Press Technique
The Overhead Press


press technique



I get excited about overhead press technique because I recently used some of the weight lifting techniques in Starting Strength to greatly increase my overhead press strength.


When I started using proper pressing technique, I once again started increasing the weight each workout and set new personal records. I still continue to increase my strength simply from doing the press correctly now!


I want to share with you how I was able to correct and perfect my shoulder press technique. I'm sure you've noticed that I refer to the overhead press as the press. The overhead press was the original press and too many people ignore this exercise!


I, along with Coach Rippetoe, believe this exercise to be superior to the bench press for upper body strength and functionality. You can lift more weight with the bench press, so I'm not saying the bench press is not a great exercise.


I'm just saying that the overhead press gets no credit while the bench press is the most known exercise in the world. Learn how to overhead press correctly and watch your bench press strength explode!


Starting Strength by Coach Rippetoe

Coach Mark Rippetoe is a USA Weightlifting Senior Coach, and uses intelligent weight lifting techniques to help lifters around the world get stronger faster. He uses his knowledge of the human body to help lifters use proper mechanics to lift heavier weight.


After you read this page and watch the videos below on the overhead press, you should see how great Coach Rippetoe is at teaching proper weight lifting techniques. You will instantly gain strength and make faster progress!



Watch all of those videos, take notes, and purchase Starting Strength to learn even more about proper press technique along with all of the other best weightlifting exercises! You can buy Starting Strength from Amazon at the link below.

You can also read some of the pages inside the book. Go to the link above and find the "Search Inside" link at Amazon. If you read the reviews on this book, you'll see how much everyone loves this book. It's well worth the money!


The Overhead Press is a top notch exercise!
You must include it in your weightlifting program.



This book is for beginners to advanced lifters. Never think you can't learn something new. I've been lifting for a long time, and I try to learn something new every day of the week!
