What do you think ? Is my torso oscillating too much?

#

I don’t have a bench atm but am I better off on a regular dining chair ?

Meaning: I don’t have anywhere to rest / lean the back onto

#

Im only doing it seated because of the ceiling height

Seems fine; you can likely arch a bit back to allow you a bit more freedom of movement. Your forearms are occassionally not straight under the bar, might lose stability as it gets harder

Thanks

Sounds difficult to lean back without a back rest 😅

Just allow yourself to move back and make room for the barbell

#

standing ohp does it, you should have no issue

Okay but isn’t that what I’m doing already ? Leaning back and then moving forward as I push my head “through the window”?

dapper sand Okay but isn’t that what I’m doing already ? Leaning back and then moving forwar...

you're straightening your body upright again at the bottom

#

this isnt required and is pushing your arms forward

#

rather, dont need to fully straighten
