Helpful Tips:
I have talked about this with a number of our members, but I wanted to put it out there for everyone to give a shot. When pressing the bar overhead, try keeping your thumb behind the bar instead of wrapping it around the bar. So, instead of a full grip on the bar, your thumb is right next to your pointer finger and the bar is resting in your palm. For everyone who has tried it, including myself, it seems to allow an easier straight bar path and also seems to be easier to keep the bar up by your collar bone with your elbows at a slight angle in the rack position. Give that a shot, and let me know what you think.
