Form guide
Overhead Press
The overhead press is a standing (or seated) press from the shoulders to lockout. A strict press and a push press use different leg drive. Log them apart if you care about the strict-press PR.
Squeeze the glutes and keep the ribs down so the lower back does not take the rep.
Finish with the bar over the middle of the foot, not out in front of the face.
If you sat down or used leg drive, pick the exercise name that says so.
