Push Press
Push Press
Also known as the Barbell Push Press, the Push Press movement can be done with dumbbells or a barbell, however you feel most comfortable.
To begin the Push Press movement, grab a barbell with an overhand grip and stand with your feet slightly wider than hip width. Keep your lower back arched and butt back, lift the barbell, flaring elbows out, and then flip wrists and clean bar to rest on you clavicles and shoulders. Make sure to bring your elbows high so that they are nearly parallel to the floor.
Slightly flex your hips and knees, keeping torso erect and getting a good grasp on the bar, and then explosively striaghten your hips and legs while pressing the bar over and slightly behind your knees.
Lower bar to shoulders and bend hips and knees simultaneously, then straighten hips and knees and immediately press bar overhead again. That completes one rep of the Barbell Push Press.
**Julie Lohre’s Tip: For the Push Press, keep your core tight as you drive the weight overhead.

What a difference 8 weeks makes!
“I was skeptical when I first read about Julie Lohre’s Lifestyle program because I had been searching for something for a long time that would help me make a real change not just a lose weight quick and gain it back thing. After 8 weeks, I have more energy and feel great about myself… especially in a bathing suit. The results speak for themselves. I am down 18 lbs in 8 weeks and wearing clothes that I have not been able to wear in years! My husband loves that I eat ‘normal food’ and that I am not constantly feeling like I am dieting. THANK YOU for making a straight forward plan that fits in my life and does not make me feel crazy!”
