What’s the difference between an overhead press and a shoulder press? Well, a shoulder press comes with back support in the form of an upright bench that you lean on. An overhead press relies completely on your core for balance. It can also be done sitting. If you wanna bring your core into the press then this is the way to go!
Adding another dimension to squats! This one is unique because, in comparison to back squats, the resistance is below you. Not everyone is designed to squat with a bar on their back, so this is a great way to get them in!
Working one side at a time works wonders for aesthetics and symmetry. The vast majority of people are more dominant on one side of the body. Personally, my left pectoral muscle has always been smaller than the right, whilst my left deltoid (shoulder muscle) has always been bigger than the left. Go figure, right? This is all down to my own unique biomechanics.
This chest press exercise will help fix the imbalance in symmetry for the pectoral muscles. Be sure to work your weaker side first, so that you don’t continue to over work the other. That way if you hit muscle failure before the set finishes on the weaker side, you will know to stop early on the dominant side. Keep this up for a couple of months and you should notice a more even balance in strength & size!
Use this exercise to build strong glutes. Be sure to keep the bar across the bony part of your pelvis to ensure that you are pushing through the hips. Hold and squeeze glutes are at the top. Try not to rest on the floor in between reps.
