I have to watch the first 5 minutes again. No idea what Grant said. I couldn’t take my eyes off of his kittie❤️

Thanks for this Grant, I love the Press most out of all the movements but it’s getting stuck, these videos always give me something to take to the next training session and keep me motivated, bless you 💪

The hip thrust gets me. It makes me want to fall over backwards and it doesn’t seem like I get anything from it. My press has really stalled out at 110. Male, 6’, 195ish (I don’t have a scale)

[@carps_gym]

Yep!

[@rns7426]

For those of you stuck on the press. Don’t eat more, don’t train more, don’t drink a gallon of milk a day. Grow.a..Mustache. You will move past the sticking point.

[@thestrengthco]

this is the way

[@Kryptonite_V]

The squat mistakes video was gold, and this one is, too. I'm just worried about you, Grant. You keep hearing voices, and you even reply to them. Take care of your own health, Coach, and don't stress.

My problem is breathing. When the press gets heavy, I can't catch a big breath and hold it through five reps. I can usually only get two or three reps on one big breath. When I pause my reps to take a new breath, I am lucky to get one additional rep. Usually, I can't even do that... Any advice?

Is there any common reason your elbows hurt when you press? For me they get extremely irritated from about the last quarter of the movement getting overhead. If I cheat and don't lock out they're not bad, but as soon as go full lockout they're screaming again. It's not from squats either, I use a Marrs bar to squat.

Elbow braces.

@@thestrengthco SS is Trash. No NFL Strength Coach would EVER run that program.

Haha thanks for the vid, very useful info! For me personally the irritated tone of speaking was not needed

My press is stuck🥲

[@sleepteam]

Press more.

[@jerrythomas4457]

Do different shoulder movements. It’ll be ok

[@JordyLongMusic]

When my press was stuck and I had addressed “the first 3 questions” starting strength article, I had to do more of an intermediate press program which included more volume, heavy sets and back off sets. That got me to a Bodyweight press.
