Exercise Spotlight: Overhead Press

It's been a while since the last Exercise Spotlight, but it's back with one of the best, and most basic, upper body lifts - the overhead press.

True, I already put the Spotlight on the push press and I still believe the push press is tremendous for building strength, size, and athleticism, but the overhead press is fundamental and often-overlooked, hence... the Spotlight.

I'm also skipping the usual format for the Exercise Spotlight, because the overhead press was thoroughly explained in my recent TMUSCLE article - The Overhead Press: Bodybuilding's Forgotten Muscle Builder.

That should explain pretty much everything you need to know about what to do, what not to do, how to do it, and why to do it.

Well-built shoulders are where it's at, and the overhead press is one of the best ways there.
