Since the concept of "being below" is itself somewhat vague, scientists define the nadir in more rigorous terms. Specifically, in astronomy, geophysics and related sciences (e.g., meteorology), the nadir at a given point is the local vertical direction pointing in the direction of the force of gravity at that location. The direction opposite the nadir is the zenith. Nadir is
Overhead press the weight from the floor (clean and press). The weight is then pressed to overhead until the elbows are fully locked out.

The exercise can be done sitting or standing, with alternating arms or with a hammer grip in which the palms are turned in toward the face. Performing it standing
