    That facial expression! Haha!

    The advice I can give from this angle is limited, but I can comment on a few things. No more of that lateral neck movement as seen on 0:22. You've got to keep that neck in line when under load. Looks like you have some elbow flare going on, too. Check out this video for help: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqKhLR1zRaU

    Can't see how well your abs are supporting the back from this angle, and that's a key component of the press.

    Thanks for the tips and the vid , I will try to work on it.
    I have a press workout in a couple of days, I want to update my form, from where do you suggest to film the set?
    By the way should I go heavier next time or stay with the same weight again?

    Same weight. Check out this link for video tips: http://startingstrength.com/resource...ad.php?t=16744 and if you post a second video, do a side view.

    Your grip looks kinda wide(forearms not vertical) and your elbows aren't in front of the bar at the bottom.

    Same weight, I really tried to keep my elbows in, my triceps were on fire! LOL
    It was harder even though it was the same weight becuase I think I have week triceps (should I add an accessory exercise ? I feel like my triceps hold me back), and I did the set slower becuase I focused on the form and that was harder.

    Your name is Mishel, not Sharon like I wrote before. D'oh!

    Looks okay from this angle. Make sure you try to keep your elbows up when you get fatigued. I wouldn't bother with accessory stuff right now. Just getting better at pressing, probably microloading, will give you stronger triceps.
