My lower back hurts during military press, am I doing something wrong? - posture belt

In press to feel my lower back is stressed. Should I wear a belt? It seems that my breasts were pushed aside. My position is wrong?

I think your back hurts because you bow, lifting the mass. Military presses are made with a stable position. I prefer to have one foot in front of the other. In addition, you will never press the weight overhead. The press should be slightly forward.

A belt is to prevent strip breaks.
If you have back pain, does not hurt you back to the lighter and more reps. If you continue with heavy weights will hurt you.
It seems that his position is correct. An angle of the chest forward, you lose the bone support and using the muscles around the elevator. Finally, they are tired and that's where it hurts.

Yes, you stand with your legs together ... You try one leg backward and leaning forward. Start with light weights for a few weeks until a good technique overall. The effect lasts before the bar reaches chest ... should be left up to the chin. In addition, you can also use a belt ... I do not use, but I think it is designed to help your stomach.

You can also press and seated shoulder press you back against the backrest. The increase of the rack wheel slightly below shoulder height as the bar can be easier to assemble and tortured. Position the seat so it does not take the cash amounts, but close enough for easy mounting and rack.

Belt use is generally a good idea, especially when lifting heavy loads. If you have pain, then try to use the belt and see if it helps.

I can not tell if your technique of making a mistake, not looking too wise, but I can say that in general, if something hurts something is wrong.

It could be that we are training the upper body and your core muscles (especially the abdominal and lower back) overtraining inadequate.

Do not forget to train everything equally.
