Standing Overhead Press PR

Nice.

Military Press 76Kg @ 84Kg.

Koing

No. It tore on a 225 bench. I couldnt believe it. I never had any trouble at anytime with my shoulders during my OH presses. Always warmed up, etc. My 185 for 3x3 was the week before it tore. I was thinking I was going to kill my pr. Didn’t happen obviously.

You’ll get back up there. Shit your 600 pull is impressive were are you at now with your rehab? [/quote]

Thanks man.It took me 4 attempts at 4 meets to finally get it. I was hoping to beat that PR in March but I had the surgery in Jan- right before I would have started my training cycle. Rehab is at 75%. I’m strengthening now and had the ok to start pulling last week.

I can do a strict military for about 150#, a push press off the rack at about 170#, and I’ve hit a clean and push press PR at 200#.

What? How do you do press more with a clean than out of the rack?[/quote]

funny, I was kind of wondering how others here press more without the clean. first, let me clarify. I was working the clean and press for a long time and just recently started rotating in some push presses w/o the clean. so, given a little bit more time, i could very well surpass my clean and press PR rather quickly. however, i do feel more comfortable with the clean and press.

granted, cleaning will tax the pressing muscles some, but there is also more momentum on your side (at least that’s how it feels to me,) and it just feels more natural somehow, whereas resting the bar on the upper chest and starting from such a “dead stop” all while maintaing posture…i don’t know…just feels kinda awkward.

to me, it’s related to the deadlift tip that some swear by of not sitting in the bottom position too long because you lose alot of drive.

Only reason I’m responding(I really have begun to hate forums) is maybe I could help someone out. My OH strict press best is 375 with a 405 pushpress done with a minute bit of leg drive. Both walked out from a squat rack.

What worked for me, in no real order -

a. Used bands to train dynamically

b. CW’s supra-maximal holds, which by the way I did using the top end of a smith machine because my gym didn’t have a power rack. I know, I know…

c.Trained it first during the week

d.Isometric training at 3 different angles against the pins of the squat rack also helped a great deal. 3 sets of 5 seconds each with 15 seconds rest at 3 positions.

Have a few other ideas but I might get bashed for them - like I use old western linear periodization and prefer bi-sexual women etcetera
