Visualize something similar to what you do in a getup - you push into the ground, and it ripples back up your body, across your torso and into the opposite side shoulder. Here, visualize the push going up your body, into your shoulders. (Opposite sides are still good - right foot into left shoulder, left foot into right shoulder.) I like to continue the imaginary energy path, visualizing the energy coming through my shoulders and going up and into the bar so that the ripple ends up pushing the bar away from me.I have gotten better at the drive with the legs since that last video above; in fact, I got too good at it (?) such that at the end of December when I tested my 1RM, I pressed a good weight (130 lb) but my butt lifted off the bench so the rep was no good. I tried twice more afterwards and pressed it both times, but again same thing
