- The single-arm Z press targets the shoulders, triceps, and upper chest, while also increas­ing the stability demand of all muscles connecting to the pelvis. To perform the exercise, maintain a strong tall torso position as you brace your core before pressing the weight. Press the barbell overhead until your right arm is fully locked out in line with the shoulder. Maintain the body position and slowly lower the barbell back down to the starting position.

- Step-ups are overlooked and underused in the world of athletic performance. However, you can receive tremendous benefits in lower-body strength and single-leg stability when performing them. This exercise will help you improve single-leg strength and stability, in addition to developing a high level of balance.

Position a sturdy box directly in front of both feet. The box should be high enough to challenge you, but not so high that you lose proper technique and form. For a general reference, use a box height between 12 and 24 inches. Hold a pair of dumbbells in both hands and step up on the sturdy body with your right foot so that the entire surface of the right foot is flat. Driving your right foot directly down into the box, stand up tall on to the box with your left foot as well. Now drive the right foot directly down into the box as your left foot lowers back down to the floor behind you. Keep the emphasis on the right leg doing all the work. That’s important since we want only the working leg performing the work.
