My Training Journal

Keep your head up. The dead weight will come. Also listen to saibot on the standing presses. Also are you locking out at the top? My shoulders feel like they are growing again since i've been doing nothing but standing barbell presses.

Here's the man rippetoe providing instruction. Note the lockout and squeeze at the top. Note the position of the bar in relation to the head at the top. It makes my shoulders and traps BURN!

Bro this is the exact video I watched on how to military press. Yep I lock out and push the bar back slightly like he does but the only thing is I dont lower it to touch my chest, I go down until the bar is about level with my bottom lip. Ill get a video next workout if you want?

& it makes your traps ache? Well thats why mine are so sore today then lol, I wondered what I did to make them this sore, all the way up the back of my neck.

lower it to the top of your chest next time.
make sure you have full control of the weight when you go down.
don't let it fall down fast.
form little bro, form.

yeah, listen to iggy. Go all the way down. Full range of motion. And like he said have it controlled all the way down. Think of it this way, if you needed to, at any time you could quickly switch directions and go back up. That's a good gauge of control on the negative.
