Its Monday so that means I put things over my head and it was a good one!
Hey Kalle. Sorry if someone has already asked this, but whats with the pressing while seated like that?
Doesn’t it put more strain on the lower back?
I’m keen on giving them a shot, but I’m kinda freaked out I might hurt myself somehow.

No worries. its called a Zydrunas press, Zydrunas Savickas does these and he has I believe the strongest shoulders in the world.
They hurt my low back LESS as if you try to lean back like I do on a standing press when it gets heavy. you have to stay super tight and upright or you fall over as You can see I almost did a few times. really targets core and shoulders
Nice work, Kalle. Reminds me I have some video from this past week to post. Nothing like your log press unfortunately.
Has anyone told you that you have a really white garage?

Nicely done, you look a lot thinner what are you weighing?
Help the db down with the other hand though can’t be good on the shoulder dropping it like that!

Thanks my friend. It was not my intention to drop the DB like I did, but momentum got the better of me. I think I might be good for a few more reps if I can work on my catch a bit.
I still am hovering around 240. Right now, depending on scheduling, I will be doing a meet in late march.
I’ve really enjoyed all of the videos you guys are posting.
Good job to all!
Keep 'em coming.

The z-press is this months challenge within a challenge. We are trying for body weight (close or better) with videos due by the 25th. Come join in the fun.

Yep, spoke about it a few pages back. I think bw will be difficult which is why I think it is a good challenge. (It is humbling as well.). My first attempt left me 15 lbs short.
If we all fall short them we all have a good laugh. If a couple of people actually pull it off them they get lauded like gods until the next challenge.
Bear in mind I knixed the squating snatch grip press. That made the z-presses feel simple.

I did these early this year, BUT my MP and Push Press has gone up since then. I was going to do them today but was a little pressed for time so just did a finisher.
I do agree would love to see some videos of people trying the BW.
