5 Total-Body Benefits of the Push Press

The Push Press

We can all use more overhead strength and power. Sometimes it’s needed for a simple menial task like stocking shelves overhead and other times to throw an overhand right in the self-perseveration situation at the gas station at 3 AM. 

One of the most effective ways to build this strength and power is with the push press.
