I know it's in Pavel's Power to the People book, but I'm short on money. I just need to know how to do a side press, can anyone give me pictures and details on how to do it? I tried it once with my sword as the barbell, but when I bent to the side, it strained by back. I know that it's not suppose to strain your back, so I must be doing it wrong.
The way I did it was that I was gonna lift the sword (bar) with my right hand. I had my feet slightly less than shoulder width apart. Then I pointed my right foot inward slightly and straightend the leg. Then I stuck my hip out trying to go under the weight on my right hand. Then I bent sideways and lifted the bar up but I felt a strain on my back. I kept my back straight, but still more strain. Can anyone help? Thanks.
