The new press video by Tommy Suggs already gave me a lot of insight here, as I am not involving my hip flexors as suggested, not as nearly as laid back as I should be.
- On the 5th rep on the last couple of sets I usually find myself lifting the heels up in the air in order to complete the rep, was wondering if there's any major problem with it, and should I prefer a failure over a completed rep with lifted heels?
- I just added a belt in my last couple of workouts, and I actually lifted less weight with it, what are your insights on using a belt for the OHP?
Wish u all a happy new year at WFAC
