Barbell OHP Issues When I Go Heavy

I'm still relatively newer to the lift, but I like the head nod cue. I rack the bar near my collar bone and when I push up I lift my chin, and then once the bar clears my face I bring my chin down/head forward. That Chinese style push press article I posted a bit back had the lifter start with the head at a 45 degree upward angle.

It's interesting how many different ways there are to press.

Thanks guys. You are right. I have almost no pelvic motion. I'm trying to prevent pelvic motion. Standing very straight. And the bar is starting very low (almost to my nipples).

That's how I was taught in high school. The difference between an over head press and strict military press.

I'll try some of these suggestions. Thanks.
