It's not the best for a vertical press, because you are going overhead and you need the scapula to upward rotate as you push up. In a pulldown, it might help cue you to maintain that slight rotation torque as you pull down. Again, light resistance just to create some awareness :)
i think the intial information you give about the why, of the ratio, is half right. It is true, but the main reason for the pull ratio higher than the push is because we are forward curling creatures, we sit in the womb that way, we sleep that way and some people work all day that way, so it only goes to figure if you workout that way, that could be detrimental to your health... I dont disagree with what you say in this video but if you are going to put a video out you should include more than what you think the history is and maybe attend some lectures by people who have studied it extensively.
Thanks for your reply! Here are my thoughts - 1) I agree with your comment about us being forward curling creatures and am pretty sure my wording of "not feeding into that posture" is us saying the same thing in a different way; 2) Doesn't that mean that we both "think the history" is the same?; 3) You can also pull wrong, and thus will still be feeding into your "forward curling" behavior (I develop on this even further in the article that is linked to this video)...and 4) I have attended countless lectures, conferences and courses and have over 20 years experience in the industry... I think I have studied this extensively.
