Stack your body and move the weight back over your center line. The bar will naturally drift away from your face as you begin to press but you must quickly try to get your body back underneath the weight. If the bar drifts too far forward, you're done.

I think the main main reason you have a sticking when the bar reaches eye level, is because that's actually the hardest part of the movement; in terms of overcoming leverages. The press has a bell type strength curve. It's not really the fault of the lifter. Appropriate assistance exercises would help train the movement i.e pin press at eye level, or press with bands.

I fixed that and not only has my OHP weight shot up, the pain is gone. 2 or 1!

Good video, curious if anyone has other thoughts on this. I have found as I progress my body naturally wants the bar to go further back (almost behind the neck). I am much stronger on pulling movements being tall with good leverage, so this leads me to believe the further back you go the more back muscles you will activate (I also have above average shoulder mobility). Behind the neck presses definitely activate the entire deltoid better, but there are a number of examples where this has lead to serious injury. Interested to hear other's opinions on going too far back. There are coaches that talk about how behind the neck presses used to be very common in the old days, but today with so many sitting desk jobs people's shoulders and back are simply not equipped to do it safely anymore.

I got the best shoulder gains when I stopped doing overhead pressing movements and started adding more weekly volume on the side laterals. Pressing overhead is mostly useless for bodybuilders. And don't get me started about shoulder health. You rarely reach that much overhead. I think that using elastic bands to train overhead is sufficient from a bodybuilding standpoint to have good shoulder health.

If you ever get to do one rep of 100kg (220 pounds) you’ll be stronger at the overhead press than 99% percent of people that you are ever likely to run into at the gym. But even a 70kg overhead press (155 pounds) is nothing to sneeze at.

Something I'm trying to fix with my OHP: on my very first rep, I tend to push the bar forward, but after that, all subsequent reps are in line. When the bar gets really heavy, I might miss the first rep entirely. In that case, I'll just reset and try again and usually I'm good for however many reps I'm programmed to do. I'm wondering if there's a cue I'm missing for me to get that first rep in line from the beginning.
@nevecieco26885 жыл бұрын
The press is the most Olympic of all the non-Olympic lifts. It is very form dependent. (Actually it used to be an Olympic lift). Think about keeping your elbows together (don't let the chicken wings out) and drive the bar towards your forehead. Also, since you are only failing the first rep, it sounds like a rebound issue. Because the press, like the deadlift, start from a contracted stop, you do not get any rebound effect on the first rep. You could create one by taking the bar out of the rack at mouth height and then dropping it to the rack right before the first rep. Or you could do the Rippetoe press where you jut your hips forward.
