Overhead Press Overhead press is an exercise for isolating the triceps. The triceps brachii is composed of three heads. The three heads of the triceps have separate attachments near the shoulder but a singular attachment for each muscle just below the elbow. Even though body mechanics don't allow for complete isolation of any one given head, you can slightly shift the emphasis from one head to another by using a variety of exercises and angles. Good exercises for well defined and stong triceps include dips, overhead press, skull crushers, chest press, bench press, shoulder press and lateral raise.Starting position: Stand upright with your arms up and elbows bent so that the barbell is behind your head. Movement: Straighten your arms as you press the bar towards the ceiling. Back to Fitness Fanatic Homepage. |
