Greetings, iam Michael Heroux, Have a nice day.
Ugh, the overhead press - it’s the bane of my existence! I’m so weak at it, and it’s really starting to get me down. I mean, I can do a few reps here and there, but nothing that would make me feel like I’m making any progress. It’s like no matter how hard I try, my strength just isn’t there. But hey, that’s why they call it a challenge right? So here goes nothing - time to tackle this overhead press head on!
Why Is Overhead Press So Weak? [Solved]
Ya know, if your overhead press is weak, it could be due to a few things like bad mobility, unstable shoulders, an old injury or just not enough strength.
Poor Posture: Poor posture can lead to an inefficient overhead press, as it can cause the lifter to lose stability and power.
Grip Width: Having a grip that is too wide or too narrow can limit the range of motion and reduce the effectiveness of the lift.
Core Strength: Weak core muscles can lead to an inability to stabilize during the lift, resulting in a weak overhead press.
Shoulder Mobility: Limited shoulder mobility can restrict range of motion and make it difficult for lifters to get into proper position for an effective overhead press.
Upper Back Strength: Weak upper back muscles can limit stability during the lift, leading to a weak overhead press performance.
If you’re having trouble with your overhead press, don’t worry - it’s totally normal! Everyone has weak spots in their workout routine, and the overhead press is a tough one. It takes time and practice to build up strength in this area, so don’t get discouraged. Just keep at it and you’ll be pressing like a pro in no time!
