Hey great explanation/demonstration. Your tip of holding "elbows up-bar on shoulders", I found using that for the push press helped me be confident to do more weight. Good stuff, thanks!

@915olivares11 You can't target your fatburning, when fat is burning its burning, your body decides where its easier to lose and to gain fat. Men got hard time losing belly fat while women has the same problem with thighs/butt area.

why do my hands get sore and tingly from rack position and over head presses of any sort other than KBs or handstands? You know Xfit has a high volume Oli lifts. They jack my hands up!

[AChildOfBodom667]

@915olivares11 Yes, but with a lot of weight and good form - you'll wind up with a fairly thick waist and chest. If you do them properly, you engage all those stabilizing muscles in your torso. You will loose fat, but will not loose inches off your waist. You want to loose fat and get that sarin-wrapped, ugly as shit bodybuilder physique? Go find a track and start sprinting.

I think it's important to point out as well that the length of your arms determines how far you can put your elbows up. Someone with proportions such as Jason Khalipa can, in fact, put their elbows really far up. Yet someone with a build like mine - 6'5", 41" outseam, and 36" long arms - will find it impossible (yes, impossible) to place the elbows all the way up since that position would cause the bar to rest in the middle of our head, which is impossible.

@IIIThreat this may be an issue with flexiblity, I have a friend whose about an inch shorter than you and he has no problem with this, although the bar is at his fingertips while resting on his shoulders. I also have a friend about my size, 5' 9" 26.5" arm length who can't do this at all. So I take it it's just flexibility and that can be fixed by focusing on wrist flexibility.

Solid.
