@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 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.
