The Overhead Trifecta
Shoulder Press, Push Press, Push Jerk

You can push jerk more than you can push press, and you can push press more than you can shoulder press. No secret there.

But did you know that most can push press roughly 30 percent more than they can shoulder press and push jerk roughly 30 percent more than they can push press? 

Although not an obvious core-to-extremity movement, the shoulder press requires midline stabilization.

At AKL we reinforce the importance of core strength for movements such as overhead pressing with what we call Midline Finishers. A couple times a week we finish the workout off with a focused core circuit so when it comes to overhead pressing we have the strength to brace and resist hyperextension of the lower back as we press.
