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:
🌟hands should be about thumbs distance outside the shoulders on the bar.
🌟Elbows should be slightly in front of the bar (I see this mistake a lot). Forearms should line up with the desired bar path.
🌟FULL BODY BRACED: Feet grip the floor, engage the glutes, brace the core
FOR THE PRESS:
🌟Move the head out of the way as much as you need but as little as you can
🌟Drive up and back at the forearm angle
🌟Pull the body through the arms at the top aligning bar with the heels.
🌟STAY BRACED
Put it in reverse. Move the head back slightly, being elbows down and slightly in front of bar.
Do it again!
