it's good to see that i haven't been doing this wrong, i'm quite bulky particularly in the chest shoulders and arms, and so i haven't been able to get into a proper front rack position, and i'd been worrying that it was limiting me or setting me up for injury. but with my arms locked into my lats and my biceps tight against my forearms, there's only about half an inch of give when i push out of the bottom and it has always felt very stable. been doing push press for five months, hit 200lbs last week.
This is sooo difficult to achieve..but once you get all the steps on place the weight flys up! It just 'feels' good rep after rep. Its taken me nearly 2 years to work out all the steps and prompts in this video...fantastic video please keep it up👍
Idk man I have pretty long arms but i feel like can engage my lats more and have more speed and better elbow positioning with a closer grip. Better stability also. Maybe its just an individual preference. Either way great video thank you.
Great video! The small dip is definitely an overlooked cue and i found it allows me to push the bar up with its oscillation. I like to use the idea of not letting your knees go past your toes during the dip
keep my butt under my head, got it. ive been pushing my knees forward thinking i need to use hip drive. my legs have felt useless so ive been strict pressing.
Thanks for the video. Hitting a plateau the last few weeks at 190 lbs. Want to hit 225 before the end of the year. Working on more front squats and tricep lockout work like JM presses and incline close grip with the multi grip bar and a neutral grip. I'm 51 and this is my favorite exercise by far, the technique demands and the concentration involved are incredible. I think I need to add some lighter weight push press on the way down to reinforce these tips. Thanks!
@@RageMagikarp nope, got a little busy with work, stuck at 210 right now. Hit 185 for 4 yesterday but need more than 2 days a week in the gym which has been the issue for a few months
great video Alex. I've done pretty much most press variations but have never push pressed and will be implementing them soon. I know it will be a learning curve. Thanks for the great content
Thank u I have to do push press in the ne program I'm doing and it feels a bit awkward and I have to practice more. Your tips are helpful thank u again!
My Pushpress never increased my strict press , but vice versa it did happen... Furthermore I start every press with the bar on my chest, not from a floating position...
@@zyncarla Don't have really long arms...could not be the reason. the hardest part of the strict press is from clavicles to eyelevel, maybe a bit higher but then it gets really easy. And this hard part does not get worked well with Push Press.
Jeez I hit 315 for a single strict form and dislocated my right shoulder because my right are is 2 inches shorter. I can't imagine packing another 100lbs onto my ohp.

No one has this type of advanced information unless you've been pressing for 15 years plus! Amazing stuff

Thank you, one of the best tutorial on how to push press, I've been doing it wrong

Honestly it's a weird one, I'm coached by someone who's competed at wsm finals, he's never given me any of these cues tbh.
@@getstrongby4038 theres many diffrent events at wsm whats your point
First 2/3 was stuff I knew. Last 1/3 was me learning everything I did from the moment my knees bent was wrong.

Have you hit 225 yet?
@@ethan9841 not yet, at 205. Had some time off with the flu and then was out of town so training slowed for 2 months. Hopefully in the next 8 weeks
@@mactimo333 Did you do it?
@@RageMagikarp nope, got a little busy with work, stuck at 210 right now. Hit 185 for 4 yesterday but need more than 2 days a week in the gym which has been the issue for a few months
How about now dawg? You get it?
Great video! Your channel is really underrated!
Love your channel! Please do more programming and periodisation videos :)

You probably have longer arms I’m in the same boat I’m strongest with a medium grip off my chest

The discrepancy in volume from speech to music - eardrum destroyer. Gyatdammm.
Anyway, great vid. I learned a lot. Thank you.
the 5 ppl who downvoted are ppl with no biceps and lats
This dudes voice reminds me of jujis lol great video though, love the push press
His voice reminds me of the grandpa from Ben Ten when it aired on Cartoon Network.
@Orlando Denver It didn’t work for me.😢
He looks like Alastair Overeem
Couldn't you eliminate the shoulder crowding/interference at lockout by shrugging up at the top? That's what Rippetoe teaches from what I remember.
Great video and instruction.
How much harder is a 300lb log press vs barbbell press?
Jeez I hit 315 for a single strict form and dislocated my right shoulder because my right are is 2 inches shorter. I can't imagine packing another 100lbs onto my ohp.
Impressive
Bromley is insanely strong
410lbs? My former lateral raise PR for 10x reps
I'd love to get my push press to 315l
The volume on this video is heinous. The info is good though.
Lol This is like the third video I ever made.
Not even a beginner and I'm still watching because numb nuts over here still hasn't figured it out.
12:01 ❤❤❤
you cannot properly demonstrate a push press with submaximal weights
