I think most days after I do OHP, I’ve felt like I got a crick in my neck, so I think I’m doing something wrong. Idk what though, any common mistakes in form or something that cause this?

    where are you looking during the movement (don’t look up, or try to follow the bar with your eyes) you want a fixed point on a wall to stare at so your neck is straight during the press

    also, there’s a certain movement of your upper back (it’s probably got a name but I forget), basically you need to move your chin/head out of the barpath and then sort of tuck under after the bar clears your face. You do this by moving in/out the whole upper body/back, not just the neck area or head

    Idk these two could probably lead to neck pain if done incorrectly
