OHP Form Check

Wanted to get a form check video up while the weight was still light;

While watching it I noticed my upper body bobbing more than I'd like. I move my head forward to ensure I lock the weights at the top, but I need to be more mindful of my torso.

I'd say it look pretty good. I would just suggest trying to add some force into the lift if you can, push with controlled momentum.0 -

Looks great to me! It looks like the bar is pretty much traveling straight up as it it supposed to. Your elbows also seem to be in a good starting position
I should record a video and post it also. My form is much worse and I am currently stalled on OHP. For one thing I don't think my bar path is nearly as straight and my elbows are too far back at the start.0 -

Looked good to me. It just didn't look like you were trying very hard if I'm honest. Add weight!0

Gotcha. 180lbs would be a pipe dream for me. I just started SL myself, best I've ever done is 145x1 or 120x5.0 -

I think your form looks good. But you should be cleaning that weight up from the floor, lifting off the squat rack is cheating!0
