Improving Your Overhead Press

 The Overhead Press is a superb full body strength exercise. Although the shoulders are the primary movers in this exercise, it requires a huge degree of effort from the musculature of the core and legs in order to stabilise the movement. Therefore the benefits of regular performing this exercise and becoming competant with this exercise are massive. This 6 week program is guaranteed to improve your overhead pressing technique and performance. The program can be split into two sections - section 1 runs from week 1 to week 3 and there are 4 workouts per week to complete. Each workout foolows the same structure - an overhead exercise to begin, followed by an accessory shoulder exercise and then 2 upper body accessories. Section 2 follows exactly the same principle with the only alteration being the change in number of sets and reps which you are required to complete and also a change in the final workout of the week. Day 4 will focus solely on the Overhead Press and Push Press to allow you to increase the pure volume of work for these specific exercises which will in turn, cause your Overhead Pressing ability to improve - both in terms of technique and pure strength levels.
