Mark Rippetoe: Press Posture Question

[Trying2WorkOut]

This looks like it puts a lot of stress on the shoulders. I'm scared to try it...

[NiceAndSmooth247]

she must be a fugitive, you'll probly see her on I (Almost) Got Away With it in a couple of years lmao

[454Casull]

Did anybody notice the guy sitting on the stairs?

[kwstas67]

@454Casull now that u said whats this nigga doin there? :)

[MrBudSmail]

haha dude's face when she ducks down is priceless

[korvix]

good girl, mark taught her to go down fast when needed

[bcoz1492]

squeezing the glutes throughout the exercise helps prevent hyper extension of the back too. It forces use of the abs to bend back at the hips.

[churde]

oh lawd silly bish by that action she attracted all the attention to her. would plow

[ako541]

i don't know why but i really hate mark rippetoe :/

[youngthugga87]

LOL look at the guy's facial expression when the girl crouches down he's like WTF?

[MATEOTL86]

He talks to him like an idiot!

Or like how an annoyed Dad would do to his Son!!

[MATEOTL86]

Rippetoe! You kick ass! 5x5 is the best!!!!!

[Ikefis]

use caution when moving head forward...very important to keep head and neck in neutral position

[ako541]

@Ikefis putting your head through as its called is actually safer as it keeps everything straight when the weight is overhead which takes some of the pressure of your spine

[Ikefis]

putting the head through by trunk flexion is correct and with this the neck is neutral. I see many who tuck their chins and this is ,IMO, an unsafe technique. I guess we agree in principle

[ako541]

@Ikefis ideally yes keeping everything neutral is the best way,"putting the head through" is a good cue to stop people leaning back and putting unnecessary loads on there spinal disks and making what is an amazing deltoid exercise into an incline press !!!

[Ikefis]

Rip is the man...Trigger for correct move is to tuck your pelvis(ass) this makes it easy to remain in form and initiate hip movement in overhead press

[simpllyhuge]

Ripp is awesome but crossfit people are so annoying.

[OhmgrownCron]

lmfao. That is just too funny.

[paleheroes]

thanks for the video - i have a habit of doing the arching my lower back instead of leaning back with my hips. so much info to remember! lol

[liebestandarte88]

is she on americas most wanted?

[CelticAndProud]

at 2.13 the girl bends over to suck the guys cawk, hence his expression. mystery solved

[TheLivingHermit1]

Hahahaha funny thing is that they looked worse by doing that than if they hadn't ducked away from the camera.

[NothingEverything1]

at 2:10 LOOOL watch the girl ducking away cause she doesent wanna be seen on the cam :D also the look of the dude is funny :D

[Zildjian285]

Lol, that was comedy. I think the guys expression was the best.

[camstuckey]

@NothingEverything1 hahah just noticed that, she probably missed work.

[sjcdsteve]

@NothingEverything1 she is sexy

[itskillertofu]

@NothingEverything1 she didn't even hesitate... hahaha!
