This can strain the lower back and lead to injury.⁣ ⁣ ✅Engage your core: Brace your abdominals and keep your core tight throughout the movement. Keep your torso upright. If you find yourself arching your back, reduce the weight or focus on better posture.⁣ ⁣ ❌𝗣𝘂𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗼𝗱𝘆 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝗱𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗹𝘆 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗱⁣ ⁣ When pressing the barbell, the arms should move in a straight line over your head, not forward. Pushing the barbell in front of your face or body can cause ⁣ stress on your shoulders and limit the efficiency of the press.⁣ ⁣ ✅Bar path: Aim to move the barbell in a straight line from the top of your chest or clavicle to directly overhead. This involves keeping your elbows slightly in front of your body at the start, then locking them in place as you press.⁣ ⁣ Slightly tuck your chin as you press, which can help clear the bar path and avoid pushing it forward. Imagine pushing the bar backwards just slightly instead of straight ahead.⁣ ⁣ ❌Breaking at the wrists⁣ ⁣ “Breaking” the wrists means letting the wrists bend or flex backward while holding the barbell, rather than keeping them in a neutral or strong position.⁣ ⁣ ✅Keep a strong grip on the bar, with your knuckles facing upward and wrists in a neutral position. The bar should rest more on your palms than on your fingers.⁣ ⁣ Wrists in line with forearms: Avoid allowing the wrists to bend backward; they should be in a straight line with the forearms, ensuring you’re using your whole arm (not just your hands) to support the weight.⁣ If you found this helpful share with a friend like and follow for more content like this 🔥 #trainer #personaltrainer #Fitness #fitnesscoach#lifestylecoach #coach #onlinecoach#onlinecoaching #onlinetrainer #fitnessprograms #exercisetips #exercisedemo
