    Thanks for the great video! One thing that I have found has really helped my press is to make sure you grip the bar really really hard. As someone told me - "like it owes you money!" is a cue that works for me.

    @travisireland7276 2 года назад +8

    I think I may be getting the hang of the press. As my hips were rebounding and I was driving the bar up and my head forward, the bar felt much lighter than usual. This was on my third rep of the fourth set, toward the end when I was tired. Now I'm quite excited to keep practicing the press to see if I really can learn the proper technique. I'm pretty happy that I got the book, and that these videos serve as an adequate refresher.

    @hankscorpio6111 2 года назад +2

    This was one of my favorite lifts only I was doing them seated. Doing it seated I would look up as I did the lift and brought the bar down to my chin. The reason is it forces your back straight and in my eyes you should control the speed of the weight coming down. I would generally do 6 sets 3 of which were at 275 lbs. I would also grip the bar wider then what this guy does. If you keep good form in mind you are very unlikely to hurt yourself. I did this for a very long time w/o injury. I maxed out one day at 315 for 2 reps.. but I was feeling very strong that day and I did that on I think it was the 12th set.. "normal lifts then 2 reps as the weight went up per set above the 6th"..

    Ok, got it.
    Visualise the lifter as a bow (as in bow and arrow 🏹)
    Driving the hips forward is like someone pulling the string on the bow . Once the string is let go it will naturally return back to its starting position. The arrow will fire through the abs and out the spine at the same time you press the weight up. Takes a minute to wrap your mind around it.

    Consider: not locking out, letting the bar touch the upperpart of the chest, because now you're stretching the muscles, increase the distance from the starting of the movement to the end of the movement, and squat press: Squatting helps in cheating, forced reps, for the last reps, because you want to go to failure

    In my limited experience, I have found that this movement is not very forgiving (I can see others have had this too) - neck/upper back can hurt if the form breaks down a little in the last rep. I guess my advice is to be conservative on this one during the early stages of progressive overload.

    Should you start shrugging the moment you push ? Or are you supposed to push , then once the bar is up , that’s the point when you shrug ?
    My uneducated brain is telling it would be better to do pushing and shrugging at same time , or at least gradually bring in the shrug from the start so it’s more natural flow instead of it being blocky . But I don’t know what I’m talking bout 🙂

    • @arch0049
      @arch0049 2 года назад +2

      Out of all their videos this is the only one I slightly disagree with. I believe you should start with the bar already touching your chest, then no bounce. I have a video on my profile of me overhead pressing 225LBSx2 with no bounce. It is not a tutorial. But it may help you visualize. I find the bounce especially difficult to do without bending my knees, thus it not being a true strict press. I also find it difficult on the shoulders. Overtime I found the bounce was completely unnecessary when you can start with the bar directly on your chest. At first you may plateau or go down in weight. But after a few weeks you should get some gains and your shoulders will thank you. Like I said, check mine out if you want. Good luck.

  • @ethanmaxfield4709
    @ethanmaxfield4709 3 года назад

    Am I squeezing my glutes before pushing hips forward or only quads? I push my hips forward but there's no reflex to push me back to initiate the press. It feels like I can just hangout in that "hips forward" position all day. Help, tips? Thanks!

    • @benjaminzaoui9683
      @benjaminzaoui9683 3 года назад

      Sure, just like the video said squeeze the quads to really lock out the knees and eliminate any knee flexion (it helps to point toes out at an angle as opposed to having feet parallel pointing forward which, facilitates bending of the knee.) This coupled with engaging the core, also as per the video will cause tension across the hip joints. So when you push your hips forward they should pop back to your starting position. Practice shooting JUST your hips forward as Chase does in the video for reps with no bar, then add the bar, and then add weight. It's minor, but when you push the hips forward the bar will drop a bit, and bounce back up as the hips move back again. Harness this bouncing affect to help initiate the drive out of the bottom and create momentum. As RIP says, the overhead press is the most technically challenging of the lifts as if any little movement is off then you will miss the lift.

    70% of people at my gym, including trainers, have one foot in front of the other while pressing. Anyone know why ?? I based my stance on stability and strongman stance. Foot placement in this video reinforce what I already do.

    If you don't have a good front rack, like this guy, you're giving away pounds

    So don’t bend your knees just a little bit so you can lock out and use glutes. Just bounce hips to activate glutes, no knees?

    Why is he not touching his chest with the bar? Starting strength used to show chest touch.

      Quoting the book: "Some people have long forearms relative to the length of their upper arms, and this anthropometry makes getting the bar on the deltoids impossible with the elbows in the correct position and a narrow grip. Sitting on the delts is the ideal position for the bar, but the movement can be done from a less-than-perfect position without any real problem."

    I thought that you didn't shrug at the top to protect the shoulder?

      It's actually better for your shoulders if you shrug. It's still difficult to impinge on an OHP comparred to a bench, but when you shrug, your shoulder blades rotate up and free up that space (can't remember the names of the shoulder socket ligaments on the top of my head).
      It's probably not a big deal if you don't do this. Some people never have. Personally I do.

      @Franz Klein I think he meant a purposeful shrug near the top. You physically can't raise your arms to lockout without your scapula rotating, but shrugging your traps at the top is like trying to touch the sky. It's an exaggerated movement.
