The tips are good, but each lifter in this video has the bar separated from their shoulders and is lowering it to get a stretch reflex at the start before pressing, which is... I mean... this movement is not performed in competition anymore, so I guess you can do it however you want, but I would call it bad form 🤷🏼♂
@@radreynolds8978 I see... I went to watch Rippetoe's video on the subject. Mental gymnastics indeed. That man really is obsessed with hip drive. But the only reason he's teaching it this way is because he's trying to emulate what weightlifters used to do then to bend the rules to lift more weight on the clean & press in competition. Weightlifters who incorporate presses in training nowadays do them strict, as was intended from the start, or they go with a proper push-press. Having said that, even though I'm not a fan of that technique, that's not what I was getting at with my previous comment. Rippetoe teaches his "press 2.0" from a dead start, whereas here they're lowering the weight to get a stretch reflex from the shoulders and triceps, which would be equivalent to starting your deadlift a few inches off the floor so that you could bounce it back up to make the lift easier. Normally you would have access to that only on subsequent reps on a touch & go set.
These tips are good. Just wish they were for an actual strict press and not the "let's get a spine injury" starting strength faux push press. I will implement these but continue to do my presses from the collarbone and with no hip movement. If weightlifters can press a 150kg bar overhead in this manner, I have no excuse to bounce around with 70kg.

it's the starting strength "press 2.0". Rippetoe goes on some mental gymnastics rant about how it's "optimal" (it's not).

Bouncing is horrible form, agreed. Lots of people complain about mobility and cut reps shy, but then start the movement anyway with a stretch reflex.
Why are they leaning back to start the press ?
