Contextual development of upper body power by means of ballistic movement execution.

This exercise asks for greater lower and upper limb coordination. Back leg hip extension should transfer into an explosive shoulder press.

The athlete should re-assess his/her posture after each repetition, especially to what extent the shoulder is “open” to allow the weight of the barbell to travel into the ground. Additional assessment of scapular movement capacity could be considered.

Spinal integrity via conscious up-down orientation should be maintained during the motions.

Due to the obvious resemblance of this exercise with movements such as punching or throwing, the inherent primal expression of aggression can be considered when practicing this motion.
