Squeeze your glutes as hard as you possibly can and remind yourself to stay tall with the sternum lifted. Let your glutes take all the pressure off your lower back.
I really like this style of instructional video, with Rip's narration and Chase's demostration. Keep up the great work!

This is actually an awesome video. Even if you have been doing it right (maybe me and even then unknowingly), this is an incredible breakdown for how to teach someone else how to do the movement. Also, Startiing Strength is an awesome book for anyone who hasn't perused through it yet.
Very well explained and demonstrated
Straight from the book gotta respect the consistency.
Criminally underrated channels 🙌🏽
the voice and accent alone improved my press by 5%
Very helpful and led me to catch several mistakes I've been making. Thank you 🙂
Excellent and comprehensive explanation.
This was a good one. Several very important (and very simple), tips here in straightforward presentation.
Ok I have watched a series of these today and I do believe this was the most helpful. Mainly because of the prop lifting the weight does a great job extenuating cues. Thanks for the great melody at the end too. Cheers.
I'd never heard about this hip bouncing before, thanks!
Awesome instruction! Thanks for sharing!

Wow. I used to think of ohp a simple movement but this opened my eyes
well that is better then previous explanation of using the hips
Now this is good content. I can't be the only one that wants rows after they do the bench press. And a DB bench too
I think I may be getting the hang of the press. As my hips were rebounding and I was driving the bar up and my head forward, the bar felt much lighter than usual. This was on my third rep of the fourth set, toward the end when I was tired. Now I'm quite excited to keep practicing the press to see if I really can learn the proper technique. I'm pretty happy that I got the book, and that these videos serve as an adequate refresher.

Thank you so much!!!! I am gonna add presses to my training program today after work....
These new videos are real good. I also notice there's some fine hounds prowling the gym!
Thanks for the great video! One thing that I have found has really helped my press is to make sure you grip the bar really really hard. As someone told me - "like it owes you money!" is a cue that works for me.

Not that it was shabby before, but I'm loving the newer SS content! Any thoughts on taking your breath at the unrack and holding tension through as many reps as reasonable? And if needed, taking short breaths at lockout?

Rip's voice is like music
Reading this book , just finished this chapter. The narrators voice inside my head was exactly the same as the narrator of the video.
Hi a question on coordination of the movement. Where should the bar be by the time the lifter's hips are back in the start position?
Just wanna give Chase a holler... lookin good, man!
What about the lower body? How wide should the stance be? Should the legs be completely straight with the knee joints locked or should there remain a micro bend in the knees?
I would love to see some SS Radio episodes on each of the lifts.
Can some explain how the breathing works for this movement? Thanks!
Good shit right here
I presume the rebound thing facilitates heavier plates, but does it help grow/strengthen muscles?

PogChamp It’s not supposed to be a strict press. Starting Strength doesn’t care about isolated muscle groups. The intent is to recruit the most muscle mass possible from each lift which this does.

Do one really have to shrug the bar up in the top of the lift in order to avoid shoulder impingement? Of course people can have different shapes of their acromion, that would increase the risk of impingement or not. But I’ve seen sources that indicate that as long as you have your elbows pointing to the sides the shoulder cuff tendons should not be pinched. The problem can occur when the elbows spin toward the back( internal rotation). If this is not true, then a antagonist movement like a scapular pull-up would be a nightmare for the rotator tendons? For what I see Scapular pull-ups are used a lot for creating better scapular stability in the pull-up. What are your thoughts? Thank you for the great stuff, you make the fitness world better! Andrew
I love the press. Slipped disc in my neck gives me a trapped nerve doing this though so it's gone for me
How does activating the hips interact with the pressure in the lower back arch? I can’t seem to see how to push the hips toward without emphasizing the lower back.

Think about how you push your hips at the end of a deadlift versus hyperextending your back at the end of a deadlifr
There is not a more clear or comprehensive breakdown of proper form and technique to perform a movement pattern or exercise on KZread than the content published by Starting Strength. Aces
What do think about pressing behind the neck?
Great

This was one of my favorite lifts only I was doing them seated. Doing it seated I would look up as I did the lift and brought the bar down to my chin. The reason is it forces your back straight and in my eyes you should control the speed of the weight coming down. I would generally do 6 sets 3 of which were at 275 lbs. I would also grip the bar wider then what this guy does. If you keep good form in mind you are very unlikely to hurt yourself. I did this for a very long time w/o injury. I maxed out one day at 315 for 2 reps.. but I was feeling very strong that day and I did that on I think it was the 12th set.. "normal lifts then 2 reps as the weight went up per set above the 6th"..
I missed barbells so much... when he grabs that barbell... somethings kindled in me...

I'm witcha. Fuck the Kingflu, man.
1:10 - 1:19 This. Whenever I try to do this, I feel the correct muscles being used, I use this cue for rows, chest exercises, shoulders, even arms- basically all upper body movements. The only thing is when I do this I feel my abs lose tension and pressure in my lower ribs (basically rib flare). Am I doing something wrong when I do this cue? I've never heard it said this way but it makes so much sense. Are there any other ways I can think of doing this without having my abs lose tension?

Take a big belly breath before initiating the 'chest up' cue. That way you will have decent amount of air on the belly. In short, learn valsalva maneuver.
I feel like this video should be watched on vhs.
Why is downward movement of the bar allowed at the start? Seems like it grants a bit of a stretch reflex.

Everything is allowed since you can do in the gym whatever you want. But keep in mind that this way of performing the OHP is not a strict press (as you have already implied in your comment)
@Mozrael7

In the absence of competition rules, we're guided by some principles: we seek to lift the heaviest weight using the greatest muscle mass over the longest range of motion. So, a stretch reflex (just like in the squat) can be helpful.

@Orthellen This was a strict press though. The 350 he did was far from strict.
I wish I had the shoulder flexibility to do this lift correctly - the last part, I mean, with the bar directly over the back of your head. Getting old is no joke.
Rip, did you tell Dr Austin Baraki to "aim for his nose" as he lifts the bar from his shoulders?

@arch0049
2 жыл бұрын
Out of all their videos this is the only one I slightly disagree with. I believe you should start with the bar already touching your chest, then no bounce. I have a video on my profile of me overhead pressing 225LBSx2 with no bounce. It is not a tutorial. But it may help you visualize. I find the bounce especially difficult to do without bending my knees, thus it not being a true strict press. I also find it difficult on the shoulders. Overtime I found the bounce was completely unnecessary when you can start with the bar directly on your chest. At first you may plateau or go down in weight. But after a few weeks you should get some gains and your shoulders will thank you. Like I said, check mine out if you want. Good luck.
This is an old video but I have a question regarding the press. I have a home gym and have a pretty good set up. However, my basement ceiling is too low to be able to do a standing press. My feeling is the answer will be “figure it out”. but I was wondering if there was an alternative such as a sitting press?

Am I squeezing my glutes before pushing hips forward or only quads? I push my hips forward but there's no reflex to push me back to initiate the press. It feels like I can just hangout in that "hips forward" position all day. Help, tips? Thanks!
@benjaminzaoui9683
3 жыл бұрын
Sure, just like the video said squeeze the quads to really lock out the knees and eliminate any knee flexion (it helps to point toes out at an angle as opposed to having feet parallel pointing forward which, facilitates bending of the knee.) This coupled with engaging the core, also as per the video will cause tension across the hip joints. So when you push your hips forward they should pop back to your starting position. Practice shooting JUST your hips forward as Chase does in the video for reps with no bar, then add the bar, and then add weight. It's minor, but when you push the hips forward the bar will drop a bit, and bounce back up as the hips move back again. Harness this bouncing affect to help initiate the drive out of the bottom and create momentum. As RIP says, the overhead press is the most technically challenging of the lifts as if any little movement is off then you will miss the lift.
Im stuck at 7,5kg+bar (16.5lbs+bar). Luckily we have plates as small as 0,25kg(0.55lbs) so Im gonna do increments of 0,5kg(1.1lbs). Hope I get results.

Never. An overhead press with knee flexion and extension involves the leg musculature and is a push press.
