Pressing parallel

I was just thimking about how many ways there are to press a weight

You can press it overhead from a standing position.

You can bench press it.

You can do a machine press sitting down.

In fact, you can even press parallel sitting down on a machine.

However, when you are on a machine it’s doing the stabiliaztion and balance for you.

Can you get strong using machines?

Of course you can!

The bad part is you give up a lot just to move more weight.

So here’s a way to press parallel to the floor without giving up working on your vital stabilization and balance while you are building strength.

Try this one. A picture is worth a thousand words!
