Press check

[Nate9]

Hi, wanted to get your feedback on my press, it's been a couple weeks now that my press lockout is uneven, one side is higher than the other, i tried shrugging harder but that doesn't fix the issue, in fact sets with the empty bar are uneven too.

Any idea on what i should do?

My wife has a similar problem but I don't know why your left side wavers to a lower position. I can't tell for sure but it does look as if the bar is out in front of you instead of straight over the center of your feet.

Hello,

Any idea on what i should do?

I think it's helpful to pay attention to the position of your elbows at the start; maybe one of the two is lower, or wider. You'll need to check their position at each rep, and make a conscious effort to bring the wayward one back in line, *and* keep it in line during the movement.

Having someone to check and give you feedback live is also very useful. It doesn't have to be a qualified coach, anyone able to tell if a hand is higher than the other will do.

Hope this helps.
