CoC#3 Posted September 12, 2009 Author Share Posted September 12, 2009 Cheers guys ! I might make a 300 strict press a goal, aswell as continuing with the push jerks so i continue to improve my technique. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tja Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Damn that's huge weight overhead. Well done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Great job Sam. Looks like I have some catching up to do. -Rex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoC#3 Posted September 12, 2009 Author Share Posted September 12, 2009 Cheers tja! I think a bit of work on push jerking will get you to 350+ Rex. According to Chris' definition earlier in this thread the most i've ever push pressed is 308. The rebend/catch probably has probably given me 30lbs or so. How's the RC?

According to Chris' definition earlier in this thread the most i've ever push pressed is 308. The rebend/catch probably has probably given me 30lbs or so. How's the RC? It's getting better. Today I did some pause sets in the rack with 275 (bench press), just because I didn't have a good spotter handy and I wasn't sure what to expect on my first day benching in about 25 days. A little pain, but not the bad kind. I'm sure we would all be jerking 400 pounds or more if we spent as much time as Olympic lifters do dicking around with form. I just can't be bothered to go that route, though, because weightlifting seems to do nothing for me but cause atrophy and weakness. -Rex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MANTHOS Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Congrats Sam... That was powerful and we have a winner here... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoC#3 Posted September 13, 2009 Author Share Posted September 13, 2009 Good news on the RC Rex. Agreed on the oly lifting. That being said, form is a big part of being able to put big weight overhead IMO. Unless you are a monster with a huge bench and crazy tricep power you need half decent tech to get anywhere. Savickas and Glenn Ross are examples of 2 beasts who can just strict press 400lb+ is they need to. Thanks Manthos. Your 340lbs looked very easy i wouldn't be suprised if you had 350 there now. You do a proper push press aswell so when you do 350 it will be a better lift than what i did anyway. Now if you could give me some of your strict strength i'd be happy! I'm going to carry on posting my overhead workouts here, but am not going to max it for a while. The main short term goal now is the 350 bench.

Guest Bullitt Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 After benching Saturday I did some pressing work: Seated press: 135X10 185X6 225Xfail (almost got it. I think fresh, it would have gone up for a new PR) 205X2 One arm strict presses with 60lb KB: 1X10 each arm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoC#3 Posted September 14, 2009 Author Share Posted September 14, 2009 225 will go up soon. Back off next time and do 185x3x3 or something lighter then go for it the week after! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Great overhead technique Sam,Glad I didn't enter this race as I can see 180kg going up for you before the end of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike I would recomend the day you're going for a PR at seated presses you hit the exercise as you said....fresh. Your shoulder muscles allready tired from the bench presses....and something else...try to add another set from 185 to 225 , let's say 200-205 for a couple of reps , so your muscles adjust better for your top weight. Next time 225 is for sure.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should enter anyway mate! Thanks, 180kg might be doable by year's end. I might try it at the whey power challenge if Steve decides on a press/jerk from the rack as being one of the events.

Guest Bullitt Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Awesome job Manthos! Strong stuff buddy! I'll tell you what, if you guys are going for 400, I will raise my goal to 275lbs. Great stuff everybody! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I highly believe that you're capable of pressing that weight Sam. I will rest a little bit (I said that millions of times) , let my body recover 100% and I will try to follow you my friend. I'll keep posting my workouts here (light or heavy) and I believe I'll motivate you as you motivate me for the big lifts my friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
