Damn, I just totally skipped over that post somehow. Very nice SOHP numbers. I'll have to watch it again, but the first thing I noticed was your forearms should be in front of the bar:

^Look halfway down

Right now they are about perpendicular with the ground. I'll have to watch it again to see if I notice anything else, but it looked great. Nice song, BTW.

EDIT: Watching it again, your elbows are further ahead of the bar than I thought. Maybe try resting the bar a little higher in the starting position. Kind of hard to tell from that angle...

Ya I wasn't sure how far to stick my elbows out with SOHP/Push Press. I try to keep them out a lot with front squats and cleans, but wasn't sure about presses. Thanks for the link

[Diesel6]

Just realized you said critique PP. They look awesome. Did you feel like you could've gone higher, or did 160 feel like all you could do?

[ThinkGreen]

Ya I probably could of put up more than 160, but it was my 8th set so I just stopped. This was also my first time doing heavy PP's in a while, as well as the first time ever lifting with wrist wraps/a belt
