5 Overhead Press Mistakes to Avoid!

[@OmarIsuf]

VERY solid advice dudes. Just really discovered your channel, watched a few videos and definitely enjoyed the content. Great editing, presentation and I am loving those retro 80s references. Keep it up

[@mabdul8202]

Both you and buffdudes content are really helpful and funny 👏👌 keep it up :)

[@TheAceward]

OMAR! haha nice. Yea its a great channel, I enjoy this and your channel the most.

[@OmarIsuf]

TheAceward much respect

[@Knieghtz]

What up Omar!

"Squish your little buff dude brain" I can't handle this xD

[@silvajoao142]

i love this on so many levels

[@dejo095]

3:20 "it's gonna squish your little buff dude brain" lol

[@gbin21]

I love the screaming-sound effects in your videos ;)

[@cxa011500]

Another common mistake: Not changing shirts between every set. :P

[@Ojthemighty]

Its the source of his power. Mine is my garish iron fist shorts.

[@Frances3654]

I always feel it in my abs when I overhead press, my bro told me I was crazy saying overhead press doesn't work out your abs, but I'm right!

[@Deconus]

Old video, so you will probably not see this, but still want to say it. My lower back was hurting more and more since I started the Grayskull LP. Then I watched this video and I realised how much I wasn't doing this exercise right. Especially the "arc behind to lift heavier" part. I corrected the form, droped the weight a lot (pride is easier to fix than vertebraes) and felt no pain the last session. I don't know what is my long term goal, but at least I have a chance to reach it without major injury. So thank you, Buff Dudes! (french speaker, so sorry for any spelling mistakes, grammar, yada yada yada...)

[@garudateams]

"Its gonna squish your little Buff Dude Brain..." Trade mark right there.

[@m.g.h.4727]

Love you guys. What about common mistakes with resistance/ weights?

[@Jason-xi2ij]

what the hell is that screaming sound at 1:54 ?

[@Billybob5766]

its probably from left for dead 2 lmao

[@HeLLRAiSER93ZZ]

LMAO they use it for sound effects usually with their cartoons but this was placed randomly

[@jordan2cut]

[@theocean1973]

Weird hilarious stuff like that is the reason I love this channel 😂😂😂

[@gfdgdsa4069]

This really helped me out guys. Thanks alot. So procrastinating for years (blaming no gym access) but you can always find something to rig up and do this. Feels great to get those wimpy unused muscles up and running!

[@aaamos16]

Appreciate the in depth analysis of the exercise. So many personal questions answered. Thanks!

[@ajwall3]

Over arching my lower back is my main nemesis with OP. I'm in month 3 of Stronglifts 5x5 and this is my least favorite lift.. Okay, I almost hate it. I really appreciate the informative tips and explanation of the mechanics of the lift. These guys know their stuff!! I love these videos. Thanks so much from this dudette ;)

[@Paintballed154]

Do a video on strengthening/rehabilitating knees

[@ash88glos]

6. Hand placement. Great video dudes

[@sanjean82]

I knew I didn't have that proper form. That was very helpful! Thank you!

[@Jeeeezy8193]

One mistake not shown up, which I have noticed by watching though ist to not hold the bar to wide. Watching you dudes explain helped out allot. thanks

[@SkeetersCousin]

Damn it’s insane to see how far you guys have progressed physically and video wise over the years.

[@HerodTheGreatBloodyMaster]

This is the last of the four major lifts i have yet to master. Props Buff Dudes, be a more than just a dude, be a buff dude.

[@SnipesUnlimited]

Maybe a video about some hamstring exercises,I only know about rdls and leg extensions so I would appreciate some new exercises for hamstrings

[@pelatho]

WTF is these sound effects! HAHAHA XD 1:50 dude wtf :D

You hear the sound at 1:55, though.

[@youtubersdoingstuff4674]

Hey dude. Your videos are transforming my life. Between your videos and my friends help I look completely different. I have lost 3 stone AND started putting it back on again. Thank you so much :)

[@billydagenham]

The shortest distance between two points is a straight line, only in flat space, so how do I do this exercise in curved space??

[@rambo2punt0]

+kush team bro don't judge, you don't know his life.

[@Jeff97Aeris]

The quality and editing and features of all ur dudes' videos I top notch. Nice work guys

[@TheOnnimanne]

How about your thoughts about intermittent fasting and maybe also guide for the beginners? great video btw, I am going to use these tips next time when I exercise my shoulders. Greetings from Finland

[@AvengedSol]

I would like to see a video on Barbell Row mistakes. Can't seem to get the form right -_-

[@Delgado26]

Freaking great advice! I hate watching ppl making these mistakes in the gym, especially not doing full range of motion... KEEPITUP!

[@TheMightyWumbo]

thank god i found this had trouble today doing this

[@GUILLOTE1235]

great teachings for lost begginers like me!greetings from Argentina to the double dragon dudes!

I love your what not to do series... very helpful for a novice such as myself =)

[@Smas-ds6pd]

Amazing channel. Always to the point with plenty of great humor thrown in. Stay BUFF....YEEEEAAAHHHH!!!

[@SinerAthin]

Is there one thing I've learned about shoulder exercises, then that is to never push yourself too hard with too much weight. Unlike your chest, your shoulders are extremely fucking delicate, so treat them like you would your girl!

[@nickarry]

these guys just need a beach and a surfboard to complete the buff surfer stereotype lol. great vid!

[@silfver8744]

I did wrong on this exercise and had a lower back injury, ty so much for showing us how to do it properly

[@idangozlan2420]

Great information not only for this exercise but to all of them. Good job and thank you !

[@danferguson9830]

I love these videos. Thanks, dudes!

[@franklinfitzgerald1060]

thanks for the great advice. I've had two shoulder surgeries and this will definitely help me.

[@JohnnyRay920]

Enjoying your videos, dudes. I noticed a couple of times though, that some things you call mistakes to avoid are actually considered proper technique for weighlifters. For example, using your legs to pop the weight up into position on the overhead press. Another is using an alternating grip on the deadlift. Also, arching your back almost to the point of lifting your butt off of the bench during the benchpress. I realize that your goals are different than a weightlifter, so it really just depends on what someone is trying to achieve.

[@elmarioto]

Have you guys done any videos dealing with warm ups and stretching or cool downs? I've watched some of your videos, especially the routine one, and all I see is you guys jumping in and going at it. By the way you guys are awesome and keep up the good work.

[@SMILES1129]

I just found you guys. This is great advice I've never lifted weights so I'll need all the help I can get:)

[@eukleidesk6759]

Buff Dudes, please do a video on the power clean. Thanks for all the great content.

[@Brownstone2004]

Solid advice thanks. Started weightlifting again, will apply these instructions when performing the overhead press.

[@GForceIntel]

I'm so glad is subscribed to you you dudes. Everyone shows amazing videos of their bodies and how long it took them to get there but you dudes are a lot more into your audience and teaching them what is the right way to perform every major exercise that could cause great injury if performed wrong. Thank you guys.

[@Goldberg43]

Nice to hear you guys talking about skulls being crushed thanks to the bar, while you are using THE suicide grip, hope the bar doesnt rolls on your head Buff Dudes

[@sahilsukhija6354]

wow.. great. You have mentioned very technical and important mistakes.Thank you Sir.

[@MrLavenderMenace]

Fantastic video, guys! I now know how to do this properly and will attempt my first overhead press tomorrow morning, thanks to your great instructions.

[@月下旬以来已日上午时]

I like the 5 big mistakes video you do it. keep it up and we want more for biceps and triceps and back and legs etc.

[@Moosuhh]

This was so helpful. I was making 3 of 5 mistakes on here. Thank you so much

[@GoldenSunKraden]

Feet placement : shoulder width apart in with toes pointing forward more stabilization. Try to flex your core like someone is about to hit you there and imagine pushing the floor with your quads in order to straighten out your posture. When grabbing the bar, make sure everything's tight which is crucial throughout the lift to get the maximum power and to avoid injuries.

[@zedgrace2278]

Thanks for all these mini series you've been making dudes! And at 2:41 I hope that snap was edited in haha!

[@jztbear]

Do a video covering supplements for beginners

[@TheSupersoldier1234]

Supplements are a scam you don't need them just stick with clean food

[@TheSupersoldier1234]

Supplements are a beginners trap don't buy them you won't look like Arnold or any fitness model without Steroids

[@TheSupersoldier1234]

So you wan't to make him fat?

[@whitshade]

Thanks for doing this video. Very informative and valuable for avoiding injury. This was a great reminder about the improtance of form. Nice work.

[@FroztDrake]

i am doing mistake n1 a little bit with pushing the bar slightly forward and not straight up.(i think atleast, im not 100% sure) Thanks for the video dudes!

[@Prophecy6939]

this is very grt channel ever on youtube to learn how to left thank you guys keep it up

[@Fr4NCHILE]

Buffdudes I NEED YOUR HELP. Could you make a video specifically on how a student can keep its gains while not being able to exercise as often due to exams and other student duties. I have been training for almost 2 years and lately I have been really busy with my final exams and trying to get in to university. I'm also not living with my parents and I had to get a job during the weekends. My lifestyle and duties sometimes interfere with my passion for the gym and I feel that I am not getting as much as gains as I would if I wound not be so busy. It would be awesome from you if you can target topics such as; how to maximise muscle growth (I do full body workouts 3 times a week). Also how to prevent losing muscle when exam periods start. Thank you for your videos, they are funny and really informative. It's awesome to listen someone that shares own life experiences. Thank you.

[@lonnycartier.6203]

Mistake one has to be the most common mistake I see at my gym followed by dumbbell presses with too much weight. For mistake one I will get them to use a Olympic bar same as you are using with no weights. The bar alone is 40lbs -50lbs depending which one and get them use to lifting is a vertical formation.correctly. Great advices in this clip.. To the rest of the world, Buff on Buff Dudes and dudettes.

[@bjwalters8385]

Great video! I gotta say, I was guilty of leaning back a little and using my legs to help me with the last few reps. I'll definitely keep this video in mind the next time I work shoulders. Thanks Dudes!

[@richardswanson2354]

Always great advice thanks buff dudes

[@rodeorockr9]

Very good advice. Now I got some things to work on

[@2014andon]

My natural shoulder rotation + posture makes is easier to push the bar backwards rather than upwards, plus false grip pushes it even more back.

[@600goa]

Hey BUFF DUDES! can you please make a video on the mistakes for the lat pull down machine cause there are so many variations close grip, wide grip and underhand etc. I find this the most complicated exercise of all time...except deadlift. Thanks!

[@jdoggydog9812]

You put the tips in description boom I already liked and subscribed thanks man

[@SprungTV]

I think you guys typed the wrong exercise at the end of the video, it says deadlift while you are shoulder pressing. Anyway, some good tips!

[@buffdudes]

Ughhh…thanks for the heads up, Sprung! Yep, definitely a typo.

[@cesarpinto32]

I would love to watch a video of gym "manners" and how to handle with the dudes who think are instructors and start to "fix mistakes". GOOD VIDEOS BUFF DUDES!!! THANKS TO YOU MY WORKOUT IS GOING GREAT!!!!

[@ShaneTumminello]

I'm surprised you guys didn't mention grip. I don't know if there's such a thing as a right or wrong grip for the OHP but I prefer doing a false grip, just a little bit outside of shoulder width on the bar. I've always heard that's never good to go super wide.

[@monkeydude3987]

Thank you guys for sharing and uploading! I would call myself a beginner/slightly intermediate lifter and your videos are simple to follow and understand. I appreciate these tips on this particular lift and already see some ways to improve what I'm doing at the gym.

[@Pirustae]

Overarching the back mistake is something I worry most about when doing the overhead press. It's difficult to keep that spine straight and keep balance when pressing the bar over the head. When it's too hard I replace it with seated overhead press.

Thinking about adding this to my shoulder day, right now it's upright rows, side lateral raises, Arnold press and shrugs. Get rid of the Arnold press and do a overhead shoulder instead. I'm just getting back into lifting so getting up the motivation to even do it is the issue, lol. I'm a fat body right now, miss being strong. ( I was/ am doing seated arnold presses with dumbbells, I want to switch to a standing press with a barbell.)

What do you think you did wrong? Hopefully had full recovery.

[@voidcheque7019]

@@tommyfleur7649 Form is everything, I went to failure, and I shouldn't have on this exercise because my neck winced and took on some of the weight and I kinked something. Took about 2-3 weeks for recovery. Sucked
