O children, listen to uncle Rip
mess not with the supine grip

When your grip fails, making the bar drop,
and you hear your os frontal pop,
or raise your head and catch it in the eyes
O child, you won't look very wise.

Mess not with the supine grip
O kiddos, listen to uncle Rip
listen to uncle Rip.

*sings*

Here's an important point: if your wrists twitch, as they do occasionally, and the bar falls, what does it hit on the way down out of a supine overhead grip?

Probably the bridge of my nose. As you say, "dont do that."

Basically everything. A very good reason not to do it lol

Would this version be spotted the same way as the normal press? Youtube.

Come on, Rip...I was looking for a serious discussion on this topic and youre mocking me for safety!!! FFS. Because someone might do something wrong (dropping the bar on their face) is not an reason to not do something right. See your response to arguments against unsafe, wrong squats. Hell, Ive hit myself in head and face doing regular presses (stopped doing that).

My original question still stands un- answered about the full range of motion of bicep.
