"rest your triceps on your lats" *looks at a barren rib cage* oh..

You did not say how I should train at the end of the video. Do I train tamed or untamed? Please advise.

Anyone notice when he puts the barbell onto his shoulders his beard covers it and makes it look like he's back squatting 1:45

Squeeze the butt... so important in so many strength moves.

Thanks, I'm glad it was helpful

Thank you for this video, it has helped me tremendously today. I was struggling ohp 95lbs. Long story short, I was doing it all wrong. No more back pain and finished my 5x5 last set at 140lbs tonight. Thanks for all your time and effort to help people like me do lifts correctly. Take care

The music makes me feel like watching BBQ tips.

I can totally say you are the best weightlifting tutorial video maker on youtube !

When ever I am looking to learn a new movement I always check to see if you have made a tutorial yet. Love your clean, clear, concise delivery and filming style. Much appreciated brother. I wish you all the best.

Somehow the music really works for me on this video.

The background music in this video is great. 10/10.

I love the way you explain the workouts. It's so easy to understand, you get straight to the points of the right and wrong ways. Other trainers talk way too much and only show you once and then don't highlight the most common mistakes and give corrections that are easily understood. These videos help me so much with my workouts. Thanks!

I loved this with the "flight attendant"-like motion instructions and the music in the background.

So, having learnt how to bench, squat, and deadlift entirely from your videos, I come to this. My next challenge! I just wanted to say how fantastically useful these videos are, and how well you explain everything. Thanks man!

might be best overhead press tutorial on youtube. Please don't stop making videos. i am now subscribed.

1:45 Not sure if bar is in front of chest or behind neck #Beard

A real blast from the past Alan. Timeless, concise advice. Covered all the bases. I'll close...TRAIN UNTAMED!

The most under-rated fitness channel on KZfaq. This guy knows his stuff.

I LOVE HOW THE BAR GOES AROUND UR BEARD

six-year-old video that has been improving lives everyday! Thank you!

Seen a bunch of videos on this but this right here is what trained me to do OHP with zero lower back pain. It has become one of my favourite exercises :)

Instantly went from 55kg to 65kg using this. Also oddly felt like I had more energy for each rep during sets. Using the lats as a starting point each time definely conserves energy and I dont feel as weak at the start of each rep. Awesome videos.

The beard stole the show on this one.

Love the music💪🏼

Love always rewatching your videos before i do my routine. It allows me to work out kinks and avoid any mistakes that can cause injury.

This OHP tutorial is concise and on point! Best OHP vid so far for me...

I would pay him as a trainer to watch my forms....no trainers in my gym probably know about 5 by 5

I find myself going back to these kind of videos just to keep myself in check . Thank you Alan for these videos.

I only recently discovered this gem of a channel. For a beginner lifter like me, you are gold. Thank you from India, Alan 🙏🏼

you have the best instructional videos i've seen during my 12 years of watching them on youtube. You've helped me alot with deadlift and squat and now even shoulder press! keep doing these videos man they are great! :)

had a bronchitis and couldnt train for 3 months up until june. watched this video today and pressed my old PR (only 165lbs but still) again today. Thank you very much for this video. i feel very happy :)

I was overhead pressing 135lbs at my gym and people were like wtf, some people are really clueless about workouts even trainers.. Alan, you're the man! love your videos! keep up the good work! cheers from mexico!

damn, your one of the few people that actually talk about how to grip the damn bar. thanks a lot man!

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

I know this is a old video by now but just started watching your stuff and I wanted to say thanks. Been having trouble with my lower back and through various KZfaq videos and youtubers you guys have slowly removed my bad habits.

Excellent. This is the Military press. Best training video on this exercise.

I feel my game has stepped up watching these videos.. well done, thank you for your contribution

Hi Alan! That shoulder dislocate movement is just what I needed to help my shoulder mobility. I think it will also help my snatch, tyvm. Btw, love your videos, the way you explain every single detail from these lifts is a clear indicator of deep theorical knowledge and a ton of experience doing them, is such a good insight.

I have watched alot of fittness channels. you are the best of them all. you explain everything nicely

I'm started getting into the gym again with a 5*5. This is godsent. Thankyou mate

Resting triceps on lats is the cue I've needed for a very long time. Thank you!

Seen a lot of OHP tutorials today and this is by far the best. Thanks Alan!

GREAT VIDEO...!!! THANKS

Alan, you are simply the best. Very clean, geometric and scientifc tutorials. Tanks a lot!

I'm about 6 weeks into LP -- and this was super helpful. Thanks!

Cheers for the great advice Alan. I was going to try some OHP today but after watching the whole video I realised that my shoulder mobility is so bad that I need to work on that first. You are a top bloke.

You're the man Alan. By far the best weightlifting tutorials online. Many thanks.

you are amazing i got 2 slip disk and schmorl's nodes due to heavy lifting and poor techniques but by watching your techniques i am able to train and its been 3 months since i started weight training again after 9 months of pain. i watched your video "i hurt my back" where u told dont leave the gym just use proper techniques it helped a lot . salute to u mate you are awesome .THANKS FOR THE BEST ADVICE THAT CHANGED MY LIFE i still have disk problems but all those muscles helping it stay in place " PLEASE MAKE A VIDEO ABOUT DISK INJURY AND WHAT TO DO ..IT WILL BE APPRECIATED

best tutorial ive seen. ur a great teacher. subbed

excellent teaching, and I love the music.

i looked up how to ohp properly and i saw many different youtubers that i actually watch but for every powerlifting exercise i look up to alan thrall and the book of starting strength. you can not go wrong with this combo

I dig the sexy cowboy music.

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.

I had to watch this video again because I knew I was OHP'ing wrong. Last night, I followed what you said and it worked! I even felt it in my biceps, triceps and forearms!

I wish I'd watched this months ago. I had assumed a mild jolting pain to the lower back was just part of the movement... That glute cue changed everything.

Great vid...this is the only shoulder exercise for which I've made real gains.

this is great. I have had shoulder pain when doing any shoulder to overhead barbell movements. I'll keep these tips in mind.

Thanks for the tips. Particularly appreciate the remedial exercise suggestions. Also liked the soundtrack

Alan, thank you SO much for this video! I started the OH press recently. I realized something horribly wong when I hurt my nose. Yep, I brought it down right on my face. Your video solved my problem. The comprehensive demonstrations of how to do it wrong were especially helpful. The next time I saw my trainer, he said my press was looking a-ok, and I'm steadily increasing the weight.

This is amazing! I did not know their was an episode of Duck Dynasty in which they taught Overhead Pressing! LOL. Seriously now, this is a gold mine of information on getting Overhead Pressing form right! Words can only express my gratitude so much. Here is my best, THANK YOU!

When I do OHP only my right shoulder hurts. I have watched this video and identified three areas where I need to improve my form. Thank you for uploading this. Hopefully, form fixing will prevent the shoulder pain!

Best video on OH Pressing. Thank you a lot!

You're a really good teacher. Thanks for the video!

Step 1, grow a beard.

Excellent video! I have looked through almost all your instructional videos and they have really helped me fix my form on the big 3 and more. I was wondering if you could make a video on how to do a push-press?

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Your time and effort into these videos is an immense help to a newbie like me.

Yup, this is a great tutorial. Absolutely loved it. Simple, clear and informative.

Fantastic tutorial! I've always had problems with OHP, but I've made more progress in the last couple of weeks (after watching your video) than I did in the previous couple of months! Thanks a million!

Adjusted my form slightly using the information gained from this video, and it feels 100x more comfortable and stable. Thanks so much :D

Awesome video!love the country music hehe!

Damn Ive been doing this wrong, Sometimes id feel my lower back, I hope i didnt damage it. I will start doing it with your advise now. Thank you Alan Thrall, all your videos are helpful.

I like the casual music. good choice

THANK YOU! so much for this video. It has made all the difference in my shoulder training. And as I should have expected - my chest training because my shoulders are not feeling a little unstable. THANK YOU AGAIN!

From all of the instructional video's i've seen, you can explain it as clearly as posible, thanks dude!

A thorough and clear explanation. Thank you Allan

I have to say, you are amazing at teaching.

Doing this as a part of my 5x5 tomorrow. Cheers man, needed it.

This is the best form and 'how to' channel for lifting. Period. I've looked around. Don't waste your time, just queue up train untamed.

one of the best how to overheadpress

I lift light, in fact just starting out.. however my right shoulder pinched a little.. tried with wide, narrow grips.. nothing worked. . I watched yr video and viola, my arms don't go beyond my head.. I need to work there. yr video is miles ahead of others in teaching perfect form and avoiding bad form..

Thank you so much Alan! I have been lifting for a year now, and could'nt figure out why my back arched, even when I was aware of it, I tried not to, but it kept happening, I'm improving my shoulder mobility every day with your technique now, and Im starting to feel more and more progression!

Please demonstrate how to do this movement on the smith machine. Thanks!

I think I'm going to incorporate this into my shoulder routine...I just want to say thank you for all of your helpful videos. Because of your videos my squat and deadlift improved significantly. Thanks for the great tips and instruction!

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.

Alan, you know your stuff! One of the very best videos on this exercise. I always liked the overhead press, but used too wide of a grip for years.

Your tips helped me with some low back pai. It was the hips forward. Works!

wow- I can barely move the broomstick to 10 degrees past my head on the dislocators...just for that I'm glad I found this site. A digression, I thought I could never due back squats, but was just ignorant. If alls i do are squats and the press I'm probably good

man, cant thank u enought for this, i train for myself on a gym doesnt have a coach! iam improving a lot, keep the good work!!!

man ive realised you have the best form videos on youtube. cheers dude

OMFG, ALAN!!! Thank you for calling out the asshat who does over head press like he's hand pies to the second story window... and I use your videos as teaching aides. 😊😊 thanks for all of your knowledge!

Best lifting technique videos on youtube as always, thanks a lot mr Thrall!

You really do have a gift when it comes to explaining technique. Absolutely fantastic video. Santa Claus metal horns for you 🤘🎅🤘

Thanks so much, man. Been having lower back pain after sets of overhead press and didn't know what I was doing wrong. Just finished with them today keeping in mind what you taught in the video and it feels waaay better. Keep up the good work!

These tutorial videos are excellent. I’ve just started lifting and Im finding it pretty hard to know if my form is good or not. Watching these videos has helped me understand proper technique so much - thanks man!!! 😄😄

Incredible teacher.

Great video, highly informative and leaves me with no questions left to ask

Thanks Alan sir... learning lot from your videos . Great to have you on KZfaq as we can learn a right technique. Almighty give you everything you want. Love from India

thank you, i have had trouble with this position, now ive fixed it

thanks man always a solid takeaway i can start implementing immediately. even after training for a decade.

Sick video, engaging my glutes did wonders for my back after OHPs. Wish I saw this years ago.
