I just started in the gym this year when my youngest started kindergarten. I have been trying for weeks to improve my press. I know it is a form issue more than a strength issue. I really struggle with this move but I do keep trying. I can do a light weight but I can't do a 45lb bar 😢 for more than four reps. Visually I don't get this exercise because I am almost totally blind. Have been visually impaired my whole life. I am 46 years old, 5'3 and 125 lb. 2 years ago I was 5'3 and 175 lb. Weightlifting definitely has changed my life and I love it. Thanks to you and You Tube. As an aging adult I love technology but I'm also terrified by it at the same time. I can't imagine self-driving cars even though I would love one being visually impaired, and I can't imagine going somewhere and not knowing if I was engaging with a person or a robot. But my children who are 16 10 and 5 totally love and engage with artificial intelligence and technology.

Thanks for this video. I have never seen the fingerprints into the bar setup. I will give it a try. Currently doing the Baker Power Building Program

[@GreySteel]

You can't go wrong with Andy's programming.

What a simple, clear actually useful video. Brilliant. I learned a lot, and LOVE how you jump straight to the point without bullshiting in introductions for a few minutes. This is a great series. Please continue making such informative videps

2021 is going to be the year of fixing my press, thank you!

[@sandylada637]

I did all five of these errors while training on Monday!

[@GreySteel]

This is not true. I was there.

[@efisgpr]

5 negatives make a positive. 😁

[@lngleg]

Thank you for posting this and your insight. Stay safe out there

[@leroymorris6036]

Didn't know about that grip, thanks

[@JBravoRebel]

Beautiful, great! Thank you!

[@joethebar1]

I have a tweaked rotator cuff that I train around; this exercise is perfect for my situation but some shoulder exercises I can’t do. I can go heavy on these

[@randymitchell2071]

Thanks Dr. Sully. Love the tee shirt!

[@GreySteel]

You bet!

[@jeffreyabelson7171]

Your videos have become my go to before a workout - THANKS!

[@GladysAmelia]

Never tried this grip, but I'll use it next workout.

[@JaltonTaguibao]

Thank you for this, Dr. Sully. :)

[@GreySteel]

You are most welcome!

[@garyfagan6431]

Thank you for your videos. I have purchased your book and am currently studying it.

[@gavinholt5428]

Hi just gave your overhead press a try. Found it easy to do. Haven't seen the hip flex in other overhead presses and find this extremely helpful. Thanks.

[@efisgpr]

"It's not supposed to be harder than it's supposed to be." That's some Yogi Berra-level wit!!!

[@jeffreybabino8161]

I have your book the barbell prescription great book I am will be turning 60 in Nov 21

[@carlranger8060]

Hi Sulley, newbie here. Do you recommend pulldowns to complement the o/h press? Or curls, leg extensions? I know that these (excluding curl) are generally machine based exercises but I feel that they have a place in a well rounded resistance training programme

[@elcid4593]

Great video

[@walterhasegawajr]

Public utility !!❤

[@jeffreybabino8161]

Hi silly great video thanks for your time and help 🏋️

[@GreySteel]

No problem 👍 Making "silly great videos" is what I'm all about. :)

The dude at :30 should be on the cover of a magazine, or a book or something!

[@jetjames420]

you could say I'm cheating or you could say I'm using the most muscle to move the most weight possible

[@richardmiller257]

I am surprised and arched lower back wasn't highlighted as an error

[@joeprete7424]

Uh oh, I only have dumb bells!

[@JoelP1961]

It helps if I review this from time to time.

[@GreySteel]

We're here to help. Thanks.

[@elcid4593]

Can you bench with that grip?

[@GreySteel]

Same grip, just wider.

[@aldelacruz5526]

Why not put the "killer" first??

[@davidpenfold]

Ok, I deleted a couple of posts about my odd neck muscles. It appears to be the posterior scalene which I must have grown with bad form as a teenager many moons ago.

[@GreySteel]

That is a BIG scalene...

[@davidpenfold]

@@GreySteel still, at least it's symmetrical 😁

[@haczabim]

10:37 I believe that that is a Karl Marx quote

[@09thespecialone]

Not a strict press.

[@GreySteel]

That's right. We don't do strict presses in this system of training.

[@frankchen4229]

aren't you from barbell logic?

[@GreySteel]

I'm from Arizona. I occasionally work with Barbell Logic.
