How to do the stalder press
- Start by standing with your feet shoulder-width apart and your arms extended overhead.
- Bend your knees slightly and engage your core.
- Lower your body down into a squat position while keeping your arms extended overhead.
- As you squat down, press your arms down towards the ground, engaging your triceps.
- Pause for a moment at the bottom of the squat, then push through your heels to stand back up while simultaneously raising your arms back overhead.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Sets and reps
Start with 3 sets of 10–15 reps, resting 45–60 seconds. When every set feels easy, add reps, slow the lowering phase or move to a harder variation.
