The Overpowered Upper Body Exercise You Need to Know About (Build Muscle & Strength FAST!)

So today I got another fitness focused episode, Talking all about the OP upper body exercise you may not have much experience or exposure to, The overhead barbell press. The press is in my opinion the best developer of raw upper body strength. The press is a fickle and unforgiving disciplinarian in technique and patience. The most dramatic changes in my real world strength from my upper body have come from when I got my press from 95 lbs to 185 lbs. No question. Many things felt lighter and man does it feel bad ass to get anything over 135 over your head and and then control it back down snug into the starting position. The press is a disciplinarian because once it gets heavy it allows very little room for error. If your technique is sloppy you almost certainly will fail. Unlike the squat or deadlift or even bench press which has several handicaps from either the amount of muscles you can use to help compensate for technique or the fact that you have a platform to push off of in the bench press that wont move ( hopefully ). So today I want to talk about why the press is important, some safety misconceptions about the press and then finally how to approach the press and what to expect when including it into your exercise routine for the first time. So without further ado let's get dive into todays content.
