80kg (176lb) strict overhead press 5 reps

This is one of my weaker movements, but my form has improved a lot since i first started doing them. Still leaning back too much though. Any form pointers would be appreciated.

I noticed your wrists are bent back quite a bit, doesn't that hurt your wrists?

Very impressive though. I have a really crap technique in everything I do, maybe you could give me some advice? (I'm training for armwrestling by the way)

@Paul27chocolate Hey mate, thanks for the comment. This is a pretty old video of mine, but i don't remember getting any wrist pain. My form has improved somewhat now, but i'm not much better lol! I'll have a look at your vids and see if i can help :)

There's plenty of good advice in the comments to keep you busy :) Nice pressing! If you want to be pressing strictly, only move your head back to get it out of the way of the bar, and finish up and behind your ears. You're on the right track for sure.

Thanks mate. I have been currently working on my form, and feel i have improved it a lot! As soon s i get back up to 80kg's for 5 i'll stick up a new vid. (That'll be a new p.b as i have lost 21pounds over the past few months)

@Paul27chocolate I noticed this was posted a while ago but answer if you can, I do that back curve that you do on the higher reps as well after about 5 reps. Is that bad form or is that how everyone does it?

[Paul27chocolate]

Cheers mate, I look forwards to seeing you thrash your new records!

I'm going to the British Armwrestling Tem GB qualifier on 28th (in Lancashire) to see if my training has got me anywhere. I really want to improve my overall strength, but I'm on a very tight budget as you'll see in my vids.

Keep it up dood : )

[Paul27chocolate]

Yep, I have that problem too, I can't keep my body rigid, although I can do reps of 65, I can't seem to get "under" with my body.

4) Compliment your barbell presses with 1-armed dumbbell presses. For myself and others I have coached the dumbbell presses is really the way to go for over-head strength in the way that it affects the stabilizing ability a lot more and make your ab/lumbar-complex super strong. It also adds a better range of motion to the shoulder movement which can benefit overall pressing a whole lot while also making the lift biomechanically more ideal. The barbell press could be seen as complimentary... :)
