CoC#3 Posted September 17, 2009 Author Share Posted September 17, 2009 Manthos, you sir are a beast. You definitely have the ability to press 180kg it's just a matter of a few months training. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

underdawg Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Some great work going on in here by everybody! Mind if I join the race late? I need some motivation, since I'm not training for anything in particular at the moment.

MANTHOS Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Thank you all for your comments! My friend Sam, we reached our goal (of pressing overhead 160kgs) about 3 and a halh months earlier! If you want, lets see what we can do by the end of the year......! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoC#3 Posted September 20, 2009 Author Share Posted September 20, 2009 IMO, 400lbs is bordering on a world class push press. There are plenty of top strongman competitiors who can't do it. So Manthos, if you can get this it is truly something special. 450 the way i push weight overhead (push jerk i.e. with leg rebend) would be of the same standard.

CoC#3 Posted September 21, 2009 Author Share Posted September 21, 2009 Good stuff What's your PR on push press John? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoC#3 Posted September 21, 2009 Author Share Posted September 21, 2009 Strict presses tonight, standing, up to a new PR of 270lbsx1. I failed 275lbs just past the head, but then straight away hit it for a double with loose knees (i.e. not completely strict sort of how the oly lifters used to do their presses in the latter days of it if you get what i mean). I also strict pressed 220x7 afterwards, but on the last rep i leant back more than usual and popped my SI joint a bit. My SI has been an ongoing problem sometimes i just pop it and a few days later the pain has gone again. I really need to get it sorted but with the current money situation i can't afford to see an oesteopath or even a physio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's good to work strict presses...It will help with the push presses. As for your injury my friend check it out as soon as posible....don't leave it.

CoC#3 Posted September 22, 2009 Author Share Posted September 22, 2009 Manthos, thanks! I've had SI joint issues for a while. It is a strange injury, some days i am not aware of it, others it is quite painful. For some reason, it has never affected squats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
