I just started in the gym this year when my youngest started kindergarten. I have been trying for weeks to improve my press. I know it is a form issue more than a strength issue. I really struggle with this move but I do keep trying. I can do a light weight but I can't do a 45lb bar 😢 for more than four reps. Visually I don't get this exercise because I am almost totally blind. Have been visually impaired my whole life. I am 46 years old, 5'3 and 125 lb. 2 years ago I was 5'3 and 175 lb. Weightlifting definitely has changed my life and I love it. Thanks to you and You Tube. As an aging adult I love technology but I'm also terrified by it at the same time. I can't imagine self-driving cars even though I would love one being visually impaired, and I can't imagine going somewhere and not knowing if I was engaging with a person or a robot. But my children who are 16 10 and 5 totally love and engage with artificial intelligence and technology.
What a simple, clear actually useful video. Brilliant. I learned a lot, and LOVE how you jump straight to the point without bullshiting in introductions for a few minutes. This is a great series. Please continue making such informative videps
I have a tweaked rotator cuff that I train around; this exercise is perfect for my situation but some shoulder exercises I can’t do. I can go heavy on these
Hi just gave your overhead press a try. Found it easy to do. Haven't seen the hip flex in other overhead presses and find this extremely helpful. Thanks.
Hi Sulley, newbie here. Do you recommend pulldowns to complement the o/h press? Or curls, leg extensions? I know that these (excluding curl) are generally machine based exercises but I feel that they have a place in a well rounded resistance training programme
Ok, I deleted a couple of posts about my odd neck muscles. It appears to be the posterior scalene which I must have grown with bad form as a teenager many moons ago.
I'm a simple man really. I see a Sully video and I click

Thanks for this video. I have never seen the fingerprints into the bar setup. I will give it a try. Currently doing the Baker Power Building Program
You can't go wrong with Andy's programming.
2021 is going to be the year of fixing my press, thank you!
Didn't know about that grip, thanks
I did all five of these errors while training on Monday!
This is not true. I was there.
5 negatives make a positive. 😁
Beautiful, great! Thank you!
Thank you for posting this and your insight. Stay safe out there
Never tried this grip, but I'll use it next workout.
Thanks Dr. Sully. Love the tee shirt!
You bet!

Thank you for your videos. I have purchased your book and am currently studying it.
Your videos have become my go to before a workout - THANKS!
Thank you for this, Dr. Sully. :)
You are most welcome!

Public utility !!❤
Great video
Hi silly great video thanks for your time and help 🏋️
No problem 👍 Making "silly great videos" is what I'm all about. :)
you could say I'm cheating or you could say I'm using the most muscle to move the most weight possible
Can you bench with that grip?
Same grip, just wider.
I am surprised and arched lower back wasn't highlighted as an error
It helps if I review this from time to time.
We're here to help. Thanks.
Why not put the "killer" first??

That is a BIG scalene...
@@GreySteel still, at least it's symmetrical 😁
Uh oh, I only have dumb bells!
10:37 I believe that that is a Karl Marx quote
Not a strict press.
That's right. We don't do strict presses in this system of training.
aren't you from barbell logic?
I'm from Arizona. I occasionally work with Barbell Logic.
