As we move toward the weekend, we finish our sets of 3 for the strength movements for this week. Last month, we worked on static strength in our shoulders. Without using the rest of our body, the shoulder press relies solely on the athletes shoulder strength when moving the bar overhead. The Push Press permit the athlete to use a slight dip and drive in order to achieve upward momentum on the bar before the shoulders take over to complete the lift locked out overhead.
