In this video, I’m focusing on Overhead Lockouts, a key movement to build triceps strength, improve your overhead press, and develop overall pressing power. Overhead lockouts involve pressing a barbell (or dumbbells) to full arm extension overhead and holding it at the top position, where the triceps and shoulders are fully engaged. This exercise isolates the final phase of the press, helping to increase lockout strength and stability.

I’ll guide you through the proper setup, execution, and form tips for this movement. The key to mastering overhead lockouts is ensuring solid bracing through the core, engaging the shoulders, and driving the weight overhead with control. By adding lockouts into your routine, you’ll develop explosive triceps strength, improve pressing power, and increase your ability to handle heavier weights in your overhead pressing movements.

If you're looking to break through a plateau in your overhead press, increase triceps size and strength, or just improve your pressing lockout, overhead lockouts are a fantastic addition to your training program.
