The great part about using the Yoke Bar for this, other than it being really cool, is the pads act as a guide to facilitate good form.

The horizontal pad gives you a target to move toward your face and to ensure the bar is being pressed evenly. The pads also help keep your elbows healthy by facilitating good form.

Cues:

4. Press up in a fluid motion using the same path created by the eccentric
