"Overhead Press A True Test Of Strength And Muscle Mass"

Monday evening rolls around and your in the gym. Everone starts the week with their favorite muscle group, the chest, and everones favorite exercise, the bench press. You gather around with your buddies after waiting thirty mintues for a bench. You go through your warm ups and now your into your work sets. You LAY on the bench. Your spotter HANDS you the weight with a lift off. You arch your back off the bench so high your butt is not on the bench, in what looks like a decline bench. You BOUNCE the weight off your chest/stomach. And the spotter is HELPING you lockout the weight you jump up and high five everone because you just benched 315. And that is now what you tell everone when they ask "how much do you lift".Click Here!

Now let's look at the overhead press. You stand in front of the weight on floor. You bend over and pick up the weight and clean it to the chest. Working the legs,back, forearms, and biceps. Now the chest is resting on upper chest. With your own strength you push the weight overhead. Working the shoulders,arms,upper chest, abs and your balance. It is a little hard to cheat on the overhead press, but it can be done.

The overhead press just works more muscle than the bench press. The bench press works all the chest,shoulders, and triceps. The overhead press done from the floor works the legs,back, upper chest, triceps,biceps,forearms,shoulders, and traps. That is almost the whole body with one exercise. The bech press done the way it is done in most gyms and by most people is just a sloppy and easy exercise. The overhead press is just a more difficult exercise. And a hard exercise while make you stronger all over. More muscle being worked the more weight used the more muscle mass gained.

On top of the muscles being worked in the overhead press. On top of the strength and power that the overhead press develops. There is no support wear that you can use in the press. No bench shirt, no knee wraps, no power suit, no hand off, no spotter. Just you and the weight. Now that will develop real daddy muscles.
