise using a weighted plate.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow these steps to execute the ground to overhead press correctly:

  1. Identify Weight: Check the weight of the plate to understand your starting resistance.
  2. Setup: Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, plate on the floor in front of you.
