@girlforgod90 Yeah, I'm still within my first year. I'm actually relieved if that's the case.. if it looks like I'm doing okay, I'll keep chipping away at it. I was afraid it was because I was doing something very wrong and was missing it.

@girlforgod90 I keep my feet hip width apart. Previously, I've done 3x8 at 25kg and 3x12 at 20kg. Elbows up, tight core, buns, and legs. I don't actually think of keeping tension in my legs, I didn't even realize it. Thank you very much!

@terranova Haha, thank you! I actually learned the hip thrust from Alan Thrall's videos so it makes me proud it was noticed that I was doing it well enough! I actually would love any further advice or pointers you can give me! Thank you so much!

@derfw Thank you! I appreciate the support :D

@lavone Argh, I'm really bad about that, even when I'm conscious of it. I always think I'm going to hit my face. The bracing I think I could definitely be stronger/more consistent in. Thanks for those queues.

@marilt I definitely want to give it a try. Oh and thank you for the stacking tip!

@marilt That was a great walkthrough, thank you so much. Your explanation was great and really helpful. The breath in the cheeks is interesting, that's a nifty trick.

So, I love shoulder day (dat burn) but the OHP always frustrates me. I would totally appreciate some pointers or help, please! For set up, I keep my thumbs at my armpits for the distance on the bar, turn my hands so the bar is laying along my thumb crease, keep my elbows tight into my lats...
