@adampfau: Overhead presses are one of the most effective exercises for developing your shoulders. They are also one of the most difficult and frustrating exercises to improve on which causes people’s form to suffer as they try to “force” progress. First, make sure you select a grip that allows your wrists and forearms to be straight and perpendicular to the bar. This will put you in the safest and strongest position. Second, use full range of motion. The bar should come down to around your upper chest and then you should lock it out. Third, keep your legs out of the movement. This isn’t a push press. The goal is to focus on the shoulders. Fourth, don’t overarch your back. This usually happens when trying to go too heavy and is a great way to get hurt. Use full range of motion, don’t use momentum, and arch your back slightly. As you press the weight up, you will need to move your head back slightly in order to keep the bar path straight without smacking yourself in the face. This is a humbling exercise and you should be focusing on form before loading up the weight. #overheadpress #shoulderpress #shoulderworkout
