As a trainer, I’ve witnessed some amazing things in the gym, most of which involved 300-pound powerlifters moving weight equal to that of a small SUV. (There was also the adult-film star I trained who had an orgasm every time she did hanging leg raises, but that’s another story.)

Great, but challenging workout. If your beginning modify the workout by decreasing the reps and progressively work up to the desired reps. This is sure to get you looking great and feeling great!

Great exercise for shoulder, core, hip.
Bend knees slightly and allow a small amount of rotation during the loading phase and slightly rotate as you press the weight upward and forward. Incorporate the LE, hips and core not just the shoulder.
Get Strong! Stay Strong!
