Z-Press for Shoulder Development
- Do the Z-press for shoulder development, as it improves control, extension, and core stability.
- It encourages full range of motion and isometric contraction at the top, unlike traditional overhead presses.

- A stable core transfers energy efficiently, similar to a stiff object transferring force better than a flexible one.
