It just goes up slow. Flexing the lats will only aid in the first couple fo inches. You need stronger arms and shoulders for the press. Try adding overhead dumbbell triceps extensions. However, flexing the glutes and gripping tightly WIll help. Yavor Darren, it’s not technique. It just goes up slow. Flexing the lats will only aid in the first couple fo inches.

I've found my military press has never increased in poundages the way I have done with other exercises. Maybe it's my technique. Do you suggest flexing the upper back when pressing? Tnx Great post!

So I've listed most of what I learned here. I still need to update the page though - it's nearly 2 years old... p.s. once again - your transformation is fantastic! Jordan,

But for full ROM handstands or any other feat, the best thing is to practice the movement itself. Cheers, Yavor Tyciol,
