After killing my arms by doing 100 bicep curls every day for a month, I realised it was high time I turned my attention to my shoulders in my quest to get Linda Hamilton-esque arms circa Terminator 2. And what better place to start that process, I thought, than with the overhead press?
The overhead press, also called the shoulder press or straight press, is one of the best shoulder exercises around to build the size and strength of your shoulders and involves pushing some form of resistance above your head by extending your arms upwards from the shoulders.
