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.
