Push Press
The Push Press is a weightlifting exercise that targets the shoulders, arms, and core. It involves lifting a barbell or dumbbells from shoulder height to overhead using a combination of leg drive and upper body strength. The movement begins with a slight dip in the knees, followed by an explosive upward thrust, allowing the lifter to press the weight overhead.
This exercise is commonly used in strength training and functional fitness programs, such as CrossFit. It helps improve overall power and stability, making it beneficial for athletes and fitness enthusiasts alike. Proper form is essential to prevent injury and maximize effectiveness.
