Press Form Check-need some help

[Mike Longnecker]

My press is awful. I also need to gain weight.
Working on keeping it close to my face, trying to keep straight wrists, and use hip drive. Not going so well.
Thank you.
I know I need to gain weight. Working on it.

Look at 33-35s. What is happening there, Mike?

First I rotate my wrists back to attempt to correct the position, then I attempt hip drive as in press 2.0. I have read the chapter and the articles regarding the whole body being tight and the hips snapping forward, but it's just not clicking currently.

You need to look at your hips. You're relaxing your back and moving your pelvis around instead of what you're supposed to be doing: moving hips moving forward with locked back and locked legs. Start without the bar and try just the movement first.

Thank you!
Got to thinking about it last night, I will definitely look into this and understanding it. I have an awesome source of information here on the site to help me out.
