Jane Michel Senior Member Join Date: May 2007 Posts: 267	Head position on lockout of press (Duplicate post at CF forums) I was doing push presses today as part of a WOD and a personal trainer came to me and said that I was pushing my head too far forwards and that I should keep it straight, because pushing the head that far forwards strains the neck. Later on I checked my head position in the mirror and it looked as far forwards as these two pictures: http://www.board.crossfit.com/attach...1&d=1238831919 http://www.board.crossfit.com/attach...2&d=1238832002 What the trainer demonstrated looked like this: http://www.board.crossfit.com/attach...3&d=1238832032 Is there a right or wrong or good or bad? Where should the head be? Does it matter? __________________ Robb Wolf: I'd throw my hat in with the bleached, de-nuded bagel. Live dangerously.
