What do you Overhead Lockout Walk?

Not a common question is it? What we normally hear is the testosterone enhanced question...What do you Bench?

Please don't misunderstand my statement against the bench press. It is a very good indicator of upper body strength and potentially strength endurance when applied appropriately. My biggest gripe with the bench press is that it is SEVERELY overused by our exercising populations.

Try increasing stabilizer strength as an alternative. Peform a 1-RM 1 arm press test using your kettlebell. Can you walk the length of a 100 yd. field while maintaining an overhead press of at least 80% of this 1-RM? Most populations can't because of the imbalance between the prime movers of the press and the weaker trunk stabilizers that provide the ability to walk with your max press overhead.

Give it a try and expand your true strength.
