Tips: Fix Your Overhead Pressing Method

Some say you shouldn't squeeze overhead since it's terrible for your shoulders, yet that is just valid in the event that you have present damage.

In the event that you see that the front of your shoulder drops down and your elbow flares out, at that point your shoulder is going to go tits up and you will get some impingement. When you let your shoulder drop, your rotator sleeve can wind up noticeably compacted under your acromion (which is a hard procedure of the shoulder bone).

While doing the standing press, keep the elbows up and tight to the body. Crush your shoulder bones together to keep your shoulder in a nonpartisan arrangement.

The next time you do a standing press, do a quick body positioning check.

The Setup

• Stand with the feet shoulder-width apart.

• Lift the chest and elbows.

• Keep your head neutral.

The Lift 

• Connect with the center as you somewhat recline to press the bar. 
• Keep your elbows lifted as you start your press. 
• Draw the body through once the bar moves beyond the head. 
• Shrug the shoulders up at the highest point of the press as you "extend the bar." 

Following these means will build your squeezing capacity and shield you from decimating your shoulders all the while.
