Unlike the shoulder press, the push press requires the upper arm to be parallel to the floor, similar to the position used in a front squat. The push press, different the shoulder press, uses the lower body and trunk dynamically to get the barbell overhead.
The muscles move with nerve impulses, not vice versa.
Learn to teach your brain, your body acts accordingly.
