Hi CT and others,
I know someone else posted about doing a push-press blitz, but I just wanted to clarify some things before I seriously consider doing it.
For the very heavy day, should we do a top half press as a supramaximal movement, or is there an alternative?
For a maintence movement would it be better to stick to a pull (ie, snatch-grip high pull) or push (front squat) and perform that on a light push-press day?
Any help is appreciated. I’d probably work with 5 days a week, with 2 heavys, 2 very heavys, and a light+ maintence, along with some upper back work using bands everyday (pull-aparts, no-money’s, face pulls, etc).

hello
have you thought about doing push jerk rather than top half press? -more carry over to push pressing, plus it will allow you to get used to heavier weights -something i believe CT aimed to achieve the mixing in low pulls with his high-pull-blitz.
why don’t you have a session dedicated to power cleans and front squats after a light push press workout? all bases covered then especially if you are doing regular upper back work
I’ve been power cleaning the first rep of every set recently, so I guess squatting would be the way to go on the light day. You make a good point about jerking, it’s so obvious now that I think about it! Thanks man
