I moved in my grip and started trying to incorporate the hip thrust this week.
It's almost like learning a new lift and I can tell its going to take a while to ramp back up 
AdrianK - That's some interesting technique tweaks in that Rippetoe vid. A lot of what he is teaching there with the forward hip movement and body bowing is technique that lead that to the difficulty in judging and the eventual elimination of the strict press as one of the Olympic lifts. At first I was watching it thinking that you couldn't really count it as a strict press because it is kind of a cheat technique but he is right you end up doing that with your hips either way just in a different order making it less effective. So might as well reverse the order and take advantage of it rather than lose power to it and miss lifts that you could be hitting. I'm going to start experiments with this technique.
I haven't watched them yet, but I saw that Rippetoe posted these videos showing that Olympic style overhead press. I'm guessing that this guy inspired Rippetoe to change his press technique.
