The strict press, also known as the military press or shoulder press, is a weightlifting exercise that targets the shoulders and triceps.
The exercise is performed by pressing a barbell or dumbbells overhead while standing with your feet shoulder-width apart. The exercise is called “strict press” because the lifter is not allowed to use any leg drive or momentum to assist in the movement.
The movement is done entirely with the upper body muscles and strict form is required in order to execute the exercise correctly.
This exercise helps to improve shoulder and upper body strength, muscle mass, and stability of shoulder joints. It is important to use proper form and technique to avoid injury.
