But I'd be the smallest.

@Kmaru

I've met you in ego,you ain't that short bro!

I'll definitely be the fattest!

That would be me, if I aint too scared to show up lol.

Need some pointers guys!

And I shall be the awesomemest,

Carry on......

I'm going to sound amazingly cynical about this, but I forgot something on my list of Frequent Low Yat Topics:
6. Hey guys let's meet up, but I can't do this date or this time or this date or time or venue and something came up at the last minute, so I guess this isn't going to happen after all, eh?

Until something is sorted out and posted here, I can be found eating my way through double patty burgers every Wednesday night at Sid's in TTDI, so if any of you want an unofficial meetup and you're in the area...say hi.

errr... i think it aint so much a big deal with that weight if u r going to bend ur knees and push urself up.
try lowering the weight and do some weight that u do not have to bend ur knees and push urself up.
in my opinion, doing it without bending ur knees and kicking urself up is way more effective than this way. =.=
just my opinion... good job.

It's a push press, not an overhead press.

Anyway Pedro, your elbows are pointing towards the ground, so that gives you a very unstable position to push from. Try to keep your elbows pointing forward, as that will automatically make your back arch and your chest out. Look at how olympic lifters do the jerk phase of the clean and jerk, that's the elbow position you want.

Also, make sure you say in advance if you want a picture or a video

Desvaro said it all!

To keep my elbows pointing forward means that I have to use a narrower grip,right?

I learned the movements from online vids,never seen anyone doing it live.

My friend was already recording then he decided to ask!

Bro I'm gonna Hart tonight. Coming?

Not necessary to use a narrower grip, just use a grip that is comfortable.

Anyway I said 'try' to let your elbows point forward, but in a push press this can be rather difficult. Just make sure your chest is up and your back is arched. Naturally your elbows will come up when you do that.

Also, some people have the tendency to dip onto their toes, DON'T do that, although I can't really see from your vid. Keep your weight on your heels

I try to do that but on the last reps the heel sometimes does come up.

Actually I have another vid for 70kgs,but failed on the 4th rep!

Nice, I think I can only manage 60kg for like 2 or 3 reps only.

Oh... =.= okok. =.=
well, never done that. gonna try someday. hahaha...
all i ever did was overhead presses.
43kg x10 or so

pointer: OHPs are intense as fkkk, you don't want your mate to be saying "do you want a picture or video" midrep

LoL.

In all srsness, I have always felt it to be a really technical lift because it stresses my fragile wrists I think I just about got the hang of it. If you're able to hold a bar for front squats with a grip (not with your hands crossed), you should be able to attain a neutral position for OHP when you unrack or inbetween reps.

hmm, I have my wrists just outside my shoulders just because if they're within my shoulder width, my thumbs would get pinched in between the bar and shoulder. I rotate my elbows all the way forward so they are pointing in front of me, essentially resting the weight on my anterior delts.

The descend is an important part of the lift because so many things can go wrong. Your downward motion if you watch the video, was the same problem I was having. Your elbows flare outwards first, then you change your mind midway and decide to descend with elbows forward. It's too complicated. It took me ages to fix that, and I don't think I have it fixed yet. Not entirely a problem, but when weights get heavier, they are just too much to think about.

That's all I have to say. All the best with your lift.

Thx,but I have a wrist mobility issue,its just not that flexible to allow me to rest the weight on my delts.

I have to try and fix the downward motion but kinda hard as am still not quite sure what's wrong.
