Festivities and holiday season are in some ways a stressful time for people who are into muscle building, strength, fitness and general health. For others, it is a reason to start a fresh new period and actually start going to the gym and eating healthily.

The 5 Pillars of Total Strength Part 3: MILITARY PRESS
Why is the Military Shoulder Press a Pillar of Strength? Before everyone started caring about big chest muscles, the shoulder press was THE press. If you think about it, your shoulders are more useful as pushing muscles in life than your pectorals (chest). How often are you on your back needing to push something up (no, don’t make that dirty)?
