How To: Overhead Press


I am so glad he called this a total body exercise right in the beginning. At first glance you think shoulders, but once you perform this movement, you realize how much of a total body movement it truly is.

At around the 1 minute mark, I would like to see a bit more bracing of the core to simultaneously bring the ribs down and avoid over arching in the lower back.

At the 2.5 minute mark, he mentions not to press the weight with your legs. This is correct if your goal is a strict overhead press. However, using the legs is a separate exercise which will be covered in a separate video.
