Overhead Press

What would be the benifits and drawbacks of replacing the bench with the overhead press as the primary upper body lift? The overhead press recruits a greater amount of motor units than the bench, so wouldn’t it be a better contributor to general organism strength?

Are you talking about a jerk press, or a true overhead press? I don’t believe the standard overhead press not recruits more mu than the bench.
