Choosing front squats instead of back squats.
I’m curious as to why you chose the push press. The barbell push press isn’t (and wasn’t ever) a competition event anywhere, as far as I know. I don’t say that to knock your goal or the exercise. I just wonder if you might find more success and satisfaction working towards an overhead competition event such as those in olympic lifting or strongman. So what exactly attracted you to having a massive push press instead of a massive clean and jerk, snatch, strict press, log press, or axle clean and press?

Whenever the day comes I would like to compete in the MHP powerlifting contest. It consists of bench, squat, deadlift, and push press. It’s raw lifts and I saw Rob Wilkerson put up an insane 4 lift total and ever since then I wanted to do that. Also not including competitions where there’s the basic Big 3 or ones with all 4 of those
Learn to grind
that’s ridiculous
There’s an old thread on this:
In to follow this one. I’m looking to strict press 200 in 2013. I hit 135 X 8 on Tuesday.

That takes a heck of a set of abs to do that. If I have to grind an OHP I usually end up missing because I lean backwards too much… an obvious weakness I’m working on.
