The overhead press can be a tough one to perfect.
The most common issues I see are:
– Elbows behind the bar
– Extending upper/lower back
– Lack of core stability/focus
– Not pulling through at the top
For The start position:
đhands should be about thumbs distance outside the shoulders on the bar.
đElbows should be slightly in front of the bar (I see this mistake a lot). Forearms should line up with the desired bar path.
đFULL BODY BRACED: Feet grip the floor, engage the glutes, brace the core
FOR THE PRESS:
đMove the head out of the way as much as you need but as little as you can
đDrive up and back at the forearm angle
đPull the body through the arms at the top aligning bar with the heels.
đSTAY BRACED
Put it in reverse. Move the head back slightly, being elbows down and slightly in front of bar.
Do it again!
