Cut back a little on the press to leave room for ramping. I'm a little unsure on the form cause my chin gets in the way of the bar when I push it up from my cheset. I'm supposed to tilt my head back to make room for the bar, right?

In order to properly do the press the bar must go striaght and not be moved forward or back during the lift. Grip the bar a little wider than shoulder width and push elbows forward. Press above your head and keep body straight and head tilted back slighty to avoid hitting the nose. Once its above your head you then psuh your body under the bar.

Don't worry about coming too close to the bar, I didnt learn until I actually made contact and then I NEVER made the same mistake.
