Alternative to overhead press

Training Q&A [Moderated]
1

Hi there,

I am…a man. Who has recently bought a house in the local area, and I’m building a home gym…to which I’ll be inviting a lot of the local adults…

Unfortunately the ceiling in the outhouse is too low to be able to do overhead press - would a seated press have the same sort of training stimulus? If not, what would you recommend as a suitable alternative to overhead press?

Many thanks

Congrats on the home gym! Yes, you can do seated press and when the weather is good, maybe you can also press outside. :slight_smile:

Hi, I was looking for alternatives to OHP for my wife. She says OHP hurts her elbows too much so wanted to swap exercises. I couldn’t find an alternative movement for this reason in the threads. Any recommendations?
