Push Press: A Leg-Assisted Overhead Press Variant
Understanding the Push Press
The push press is a variant of the overhead press that effectively combines the use of the upper and lower body muscles to lift a barbell or dumbbells overhead. It begins with an athletic dip position, where the knees are bent, and then uses this momentum to launch the weight upwards. The push press is a great exercise for building strength, increasing muscle mass, and improving overall athletic performance.Benefits of the Push Press
The push press offers several benefits, including:
- Improved upper body strength, especially in the shoulders, chest, and triceps
- Enhanced lower body power by engaging the quadriceps, hamstrings, and glutes
- Increased muscle mass and hypertrophy throughout the body
- Improved athletic performance in sports that require overhead pressing movements
