    Need to see your grip width. Also, be sure that the bar is resting on the heel of your palm; across or inbetween your thenar and hypothenar eminence.

    You could add more hip movement into the press, have you read SS 3'rd edition?

    Sure. Usually you need to record a challenging weight for a form check to be productive, but if it's just to check the grip width then post away.

    If you've read the 3rd edition, I'd recommend re-reading it. Granted, I stopped watching after 2 reps but you're not using your hips at all.

    And my personal preference is to start each rep from the bottom. I believe that in the book, the option is there to do it either way.

    You should be driving them forward as far as they can go. Do this with locked knees and keep everything tight. Then press.. should become a fluid motion.

    If that is as far forward as they go, you have other issues.

    is there a big difference between the 3rd and 2nd editions? I have the 2nd edition copy of the book. >.<
