Its a HodgeTwins reference and a joke. I fear I'll have to keep popping back to defend myself or I'm going to look like I'm being aggressive and I'm really not! The OP will understand the joke. Apologies to those that don't

The push press is the king of upper body push exercises IMHO.
1) It's full body,
2) It has an explosive/power component
3) It can be heavily loaded but still allows for scapulohumeral rhythm.
4) If you want mass, ask Pendlay about it.
If you're looking for something pull orientated, then there's a tonne of good choices. The main thing with pull exercises is to get higher volume - stuff like the lats and rhomboids respond well to reps. Anything from yates rows to chins to Kroc rows and everything in between. Get some variety in and get lots of work in.

How do you do the push press?
It's normally more than you can strict OHP and you use a dip and leg drive to start the bar moving. Then you finish the movement with a press (this is different from a jerk, where you do a second dip to lock out the arms and get the bar locked out overhead without pressing)
It has an element of timing to it, because if you mistime the dip and subsequent push, then it's not going up due to it being heavy enough that you can't strict press your way out of trouble.
