I made a little breakthrough on the press. Instead of looking at myself in the mirror as I lifted, I started looking up at the bar as it rises. This puts a little more bend in my back and keeps the bar path straight, with no forward lean. I still need to get used to it -- in particular, I need to find the right amount of back lean -- but it definitely felt stronger.
