I’m pretty sure my OHP form is dogshit but I have absolutely no idea how to fix it
>>77104577Squeeze your ass, tighten your abs but dont crunch them, just flex them while standing upright. Position your hands on the bar to where your arm barely rotates outside of your shoulder width, face and look forward, keep your legs togetherArching is not bad if you have the flexibility for it, but if you feel pain from arching stop immediately and lower the weightIf you're stubborn, wear a belt higher than you would for squat and deadlift
Bro fuck the barbell for ohpIf your anatomy doesn’t align for it your gonna fuck up lots of shit in that fixed position Just do dumbells

>>77104577Lower weight; lift in front of a mirror.
look at this imagelook at it for about 10 minutesthen go to the gym and do standing press with an empty bar and the slowest, most controlled form possiblework your way up to no more than 95lbs unless you can do more than 20 reps of it over two minutesegolifting is bad but egolifting the press will result in an actual curse upon your bloodline
>>77104914I'll just end up jerking off
>>77104914>the press
>>77104949that's a standing press. This, is The Press.
>>77104956also known as: The Standing Incline Press, The Wiggly Wobbly Press, The Geeter-uuup! Assslapper Press
>>77104577I don't know if this will make sense but think of yourself as a pillar in a suspension bridge. Your muscles below your shoulders are suspension cables helping you keep upright as you engage them. Before you start the press, use every muscle you can to hold your body upright, abs/chest pull you forward, back/ass pulls you backwards with some balance learning curve. Half way through the rep your head moves forward so you can lock out the shoulders
>>77104577learn to hold a proper front rackdo front squats, jerks, push pressesthen you'll be ready to do some serious pressing

Half way through the rep your head moves forward so you can lock out the shouldersit's so beautiful bot, almost brings a tear to my eye :D conversely u can actually just press overhead with perfect posture UNDERHAND, and i mean just getting weight overhead and HOLDING IT THERE WITH MUSCLES, without moving shoulders up at all, elbows directly under barbell, forearms perpendicular to it think of your spine and legs as an age of sail mast - ludicrously strong and designed to bear vertical load, with knees straight and feet parallel, with hips pushed forward and extended thoracic spine and tucked chin, your muscles around spine hips and legs play a role of shroud ropes making the setup both very healthy and incredibly strong and u don't want to raise higher than just overhead because u want to HOLD THE WEIGHT with your muscles for dozen+ seconds, no you don't want to just fling it overheard fucking multiple shit in the process to stack bones beneath it - that's retarded, u want to USE THA MUSCLES to hold the weight, cauase u own it now, it doesn't own you bending backwards, now u are using the right postural muscles to hold spine vertically, the abs the multifidus, even gluteus maximus and VMO and TFL, and if you maintain pressure through the inside of the front of the sole even calf and gastrocnemius will engage >shutup it won't do traps like that, actual OHP won't grow cause it's all traps shrug is for traps bot, use same principles, just raise shoulders a tad and HOLD and undulate in wavy motion , underhand also wide grip - skip OHP and do these OHP WILL IMPROVE
>>77104577Do you want see my delts op? It's 7.5+ flexed from the side and I can technically lateral raise 50lbs easily and probably rear delt raise 100 no joke.
>>77104577squeeze glutes and brace stomach so you dont lean back uncontrollably and hurt your back is the one thing that wasnt obvious for me until i got to 80-90kguntil then, "just press lol" and the oly lifting habit of pressing the bar slightly behind the head worked well enough
>>77105698>t.
You need a solid foundation, arm setup and proper bracing is going to let you get more into the bar. Refer to the pictograph. Qualifications: 2pl8 rm
>>77105743kek nice drawing
>>77105743wrong glutes bot, u want lower gluteus maximus used to push hips forward, like so: >>77105698>Think of yourself as a pillar in a suspension bridge.

don't ohp, raising your arms above your head will fuck up your shoulder in the long run, and your back if you lean back while pressing
>>77104577Is this look achievable natty?
>>77108121>>77108135>don't ohp, raising your arms above your head will fuck up your shoulder in the long run, and your back if you lean back while pressingnope, shoulders get no damage with this: >>77108095>conversely u can actually just press overhead with perfect posture UNDERHAND, and i mean just getting weight overhead and HOLDING IT THERE WITH MUSCLES, without moving shoulders up at all, elbows directly under barbell, forearms perpendicular to it>think of your spine and legs as an age of sail mast - ludicrously strong and designed to bear vertical load, with knees straight and feet parallel, with hips pushed forward and extended thoracic spine and tucked chin, your muscles around spine hips and legs play a role of shroud ropes making the setup both very healthy and incredibly strong>and u don't want to raise higher than just overhead because u want to HOLD THE WEIGHT with your muscles for dozen+ seconds, no you don't want to just fling it overheard fucking multiple shit in the process to stack bones beneath it - that's retarded, u want to USE THA MUSCLES to hold the weight, cauase u own it now, it doesn't own you bending backwards, now u are using the right postural muscles to hold spine vertically, the abs the multifidusand that's why u delete it bitch chat, cause u can't have truth visible here
