Using A Single Arm Shoulder Press To Improve Core Strength

This is another exercise that incorporates the weight shifting skill and strength to effectively integrate the lower body and upper body together. The shoulder press is definitely one of the most difficult upper body strength exercises for many people to get right and the exercises shown here show you some of the ways to use the strength in the legs to assist the weaker shoulder muscles with the overhead action.
Most people think their upper traps are very strong as they are often quite tight. When in reality they are very weak, even though they may in fact feel tight. Finding ways to strengthen this area of the body without causing pain and injury to the neck or shoulder can be quite tricky so using exercises like this can help to avoid that. This is not an exercise I would begin with if I had severe weakness or pain but something I would use towards the end of the rehab program to learn how to integrate overhead movements into functional tasks.
The first exercise is relatively easy but the second one does require good coordination and basic strength. The best part about the second exercise is how it demands the additional use of the core and the legs to assist the movement.

The shoulder press can be really difficult for many people to develop strength with. Using exercises that leverage the strength of the legs to help the weaker shoulders is a great way to get stronger with the overhead action. For many years I have used exercises like this for that very reason.

Loving the weight shifting videos, great content.

I have no problem doing a one arm landmine shoulder press. but when i do an overhead press or push press my upper traps and upper back get very crunchy and stiff, no pain, just seems i lack good mobility in that region

Without assessing you to be sure it sounds like your issue may be more to do with thoracic mobility in providing enough extension to handle vertical overhead movement. The landmine is on a slight angle overhead so it does not demand the same degree of extension. In addition to this it could also be something to do with poor scapula position where it is in a slight anterior tilt as opposed to the more structurally intact posterior tilt. These two dysfunctions are very common with many people and I regularly use a combination of stabilization and mobility exercises to correct it.
