Leg Strength and Power Development: Overhead Power Press

In this video we can see Joe and Jason (cricketers) demonstrating some power presses. This exercise maintains an emphasis on leg drive/power development, a physiological requirement for sprinting and creating momentum throughout a bat swing. The aim is a forceful push through the heels and rapid triple extension of the lower extremities (i.e. ankles, knees, hips). This process will develop momentum towards the upper body, simplifying the overhead shoulder press.
