Z Press

Here we have an upper body vertical push movement. This variation should be a prerequisite to the barbell press for the z variation and standing. This variation helps teach you to brace the core. Because we are sitting, you take the legs out of the equation, making it a pure upper body exercise. It’s hard to cheat with the z press, so start easy and get the movement down before attempting heavy weights.

I love doing these single arm, making the core work harder to stabilize. But you can do these with both arms as well.
