OHP : Lat activation?

>>40231903
Lats play a stabilizing role during the bottom portion of the OHP. Unless you're a complete novice, they won't feel like they're being worked. Leaning back slightly for the bottom part of the OHP is normal. Just keep lifting.

Yes, the lats are important in the OHP. Watch this video thoroughly and pay attention

I'm currently at work, so I can't watch it, but will do! Thanks for the reassurance.

Try not to bend back too much though, or you will strain your lower back something fierce and be out for a couple of weeks

t. someone who did exactly that

it means your doing it right. Your scapula elevated like it should be during over head movements.

good on you senpai

It is normal. You can also feel them when locking out because they get stretched quite heavily in this position. I actually had DOMS in my lats from OHPing the first couple times I did it.
