@nakedraygun I usually only train the strict OHP, but this morning when I was done with that, I wondered how much my push press would be. I got 175 at a BW of 185, and you're tons stronger than I am, so with putting it back into your gym activities, you should be able to hit your goal before too long.

@_incogNEATo_ strong man right there...way to grind it up. When was that last T-N-G 1RM? That's a good jump especially going from TNG to paused.
Thanks everybody. Last tested tng was late November I believe. I have it written down somewhere.0 -

Rippetoe and a few others mention using the push press as a way to build explosive power. In fact, I've seen a couple of interviews that Rippetoe has done where that's all he advocates instead of strict OHP.
Eventually I know I'm going to hit a wall with strict OHP (1rm strict is around 175). Once I've tapped that out I figure on switching to the push press and see how far I can take that.

Pendlay's a big fan, too.
I've heard him say in an interview that he would change powerlifting to include PP instead of bench. He also thinks it blows his lifters up when they do a lot if it in their programming...0 -

Thanks @piperdown44 @nakedraygun
My 1RM strict OHP is somewhere around 145-150 I think. If I practiced push press more, I think I could come close to 190-200. I think I could have driven a little more with my legs this morning and tried for 185.0 -
^ This kind of comment irks me.
When I started this thread to post videos of our lifts to share and talk shop I very consciously included clean & jerk and snatch because, after all, we are a community of lifters no matter what our chosen venue is. Guess what, "Functional Fitness" guy we can learn a lot from each other.

After doing a bunch of other stuff (new OHS 1RM, new back squat rep PR), managed a new front squat 1RM: 105kg (~231lb?) @71kg bodyweight.
Got out of my groove a bit, and it all got a bit "dog poopy" in the top half, but I'll take it!
Also: 1st time squatting in Chucks for 14 months, which was a bit weird - but I'll get used to it, I'm sure.0 -

Thanks man! Was a bit weirded out to be squatting in chucks again (it does throw things off a bit going from a heel to a flat again), but was surprised when I started getting PRs all over the place. I would have expected my numbers to dive a bit - at least short term, while I re-grooved...
Anyway, what could be more functional than squatting stuff, picking stuff up and putting stuff overhead?
I guess we're all functional, after all?! 0 -

I took my ring around with the guy in the gaining section that once- I figured no one had commented we were collectively going to let it go LOL- he's clearly doucheymcdoucherson- but eh.
Back on topic- I generally include OHP_ only because I suck at it- If I had my druthers- I would do a push press- I prefer it to OHP. For several reasons- it's easier on my effed up elbows/shoulders and I can control my lordosis a little better- rather than winding up pushing with more back then leg as it gets heavier.
Also- it sucks struggling to push 85 pounds- seriously. Its embarrassing- no matter how much any one says don't mind (including myself) I still hate it. hate hate hate it.
Curse this vagina I have making me chronically weak.0 -

I used to love skating in chucks because they had thin soles and I could feel the board better and thus maintain balance. I would chew threw chucks once every two weeks and have to spend another $20, but it was worth it.
But now, chucks lifting have way to much padding between me and the floor. Did they change construction? Didn't like it one bit then I bought the Reebok lifters and have been happy since.Anyway, what could be more functional than squatting stuff, picking stuff up and putting stuff overhead?

Shhh Jimmer, we need to have unnecessarily petty divisions to feel superior about ourselves over others. Don't intercourse the system!0 -
Push pressing is much easier on my shoulders too. My elbows are healthy again after almost ruining them performing upright rows.

Until I messed up my bicep tendon, push pressing was my primary upper body lift (as in, the one I liked to do the most - and therefore cared about the most!)
I'm hoping that now I'm starting to heal up (testify!) I can rotate it back in again in a few months.

It's like a happy surprise gift being able to do a lift again that you hadn't been able to do for awhile because of injury or whatnot. That's how I feel about pressing again too.nakedraygun wrote: »

Sure is!
I've basically started by adding in some dumbbell push press/jerks after my main bench work. If I can tolerate it for a month or two and am steadily making gains then I'll have a bash with the barbell again. I think that once I get to about half-bodyweight with the dumbbell, then I'm in a good spot...0 -

I will 100% NOT do that lift. EVER.
Upright rows are just torture for me- so for that stuff- I do lateral and front lifts- but not up right rows. getting bigger shoulders aren't worth it.0 -

Other than the some kind of overhead pushing lift, I don't directly train lateral or anterior delts any longer -- they get enough work acting in assistance. (I will do band pulls on them for warm-up and inter-set stretching.)nakedraygun wrote: »

my goal is bigger shoulders- so I've been doing a super set twice a week. usually monday and friday. And it's two separate lifts (front plate raise w/ twist + straight lateral raise) and then the next one is on the bench incline front lat raise (that weird eat the bench one) with reverse fly's. and yeah- totally with funny faces- I make a lot of funny faces. whatever- shoulders shall grow. I COMMAND YOU TO GROW!!! its' one of my few "vain" lifts that I really am not happy with over all on my body- so I spend a little bit of time with them.
I go back and forth on those- it just depends - sometimes my left patella feels tweaky- so I just drop them if I'm not feeling well.The one I never do is lunges of any variety. They always seem to F up my quads and knees. That's one that's not worth it for me.0 -
I was fortunate in that regard. As a kid, my grandfather use to say I was a "little man" because my shoulders were pretty broad. But other than that, all I did for year after year after years was just a high rep giant set of dumbbell lateral and front raises and the rear delt flyes preceded by a press, usually behind the neck military press (and on the smith machine) which gave me all the growth I needed. But everybody's different.my goal is bigger shoulders- so I've been doing a super set twice a week. usually monday and friday.

Hitting them a couple times a week is a good idea. I want to develop my upper and middle back more, as well as my traps so I am hitting rack pulls with a shoulder shrug at the top twice a week. Figured pick an accessory that crossovers to my deadlift.0 -

first, this is hot even with the crazy faces. Just sayin.
second, how heavy are those dbs? I did these yesterday and I won't mention how light mine were, but yours don't look much bigger...so maybe I'm not as weak as I felt.0 -
