standing, strict - no leaning back, no leg drive. And no belt
back when I used to train my upper body, all I do is squat these days
close grip benching helps em a lot, I could close grip bench 295lbs back then with no arch or leg drive. The ratio between the 2 lifts has always been around 70% for me
2 weeks ago I hit a PR on seated BB press past my chin (around 3-4 inches from my chest) of 205 pounds. Iām usually good for 185 for 3 or 4. Canāt wait for 225
Did 125 for 5, 5, 3 the other day, have done 140 for the same in the past when I was heavier. Guessing my 1RM is 155 or a little more. Always been a lift Iāve had trouble making progress on, as opposed to seated dumbbell pressing.
175x1
That was a little over a month ago at a BW of about 180. I think its decently strict. I got it again a little easier in a subsequent workout.
Iāve wanted a strict BW press for awhile and feel Iām almost there. Actually, I havenāt overhead pressed much since then and my bench has shot upā¦so I think I could get it now. Hmmmā¦might have to try next time.
Chump weight- 225 is my best ever. I think shove more up but my instability and lack of coordination would probably no allow it. But pin presses from ear height, I have hit 315 for a double.
