My opinions have run their course Member 694, 3112 posts | f**king hell where do I start.... hand position too wide for me.... gloves? wtf Set your feet as though you were about to jump in the air. no dip at all really. you could do with someone showing you this move I think mate, that would be easier. I am no expert, and my push presses are more like push jerks actually... also, I dont know about everyone else but I start with the weight sat on my chest | ||

 Still got a little bit of strength Member 400, 22043 posts | It's normal to have one side stronger than the other. The difference will diminish over time with training, but in my experience will always be there to some degree. | ||

 Eat.Cycle.Sleep.Win Member 2, 12511 posts SQ 190, BP 150, DL 280620.0 kgs @ 99kgs UnEq Administrator | I would drop the push presses for a while and focus on strict presses, with a light weight. You need to drill the motor patterns and 'practice' doing the lift. You must make every rep perfect, continuing to lift like you are will only make the problem worse and more importantly, harder to solve. This involves genuine concentration and focus (something that most wont do/have with weights they consider to be light). As soon as form goes, bin the set. I would then add some light seated dumbell work for sets of 8-10. to work on getting some strength for your shoulders, again, focusoing on perfect form. As soon as form goes on your weaker side bin the set. If you practice doing something badly, you'll get damn good at doing something badly. | ||

Dont do it in that cage/rack, you might injure yourself, and try to actually put the barbell onto your clavicles or shoulders. Short epileptic dip then a fast drive. Depends on what your training for really, but i'd focus on powercleans and push presses within the range of 70/80kg, and i'd concider squating more. | ||

Also doing seated DB work in the 8 rep range at the moment, but thanks anyway | ||

I don't see why I would get injured doing it in a cage though? I'm just training for fun at the moment, but I would like to get a bodyweight (95kg) push press sometime | ||

Inflexibility is not fatal, keep at it and you will improve it. | ||
