Ribs flaring in overhead press

Problem: ribs flaring in overhead press What goes wrong: Athletes often rush this movement without proper positioning, which loads the wrong tissues and reduces effectiveness. Cue: Ribs down, glutes tight Fix: Squeeze glutes, exhale at lockout, and avoid hyperextending lumbar spine. Practice with a controlled tempo for 2-3 sets of 8-10 reps. Film yourself from the side to confirm the correction sticks before adding load.
