@gottfriedosterbach39079 жыл бұрын
***** I don't think that is that rare. Overhead pressing well takes very good technique and no matter how strong most start with just the bar until form is down. So, most start with a higher seated military press than overhead press so don't feel strange.

This is fantastic, I had an immediately better OH press session just because I moved my body around the bar and sunk my hips. Something I picked up on while training is that to get the bar to move straight up and not push it back behind you, think about pushing the top parts of your fists to the ceiling. It helps keep the bar over the midline and get a better push

This video is amazing! I've watched a handful of videos on the OHP (Omar Isuf, Buff Dudes, Strengthcamp, Stronglifts and Flexforall2) but not one has given me the thumb-shoulder placement and explained about resting on my lats! I've done 1000+ OHPs since I started lifting in January and I've never felt it lock in so perfectly. I also liked the initial view, since I don't think I've been driving it back far enough (like bench press) once I clear my head.

@BUFFALO_cougar_slayer6 жыл бұрын
Excellent tutorial. Two things: 1) it’s possible to wrap the thumb around the bar and keep a straight wrist. It’ll feel awkward at first, but it can be done with practice. I honestly don’t think the thumbless grip is a safety hazard because anyone who’s used it knows the bar isn’t going anywhere, but the thumb around is still superior because it allows a more secure “bulldog” grip to get more torque from the elbow to the wrist. 2) a slight dip at the knees to absorb the impact at the bottom can help substantially with heavier weights, but be sure to pause the bar on the chest and reset before pressing again. Don’t bounce or spring out of this knee movement and turn the strict press into a weak push press.
