sir, you executed the overhead press poorly, because it might be too heavy for you - that is you're wiggling. please post where you're lifting something lighter, because i'm curious if your form where the weight is lighter is great or poor.  |

What are you doing with your feet? Why is your stance seperated like that.
Rotate your videos.

Yea I figured. if you look in my progress diary, todays entire workout was just off. felt so shitty. anyway, this is me at a lighter weight, but before you point it, in this vid, I know elbows are supposed to be ahead of bar, and elbows locked at end

I cant seem to get that right. Any tips? look at how she does it. --- 1) grip the bar strong and try to pull it apart - engages the triceps and lats, core must be tight - like you're about to be hit by a punch, ass tight - keeps your your lower back tight in the process and stops you from wiggling. think one muscle. |

Put the bar more on your scapula and front shoulders, you are mainly holding it up using the muscles in your shoulder and arms, expending a lot energy.

I cant seem to get that right. Any tips? Think of it like this: Instead of moving your elbows forward to lower the bar, think of bringing them straight down, and move your head accordingly. Same with going up. Press straight up, and "step under" the bar, aka just moving your torso forward until you're under it. Here's me doing it, if it helps at all.

You interpreted staggered stance correctly. Nothing wrong with that. If that is comfortable for you continue doing that way. and are you saying I should physically REST the bar on the front shoulders?
Yes. You have to physically rest the bar on the front shoulders though not completely. Also your upper arms/forearms should be vertical to the floor. Like this  |

Yes. You have to physically rest the bar on the front shoulders though not completely. Also your upper arms/forearms should be vertical to the floor. Like this I can't see that picture but the upper arms aren't supposed to be perpendicular to the floor (vertical), your elbows should be in front of your hands with the bar resting on the shoulders |
