You strict press 140 for a triple but jerk 260?[/quote]
Unsurprising to me. One point in college I was sohp’ing 155 for a single and push pressing 230 for a single. some people just dont know how to use their legs on that shit. i always think its weird when dudes strict 205 and push 225, jerk 245

Do you pause like that IRL? LOL but seriously this is pretty much the synopsis as pertains to my push press as well. If I made it a priority, it would skyrocket but at the expense of some starting strength.
Last time I tried, I strict pressed 185x3 and could only push-press 205x1. I had a buddy in college that was about 150lb, and he could jerk 225x12 with ease but couldn’t strict press his bodyweight. All about if you’ve been trained to do it right. I get nothing out of the legs.

Word to the wise, if you want to get stronger for football, do not split up body parts like this. This is not bodybuilding
Day 1 - lower
Day 2 - upper
day 3 - off
Day 4 - upper
Day 5 - off
Day 6 - upper
Day 7 - off
Repeat
That is all you need to do, trust me I have been training purely for power and explosiveness and this helps the most, I am 170 5"7’ and if I didnt run so damn much year round for track and actually tried to get big, I could be 185 right now of quality mass. If you are not juicing, and are looking for power, stick to upper/lower split and only do 5 sets of 4-6 movements. On leg day only do 2-3 movements, squat deadlift, and maybe leg press
