ok. that's fair i suppose. i only max once every 2-3 weeks. next one will be regular. i just don't like the way my shoulders feel when i fail without the bars to halfdump it on

A rack press is not a OHP anymore than a rack pull is a deadlift. Is it nit picky? Sure. But there are definitely movement standards everyone acknowledges here.

An easy fix to this is to just set your safeties a little lower so that you are starting the press from an unaided standing position.

 

[JimRussel]

Dude, thats not a press. Your legs blatantly bend and straighten mid lift.

This.

That's me wobbling not using my legs, but like I say in the description I need to clean this up.

Doesn't matter. Legs should be flexed so hard they can't bend, anyway.

Off the rack = no press. That's a huge asterisk to the lift.

Also this.

No one gives a damn about squat PRs. The common people care about bicep PRs.

Nice.

You really ought to do some sort of celebratory flexing after that. Although I can understand that maybe you don't want to make everyone else feel inferior. It's very considerate of you, really.

Finally, someone with some class and sophistication shows up to recognize true athletic greatness. You know me, JA, I don't want to leave these men with their spirits broken if I were to flex. I just want them to Bolieve!!!!!!!

One of the reasons you do keep breaking these athletic barriers is that you do Bolieve.
