Push Press

Overhead Power

WHAT IS IT

The barbell Push Press is named directly in HYROX wall ball guides. It strengthens the shoulders and triceps while teaching you to generate upward power from the legs rather than pressing with the arms alone.

HOW TO DO IT CORRECTLY

  1. 1Hold the bar in a front rack position across the shoulders, elbows up.
  2. 2Brace the core and dip a few inches by bending the knees, torso staying vertical.
  3. 3Reverse the dip explosively and drive the bar off the shoulders.
  4. 4Punch the head through and lock the bar out overhead, over mid-foot.
  5. 5Lower the bar back to the rack and absorb it by bending the knees slightly.
