Low bar press

 Decided to give this a go and it went very very well for a first try

The last time I tried this I didn't know  how to initiate the press; to pull the trigger with my  hips far in front. I was trying to hip drive to start it but there was nowhere to  go

Today after I set the arch the trigger was pushing the bar back.

Have to get my elbows up a bit more next time to really send the bar back

If they are just under me the bar goes forward more than I want it too

Low Bar Press

1) Low rack setup/ false grip

2) Crawl under bar, hips in front. Slowly

3) Elbows up

4) Lock knees , pushup on bar to unrack

5) Push bar BACK to start

 This went VERY well almost all reps identical. Realized I get better drive AND minimize shoulder stress if I unrack it with more weight on ...
