Shoulder Press - feet under hips, tight core, lock out knees, elbows in front of the bar, bar resting on shoulders, drive the bar straight up (move head out of way), bar ends up directly over the ears with locked out elbows and active shoulders. Do not lean back or round the bar around the chin.

At the bottom of the front squat, drive up with the elbows to keep the bar on the front of the shoulder. This avoids the shoulders coming forward causing a chain reaction of the elbows dropping and coming forward on the toes.
