Overhead
The Bar Finishes Out Front, Not Actually Overhead
The fault
Leaving the bar in front of the body and calling it locked out.
Why it happens
Most lifters who leave the bar out front do not have a strength problem, they have a definition problem. They have never been shown where overhead actually is.
The fix
A short explanation of where the bar needs to sit relative to the body. Once you can see it, you can find it.
