i literally just finished my lifting session tonight with a Push press ladder. seeing this in my recommended videos as i turned on youtube for dinner is a blessing!
Hi there, I have some questions since I've been trying to learn the jerk rack position this past weeks in order to have efficient push press mechanics. The problem is that I'm limited with the external rotation of the shoulder, so if I try to take the grip one fist from the knurling, I tend to narrow my grip during reps until it's index finger from the knurling in order to compensate this inflexibility. Otherwise, I am very flexible in the other mobility requirements of the rack position, so i can have a full hand in the bar, but with high elbows, like in the clean rack position. This makes my pressing a bit awkward, specially for my wrists, because I need to rotate my hand a lot in order to have a good overhead position and it's really uncomfortable, specially when I lower the bar to the shoulders again. Do you have any recommendations? Thanks!
Make sure you're trying to do position correctly - ua-cam.com/video/6JHxmVqApMI/v-deo.html Try this stretch in warm-up and between sets - ua-cam.com/video/RknkVzeNYfs/v-deo.html And then you just need to do more mobility work for shoulders and upper back.
that wouldn't make sense at all. that would mean you're pressing with the arms while driving with the legs. The point is to accelerate and elevate the bar as much as possible with the legs and only follow-through with the arms, just like a jerk.
Love this whole library! When i push press and it starts to get heavy i find i strart pushing the bar out in front of me, and at the same time my upper body leans back, almost as if in pushing myself away from the bar (if that makes sense) . Is that an issue you come across frequently?
Yes very common. Work on strengthening abs, bracing more forcefully, and improving arm mechanics, ie pushing the bar back immediately and spreading elbows. ua-cam.com/video/RhyZh-tozxE/v-deo.html

I love your videos coach!! Thank you for the content 🙏🏽 They make me a better lifter and a better coach for my athletes 🙌🏽💯
Thank you😊
Great vid. 120 moved easy
I used to dip down to fast so when the wheight was so to say still falling or settling i was already pushing up
on the descent it rams into my collarbones. I cannot get back from the ahpulders back overhead position into that strange clean-like position

Is it less efficient if you dip enough and time it so the hip angle fully opens at the same time the elbows lock out?

@@CatalystAthletics Ok so I've likely been starting the press too early. Hopefully correcting my technique will increase my max then. Thanks.

I hit my chin...
It helps when you don't do that 😅
Retract your head slightly, like Olympic jerkers. Then push it back through the arms at the top.
Try retracting the head, like they do in the jerk. Then push it back through at the top.
