Z Press Video Exercise Guide

Z Press Video Exercise Guide

The Z press is a seated variation of the overhead press that primarily targets the muscles of the shoulder.

The Z press is a variation used by predominately powerlifters and strongmen competitors to train the upper body to keep an upright position while pressing overhead.

It is also beneficial for bodybuilders to perform the Z press if they are looking to completely isolate the pushing muscles as it does completely take leg drive out of the pressing equation.
