Press Progression
We will learn 3 types of overhead presses, the press, push press & push jerk. Each movement starts in the same position--front rack--with bar resting on the "rack" created by the shoulders. Elbows should be down & in front of the bar
Press execution:
Tighten midsection, drive through heels keeping the whole body rigid. Bar travels straight up to a locked out position. Your head will accommodate the bar by moving back & then it will return to its normal position.
See the picture below for the perfect finish position,

See how low he is in the full squat--that is your goal each time you perform a squat.
Squat Basics
The SQUAT triad
1. weight on heels
2. lumbar curve
3. chest up
FULL squat
*crease of hips below the knees
Initiate squat with the butt--move butt back & down
Eyes look forward
Feet shoulder width or slightly wider & pointing out about 30 degrees
Knees "track over the toes"
As body lowers & rises, "spread the floor" (push the knees out)
