Coaching cues
From a front rack, dip a few inches at the knees and drive the bar overhead using your legs, then lock out with the shoulders. The leg drive lets you handle more than a strict press — an overload for the shoulders and lockout. Keep your core braced; don't lean back.
Orion Coach programs the Barbell Push Press for you. Sets, reps, and load that adapt to your recovery, in real time.
