Short instructional segment from a Ben Greenfield YouTube video ("Press Drill Mat") giving coaching cues for a press-assist drill. Key instructions: keep legs straight, place hands down, create a flat/flattened body (not rounded), rock into hands to lift feet slightly to assist pressing height, progress by controlling more as strength increases, and avoid jumping or bending the knees.
All right, you want to do this drill only.
When you can keep your legs straight and put your hands down. And you started to get a flat body. None of this not super round. Try to flatten out. This is going to assist you on your press this height, so you're just going to rock into your hands and try to pick your feet up a little bit.
As you get stronger, you start controlling more.
Never jump, never bend your knees.
If you can only do this.
And that's what you do.
