I haven’t done 1 arm DB OH presses in forever. Might not be a bad choice though, as I need some work on mobility/stability.
Nice pressing Matty, looked like you had 1-2 more in you as fast as that weight flew up.
Thanks bro, I could of probably squeezed at least one more out, but my neck has been giving me issues so Im trying to err on the side of caution.
Seated OH stuff is easier because your back is supported, your core doesn’t have to work as hard, you can use leg drive just like a bench, and you can lean back and bring chest into play as well (because your back is supported).
Conundrum trumps wept every time, college boy. 
Remember Animal House? -Bluto: Christ. Seven years of college down the drain. Might as well join the fucking Peace Corps.

Smart move. It smarter to retreat and live to fight another day. Then to let ones ego over rule ones common sense.
I am the anti presser
squats pull yes
press of any kind no
seated to me is always harder
standing is almost always easier
I think last week I pressed 60s seated and one set standing
nearly died.
One arm presses are the shit lots of ab work there
been messing around with seated on the floor OH presses
those suck ass.

BAND LEG RAISES 15,12,10
NOTES: I am trying a new 8 week program under the tutelage of Germanone, it was hard not to max out today but my will was good and so was my back which made it harder not to pull more weight, but I trust Germanone and firmly believe slow and steady will win the race and keep my back limber…Overall I rowed my ass off today and it felt good.
I have no vids today but on another note, I was tired of all the playlists in my Ipod and I have about 3000 songs in there, so I just shuffled em, man do I have a wide range of tastes…
first
then
THEN!
I love them girls.
Can’t max out all the time. 315 x 5s sounds like a good range. And the band leg raises sound hard.
You’re a monster <3
Well if it works you buy the beers next time i’m in nyc, if not i’ll buy…deal.
nice session
good pulling and allot of rowing
dang I need to get some secret ninja training.
hmmmm.
expound on these band leg raises please
No matter what, next time your in the city hit me up and the dranks are on me, maybe we can get Kevin in out as well…
Kev, I basically wrap the bands around the bottom of the bench and then around my ankles and do leg raises, it tears my core up when I do slow controlled reps.
Hey Nikki thanks! Bands leg raises get hard when you do enough they start to buuurn.
Im down.
I like those band leg raises…
gots to gets the bands
I am still stuck racing home for little man.
DUUUUUUDE!
I’ve been away too long. I had to read four pages to catch up and I’m exhausted. Basically, it all boils down to this:
Blahblahblah… Matty lifts a metric shit-tonne of weight… blahblahblah… Matty busts out another PR… blahblahblah… Matty posts a video and look fucking gigantic… blahblahblah…
I’m so hjealous I could puke. You rock.
If you have pain in your neck that radiates to an extremity you have injured a nerve. For pity’s sake, will you watch that carefully? It will be extremely susceptible to much more severe injury if you crank it again.
strong pressing…damn.
ya, take care of yourself though!!
LOL, Kevin you do what you got to do bro, whenever your ready.
Thanks Kent, its still bothering me actually more severe in the morning, Thanks for the kudos bro!
Thanks MiM
Nerve pain, shmerve pain! Don’t be a pussy. Ignore it and push on through.
