[@ScottHermanFitness]

haha well as long as you watch the video and learn something too!!

[@CHEEDSICLE]

Sometimes when I overhead press, I'll end up push pressing the last few rep/s of the set. Helps you get a few more in. As long as you control the negative, I think it's a good addition to the exercise.

[@ScottHermanFitness]

I suggest you just lower the weight when you start having to bounce, and then drop the weight so you can grind out a few extra :)

[@SueRosalie]

no don't resort to push press, it's cheating because it's easier but you're losing the benefit and not training to get stronger

[@mayankbravo6012]

I dunno why people criticize his pronunciation as if it matters. Scott's providing us some amazing information and it would be wise to listen and give him some respect.

[@jonnies]

If you're completely spent and can't do another rep normally, but still want more burn, it's ok to use some momentum to get it up and then do a really slow eccentric back down to achieve max overload of the muscles.

[@ScottHermanFitness]

1. Handgrip - not too far nor narrow 2. Core control - take a breathe and hold 3. Push the barbell vertically - upper chests vs shoulders 4. Range of motion 5. Control the negative- eccentric portion 6. Push press vs Overhead press 7. Push press to break plateau

[@bodybuilder718]

As a powerlifter, this explanation is okay but some key factors are wrong. There is strength involved in this lift but it has technique to it as well. We call it the rebound, we present the chest to the sky which gives us an arch and we rebound that with the hips, not just bending your back and cause an injury. The cue is to have the spine neutral and flex the glutes and use the hips core and back as one and spring it up like a piston. Striaght up and down is great but once the weight gets really heavy you need to incorporate more techniques to get the weight up and keep you as safe as possible.

[@BossofBosses111]

You SHOULD NOT be "springing" anything for a strict overhead press. Your glutes, legs, hips and core SHOULD NOT MOVE.

[@abhaykumar352]

Scott your video is always informative and the best thing is that you doesn't complicate the things.

[@ScottHermanFitness]

I like to keep them simple and to the point. Easy to understand is good right :D

I just started working out for the first time ever (23 years old) and the OH press is so hard but I love it! Pretty skinny dude and I can only do the bar doing 5x5 for now but its good to know I'm not doing these mistakes. I think I could tighten more core more when I do these.

[@OlMoldy]

Cristian keep it up! even the bar was hard at first for me. Now i can do 135 easy!

[@OlMoldy]

Cristian also squeeze the hell out of your glutes the whole time. I'm surprised Scott didn't mention that.

[@Interphased]

Great video as always, Scott. It's amazing how many people don't do this workout correctly. A friend of mine does the push-press method of OH press. I told him that he shouldn't be using his legs at all throughout the movement and that they should be locked with the quads flexed. He replied "Why would I do that? It just makes the lift so much harder". Had to resist the urge to tickle his armpit so he'd drop the barbell on his thick skull.

[@ScottHermanFitness]

hahaha. All you can do is try to help him, if he wants to remain ignorant then that's his problem :) Did you explain to him that an OHP is SUPPOSED to be harder??

[@Interphased]

ScottHermanFitness I did, but in his mind he is building more muscle if he's lifting more weight. even if he's not doing the exercise properly and missing out on activating the key muscles OHP is invented for lol. He's just a classic meathead who wants to impress people by lifting weights he has no business lifting lol

"The word barbarian was used originally by the Greeks to refer to any non-Greek: Egyptians, Persians, Indians, Celts, Germans, Phoenicians, Etruscans, Macedonians, Carthaginians, Vikings, Goths - all of these became known as barbarians. The ancient Greek word βάρβαρος (bárbaros) meant “babbler.” To the Greek ear, someone who did not speak the Greek language babbled, producing the onomatopoeic sound “bar bar bar” which became bárbaros, and later barbaria in Latin."

[@michaeldaniels2278]

I lean back far enough to let the bar pass my chin and make sure that im pressing the bar in a straight vertical line. As for grip width, I think your forearms should be perpendicular to the barbell and elbows should be directly underneath the bar.

[@macleansmith5763]

If I'm not mistaken, the rep scheme you describe at the end of the video is actually regular pyramid style, starting with high reps/lower weight and working down to low reps/heavier weight. Reverse pyramid would be the opposite, performing your first set as heavy as possible for low reps, and then decreasing the weight while adding reps on the following sets.

[@ScottHermanFitness]

No it is reverse pyramid, trust me :)

[@rikard1979]

Good video Scott 👍

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Thanks Rikard!!

[@C4Media2008]

So good. I'm really glad you described the time for the negative. From my research as a PTrainer it's been said that too slow of a eccentric movement actually recruits too many cross bridges in the contraction which limits muscle fiber breakdown. Great video. I like to progress my overhead press into push press all in the same day, thoughts?

[@andyb7213]

Do to some sports injuries that happened when I was much younger (football hockey jujitsu) I have one shoulder that is slightly weaker and has less flexibility. What is the best way to bring up a weak muscle? I think many have this so a video would be cool.

[@boonb1]

awesome Scott I can't wait for the full body vs splits vid. it's gonna be gold I got a question could you brake down training programs like concurrent, linear, and periodization

[@ScottHermanFitness]

That would be a super long answer my friend...so I'll give you the short version. Concurrent training is doing strength & cardio together. There's a lot of debate around whether it will actually lead to muscle gain or not, but if you plan the volume you do of each properly (i.e don't overdo cardio), it can work great. Periodization is probably best for strength, and linear while also partially strength focused, is still going to help you get bigger too. Not saying that periodization won't, just that liner is probably more geared towards gaining muscle & strength, whereas periodization is mostly about strength.

Is there any difference in doing seated db shoulder press rather than overhead press? i have struggles bringing the barbell up to starting position when i do overhead press lol

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Seated is OK too, but it will generally be easier because you don't have to stablize your core as much. Did you see my VS video for DB Shoulder Press Vs BB Shoulder Press? kzbin.info/www/bejne/fqOalKebdpmYmNk

[@ernestmix]

I just did these today but I used a fixed barbell and I superset it with some shoulder upright rows. You really feel the burn right there!!

[@ImAboutToMakeANameForMyself]

can I add my ca keys to the bahbell for added weight so I can maximize the exa-size

[@frankrsto9090]

Great video as always, but I would like to comment on the part about the breathing, because KZbinrs usually just make a short tip about that. Taking in a lot of air is decent by itself, but you can actually benefit much more if you learn to breathe into your belly instead of just inflating your lungs. When properly mastered, this technique allows for much more stability in your core, which helps in any compound lift with free weights. When I first started training by breathing, I actually felt soreness in my abs the day after since they were working "from inside" for the first time.

[@ScottHermanFitness]

I know what you mean, and you are totally right. It's something powerlifters tend to practice a lot because if they can get their breathing right, it helps immensly with their lifts.

[@GeorgeKershawBMX]

Some great information here! I have a weird pain that occurs only on my right side when doing this exercise though and am wondering if you can help me find the cause to the problem. The pain is a muscular pair on the side of my delt/near my tricep. It only happens when I fully extend at the end of the press. No other exercises at all cause me this pain, purely just this exercise. Doing dumbbell press causes no pain at all, but I don't find it as fun of an exercise. I have tried foam rolling the area that the pain occurs prior to the exercise, but no luck. Any info on this would be greatly appreciated, thanks a lot!

[@ScottHermanFitness]

It's hard to say what it could be. You might have a pinched nerve somewhere, and it could just be tight muscles. Have you seen a sports therapist so they can dig around?

[@GeorgeKershawBMX]

ScottHermanFitness Thanks for the reply! Not yet, I was hoping that wouldn't be needed

[@oneummahhify]

[@Rushman666]

he also bolsters how strong his OHP is to mine, where I use full range of motion

[@ScottHermanFitness]

+David Rush its not full range of motion. He needs to bring it down! And thanks!!

[@theresiacanniff2447]

I have been doing the barbell OH press seated and I find that my back is really arching or maybe it just feels that way. I was watching to see if you'd show that as a mistake but I don't think you did. Either way, I took something away from this and I know I just need to keep my core tight - maybe my weights are too heavy and that's why I'm arching.

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Well I showed the back arching from a standing position. The same rules apply if you are sitting - make sure you keep a tight core, and do your best to keep your butt touching the bottom of the back pad.

[@cafeegameplay4453]

Hey Scott, I have anterior pelvic tilt, is it a good ideia for me to perform this exercise?

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Yes you should still be able to do it. If you do some mobility work as well, you might be able to fix that anterior tilt. Check this out - muscularstrength.com/article/Fix-your-posture-A-simple-yet-complicated-guide-to-spinal-health#

[@SunPwnzZ]

Thanks, tomorrow i am going to train chest/triceps/shoulder. This will help me. Do you take suggestions for videos ?

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Sounds good!! And yes I do! What did you have in mind?

[@SunPwnzZ]

Warm ups would be interesting(i find them important), also something for the rotator cuff(and/or pop-up sound during warm ups) and the hip rotator cuff maybe ? I have pop-up sound from the right ones , i know how to "fix it"(activate them) before workout but it is not long therm solution.

[@agreatgig]

just wondering if bringing the barbell overhead should cause external shoulder rotation injury? Greets from Mexico 😊

[@OneBritish13]

Regarding mistake number 6, wouldn't you say using good form in the majority of your reps, then using a slight push-press to force out some more repetitions, and slowly controlling the negative portion of the rep (as obviously this breaks down the most muscle fibres) would be a good way to break through a strength plateau/build even more muscle with force reps?

[@ScottHermanFitness]

No. If you get to the point where you're failing during an OHP, just lower the weight and do a drop set to push out some more reps. Otherwise you're basically cheating the movement :)

[@OneBritish13]

ScottHermanFitness ok thanks man, I'll keep that in mind :)

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Happy to help! Take in a breath before you start the movement, and tighten your core. Then exhale AFTER your have brought the bar back to your chest. Otherwise you will fold in half like an accordian.

Oh wow, I've been doing it wrong lol. I would Breathe in when i had the bar at my chest but breathe out when i had the bar at the top. Thanks a lot.

Is it advisable to use a split stance (one foot slightly back and heel up) to prevent you leaning back and putting pressure on your lower back? In Bodypump we are told to overhead press with a split stance, and that stance has definitely made the exercise a lot safer for me (as well as allowing me to press more weight - is this because a split stance actually creates both a natural lean back and a push spring?). So should I use the same stance for heavy low-rep OHPs? I've been doing it, but worry that it's somewhat unstable (I sometime lose balance) and is compromising my development.
