    Barbell Push Press

    Overhead press started with leg drive. Teaches the lower body to start the movement and the arms to finish it.

    Why it matters for golf

    The push press starts with leg drive and finishes overhead. That ground up sequence, legs first then arms, mirrors how speed builds in the golf swing. It also builds real overhead strength.

    Coaching cues

    • Short, straight dip, chest tall.
    • Drive the legs hard, then punch the bar up.
    • Finish with the bar stacked over the mid foot.
    • Lock out and hold for a beat.

    Common faults

    • Dip turns into a slow squat.
    • Chest tips forward in the dip.
    • Pressing early before the legs finish.
