Overhead Press, Oh Yes!!

OHP went well, yesterday. On my final set, I belted up and banged out 9 reps. I almost got to 10, but psyched myself out (?!). I've been watching loads of videos and reading articles lately, looking for new cues to help me improve this lift. I narrowed my grip and moved my feet a bit closer, just inside of shoulder width. These modifications, as well as using a false (thumbless) grip have worked wonders. Besides that, I've been cleaning the bar from the floor, rather than starting from a rack. Not much else to say, but this training week ended on a high note!

Here you have it:
