Standing Overhead Press

Should my feet be side by side or one in front of the other? Also, what type of posture should I use during the lift to prevent any back or shoulder injuries? Ass out? chest up? Curve in lower back? Bent knees?

I want to start doing the motion standing but I want to be sure I'm doing it right.

Thanks

Stand tall, chest up, hips pushed forward, and try to minimize bending at the lower back. Start with your feet side by side, and as you progress to heavier weights try staggering your stance.
