The correct finishing position for press, push press, and thruster (A)
is the same - the bar back over the shoulders, in line with the spine at
the base of the neck. The most common error is a forward finish (B),
easy to commit and bad-habit-forming with light weight, inefficient
and detrimental at heavier weight. Causes are incorrect elbow position
(C shows correct position with elbows forward of the bar, D shows elbows behind the bar and out of position), or pressing early before the torso is upright, which also takes the leg drive component out of the movement (E).
