Push press, håndvægte
The push press is an exercise for training your shoulders and explosiveness. It develops upper-body strength, conditions the rotator cuff and works your abs as you hold the weight in the overhead position. It is a good movement for building shoulder strength and volume as the use of full-body momentum allows you to handle more weight than the strict shoulder press, but it isn’t quite as technical or tricky to master as the full-fledged push-jerk.
