Thanks haha. The second one was by far the scariest since I started to get my head through. Glad they were bright enough to take that out of your contest, that’s an awesome log press too.
Thanks, said log presses, plan is 240x10 by the time comp rolls around feb 18th
Swolebear, you had that stone flying up. Glad you survived the attempts.
Kalle, impressive.
Very nice Kalle. I need to work on my log press, it throws me off so bad on my dip. Not from the floor but here’s my best push press at 1:35
Is there an advantage for.doing a push press with the bar behind the neck?

Yes good question.

I’ve seen guys start with the bar on shoulders with a wide grip that use a lot leg movement to move the bar a short distance.
Then I have seen a wide grip in front, the old 90 degree thing.
Then there is a narrower cleans grip, which I have been using lately. The 90 grip I used to use until my shoulders played put. Never did the wide behind head.
DJ, the clean grip with a little leg drive has felt good to my shoulders. I think cleans and band work have strengthed them more evenly than they were before.
^ I have a superspinatus tear in both right and left. Cant do pullups, dips or anything really wide grip anymore. I do all the shoulder rehab stuff, dislocates, band pull a parts etc. I have had graston etc also
I dont want surgery, fucking sucks being out of the game for months to rehab so I keep putting it off.

I found that pressing out of the catch position I was really utilizing my tris, probably the only exercise I found to really hit them without elbow or wrist issues. Anyway, as I made the shift more to my shoulder (chronicled above) my shoulders feel better. I think getting everything more equal has really helped. Been down cleans and presses at least twice a.week and pressing either overhead or chest once or more a week as well. The idea that if everything is a little tired its safer route. I can actually sleep on my side now.

I know what that is like. Well, if I sit on the floor or lean forward while sitting my legs go numb after five minutes. Found I can still go up stairs with only partial feeling in one leg and the sandbag tingled in the other leg.
Man, getting old sucks.

Have three disc herniations in the lower back, believe me I know how you feel.
Stupid improper lifting when I was younger.
I had to drop weight and work on flexibility and not work on JUST the big 4.
I am getting better though, just sucks about the nagging aches and pains.
Have no idea what its like to go through a day with pain though.

My issues started at 22 thanks to a van. I feel better now than anytime since. Oly work dropping the bar at top has really helped my nervous system, the root of my shoulder issues.

We talked about getting one at our gym, probably have to buy myself and just bring up there.
I know the owner we are friends.
Maybe he would give me break on monthly dues.

You will get much better leg drive and since it is already behind your head it will be easier to lock out so you can use more weight. Personally I’ve never done them. I tried them a few times and it just felt odd

Its a great piece of equipment and you talking about shoulder pain the neutral grip is way easier on my shoulders. Ive abused the hell out of mine for years now and the loading pins are a bit bent now but I blame my freak training partner for pressing 405 on the damn thing and doing 310 clean eqch for reps…
