Trying something new isn’t just physical
 it’s mental training too. Better focus, coordination, and it pulls you out of your routine. You’re building new mind-muscle connections and the end results? More confidence, and better adaptability under pressure.

Go take that class!

Why? Well for one- Upper body stability: Catching a heavy bar overhead forces you to stabilize through shoulders, triceps, and upper back.

IMO balancing any overhead press with the bench press is helpful to keep a healthy scapulothoracic rhythm.

This means balancing that constant scapular retraction (keeping shoulder blades together) needed for the bench with having your shoulder blade naturally move upward with your arm as you reach overhead.

The end.

Side note (I guess it’s not the end đŸ€Ł):
After some cycles of heavy lifting I like do things that challenge me in a different way, or learn new things like Olympic lifts. Makes me feel athletic instead of my usual sloth like vibe.

The. End.

If you don’t know how to do the big 3 lifts, it may be worthwhile to invest in a session to go over them and learn the technique.

If consistency is difficult a class may be a good option to help keep you accountable.
