Jeff must have implemented microphones into our gym benches when they were manufactured because he always seems to know what we are struggling with

[@alexandrudinca3080]

I was literally doing ohp when i checked my notifications and saw this.

[@LinkerParker]

Just this morning i got extremely frustrated because i couldn't manage to progress my already ridiculously lightweight OHP, and i immediately thought "Later today i'll check if Jeff has done any helpful videos on the matter". I open KZbin 10 minutes ago and this is literally the very first video on the front page. Upon watching it, now i realize that i always got the bar path wrong and i was actually doing a standing bench press instead of a proper OHP. That's some next-level mind-reading shit

[@AB-py6jl]

[@ImJasonForever]

So freakishly true lol

[@ac2395]

From some other videos I think Jeff has some shoulder injury so can't press straight up himself. He doesn't put his head forward under the bar. He knows good form and how to teach it, just can't demonstrate it himself. Plus might as well use Jesse :P

Another thing to note for lack of mobility is the tightness of the lats. Something that really helps me is stretching the lats prior to pressing overhead.

[@was73]

Hey Jeff. I'm from South Africa..not that it matters but you're all the way in the US giving us great content and I've been watching your videos for years now. It's helped me improve my workouts and techniques and I'm so grateful for that. But I have an issue when performing (tricep) dips and wish you could cover that in a video one day. The little bump on the inside of my elbow pains and it feels as if a tendon keeps popping over that bone with each rep that I do. This is only happening on my left arm. The right elbow is perfectly fine.

I feel like they help my entire upper middle back and traps . The dumbbells hit the rear-delts harder than the barbell overhead press . I do both dumbbells/barbells standing overhead press with a closer-grip. Just pure badass lifts. They complements my bodyweight pull-ups/chin-ups very well.

if go back some years in this vid blog series, you will find that jesse had a shoulder injury. and whats wrong with 11+11+10 = 32 kg? i mean for a "standard" person, who arrives from a state where he barely could press 5?

[@nunninkav]

Jeff, I have old shoulders, so I OHP with a narrow grip and the bar tracks out in front. It makes it a triceps dominant move, but is much easier on the old shoulders. I do a bit of a thruster, then let the triceps do a heavy negative. It's not always a shoulder exercise.

5 months out from rotator cuff surgery - supraspinatus reattachment and repair. Lots of PT but the last bit of overhead range of motion still eludes me.

[@jobicek]

What you show as bar path is in fact not bar path at all, it's angle of the arm (0:48). It's unclear whether you're saying that the actual path the bar takes must be straight as well, or just that your arms must go straight up at the end and not forward. You also say only the head moves forward and not body (5:12). It's clear the bar starts in front of your shoulders. If it ends up above them, then either the path is not straight up, or your shoulders must move forward (not necessarily by themselves). I think you can see that chest moves. Although the shirt and occasional lack of focus make it harder to see. I do think that as you push your chest out/ rotate it up/ arch your back (thoracic extension), you effectively pull shoulders back, making room for your folded arms and the bar (without moving shoulder blades). And as your arms extend, you move your chest forward again to compensate for extension of your arms. Otherwise, you end up with arms extended forward (exactly what the wrong case shows - arched back, arms forward). Because the bar was initially in front of your shoulders. You either have to pull the bar back above your shoulders (making some sort of an arc, which is going to be less efficient), or move your shoulders underneath the bar. But how exactly do those shoulders move forward? Do you relax thoracic extension? That would mean bending spine under load which is generally avoided and you could run out of range of motion. Or do you maintain that extension and instead rotate the whole upper body (hinge)?
