squats and standing overhead barbell press
Originally posted by DEF Bungis
P-Funk I have a question about those because I love that exercise also....
Do you look up, or keep your head straight?
At peak, do you have the bar directly over your head, or forward of your head?
And Last do you bring the bar all the way back down to the ground for every rep?

I look directly forward the entire time I am doing an overhead press. Looking up makes you lean back to much. As the bar travels just past my eyes, I pop start to push the bar over head and pop my upperbody through so that the bar is now directly overhead, so that the bar is splitting my head down the center. Leaving it out in front of you doesn't allow as much control over the bar as it is not over your center of gravity and can put a lot of strain on the shoulder joint because of this (because you are trying to stabalize weight out in front of you). Bring the bar back to the ground?? If I am doing power cleans then yes I drop all the way back to the ground. If i am doing lock knee overhead presses I bring the bar all the way down under my chin so that it touches the top of my anterior delts andI pause holding the bar in the rack position like that (the end position of a clean where you are creating a shelf out of your anterior delts that the bar rests on). Then without using my hips (this is not a push press) I push the weight back up to lockout over head.

I haven't even done a standing military in so long, I've been doing clean and jerks and push presses for my shoulders.
My favourite exercise is the dead by far, stiff-legs, conventional, Romanian, Sumo, snatch grip, I love them all.
I like the snatch too, the front squat, and the clean and jerk. There's something special about the snatch and getting a weight overhead.
Peace.

OK, so what is the difference between push press, and standing overhead press? Is the push press a machine?
Originally posted by Yanick
when you pushpress you use your legs to pop the weight up from the botton, overhead presses use no help from legs or anything, its standing with your knee straight and pressing overhead.
regular overhead presses

I voted traps. Mine seem to grow rather easily, and are very strong.
