In fact, some regard the overhead press as the true indicator of upper body strength and power — sorry, bench press! • To nail perfect presses, technical proficiency should be at the forefront of one's goals. After all, a sloppy press will likely be a weak press, so take the time to perfect form before instantly loading the bar. At the end of the day, the overhead press is a skill so practice it like any other skill you would for sport. • For the overhead press, we had strength coach and strongman Joey Szatmary help us perfect our form. If you're trying to perfect your overhead press form, then check out the five steps above! • Overhead Press Mistakes • 5:13 Pressing Around the Head • 5:58 Gripping Too Wide • 1. Pressing Around the Head • A common mistake some lifters can run into is losing their bar path to press around the head. To help remedy this, slightly tuck the chin in the rack position and try to maintain a tight bar path to the body. • If you're doing this correctly, then the ending bar position will be right over the mid-foot or heel, as opposed to behind the body or in front of the shoulders. • 2. Gripping Too Wide • A wide grip is [generally] a weak grip in the overhead press. By not stacking the joints, you can lose power when initiating the overhead press from the rack position through the press. • If your arms resemble a W in your rack position, then you're likely gripping too wide and you need to bring the hands in tighter. • 3. Using Too Narrow of a Stance • Unless you're performing strict military presses, standing with the feet too close together is a great way to lose stability throughout the press and at lockout. Generally speaking, if your stance is narrower than hip width, then your stance is too close. • Overhead Press Benefits • 8:15 Overhead Press Benefits • The overhead press comes with multiple benefits and in this video Szatmary points out three major benefits worth keeping in mind. These benefits include: • 1. Carryover to Strength Sports/Traditional Sports • 2. Fantastic for Targeting Multiple Muscles At Once • 3.
