Spinal Control in Overhead Pressing

Control your Spine, Control your Body: Overheard movements tend to bring out any control or mobility deficits we have. Especially movements that are of the Overhead squat type. The strict press doesn't require as much full body mobility, but it does require a high amount of full body control. Often times mobility restrictions cause us to sacrifice control and facilitate poor patterns. During the press when your midline breaks/your back arches/you poke your booty out (it's not cute) ... It's a loss of control or even a voluntary sacrifice of control for mobility, or A SACRIFICE OF CONTROL FOR A SCORE.... The problem is that when we do this we sacrifice power and if you have a history of back pain, you'll likely fell the consequences of this later on in the day. Stop the rib pop, keep your back straight.
