Sit-Up to Overhead Press (Weight Plate)

Also known as: Sit-Up to Overhead Press (Weight Plate).

A sit-up followed by an overhead press with one light weight plate.

How to perform this exercise

1. Lie supine with knees bent, both feet planted and one light plate held securely at chest height with both hands. Begin with head and back supported rather than forcing a neck hover.
2. Sit up under control, then press the plate above the shoulders. Lower the plate back to the chest and roll the torso back down. Keep feet planted and avoid using momentum.
