What We Saw Wednesday #30: How You Unrack Matters! Are you reverse curling your Overhead Press?

Author: Dr. Rori Alter, PT, SSC, PRSCC August 16, 2023 Duration: 5:50

The unrack of the overhead press should put you in the right start position. Yet you may be unracking poorly causing a higher energy expenditure, stress on the shoulder, elbow, and wrist, and putting you in a poor position to start the overhead press. 

 

In this What We Saw Wednesday episode, Dr. Alyssa Haveson reviews this video of an Overhead Press and identifies a common unracking mistake. 

 

She then goes on to review two types of overhead press unracking mistakes and how to properly unrack the overhead press so you don't hurt yourself and can perform the lift well.
