I love doing overhead pressing on a swiss ball. Never really tried regular presses. Is it a nightmare to balance?



Posted by: P-funk

overhead presses sitting or standing on the swiss ball?? I used to squat on the swiss ball when I was into balance training.

the bench press with dumbells on the swiss ball isn't that hard. I just do it every now and again as it is great core work (especially for the obliques). The hardest part is sitting down and lying back into position.



Posted by: Saturday Fever

I'll do most of my OH DB Presses sitting on a ball. It's great. I have to try pressing db's on a ball now.



Posted by: P-funk

yeah, overhead preses sitting on ball are killer. I like those too. The ball has its place in the gym. I think a lot of guys dismiss it as chick shit. But, it can be beneficial to throw some ball work in every now and again.

Comments:
Cleans felt good. Went light and worked on form and over exagerating it by dropping into the hole more and quickening my foot speed. The weight was easy but the pace (60sec rest) made it hard. Squats were tough at 30sec rest and following cleans. I was pretty winded during the squats. Did some leg curls. No SLDLs today because my hammies were tired from the cleans and my lower back had a great pump going from the quick sets of squats and my pull during the cleans so I decided not to go nuts with the SLDLs today. Man I am tired. I wish I had time for a nap!! I have been up since 4:30 and am operating on only 5hrs of sleep!! BLAH!

All the year's of hearing this phrase and wouldn't it make sense to think if it was true then nice guys would have all the women... If nice guys always finished last, like in the sheets, they would have lots of women

damn!! I really blew it out today. I had to check my ego and drop the weight to make sure I could get the given number of reps for the given number of sets across the board all with a 30sec rest interval. It was tough as hell. I really though I was going to puke. by the time I got to barbell curls I barely had grip to hold the bar. This was a good workout. If there is one good thing that comes out of me getting my hear broken it is that I workout so much harder. I focus better as I take on the attitude that I don't need anyone and I push myself more and more. This workout was brutal on me.

I didn't time rest intervals becasue I was working out with my training partner today (we had been off schedule for the past couple of weeks because he coaches high school soccer so he can't make the workouts all the time until the season is over). Everything was you go I go and we busted out asses as usual. The overhead presses felt great. 195 was easy actually and my training partner commented that I proabably should have done triples or upped the weight. Oh well, next time. For the single arm dumbell bench presses we decided to have the no working hand empty, instead of holding a counter weight, to place greater demand on our obliques and core. It felt good. My tri's were fried by the time we got to close grip inclines. This was only the second time I have ever done this exercises but it felt great, really brutal. With the pace we were moving at I had to drop weight to keep my reps about 8 today. V-bar pressdowns and some core and I called it a day. Pretty good workout.



Posted by: PreMier

Nice workout man. I am up 4lbs on you today



Posted by: Monolith

Very nice OH BB press... cant wait to see you back at 225.



Posted by: CowPimp

I like the unilateral DB bench. I'll have to try that at some point. That sounds like a great variation for someone like me, who works out at home with limited equipment. Nice numbers too.



Posted by: P-funk

thanks gents....

P- you suck!

Mono- I know! I am so pumped. Once I can pop 225 standing overhead I will be pretty happy. Onca I get back from vegas I am going to do a full on Olympic traiing cycle so I shoul able able to get up there then.

Cow- yeah, the unilateral bench press is rough when you leave the non-working hand empty. Once there is no counter weight it gets tricky to balance yourself out.

Funk, what your opinions on standing vs. seated overhead press?



Posted by: P-funk

Quote:

Dunacn, I much prefer the standing to the seated overhead press for a varitey of reasons:

1) A greater demand is placed on the core when you are standing up as your base of supprt is less (the distance btw your feet and in my case really small becasue I stand feet together) than if you were to sit (the distance between your feet and the distance between your feet and each support of the bench touching the floor!!)

2) Anytime you are seated you are placing a greater amount of compressive force on the spine as you are taking your legs and hips ot of the equation to provide natural "shock absorbtion". Which is what they are intended to do. I can't remeber the exact number, need to check a text book, but it is something like a 40% greater amount of compressive force on the lumbar spine when pressing overhead seated than when standing!!

3) When seated it is hard for me to press in a natural arc motion. When seated as I press upwards I feel as if the bar is still out infront of me a bit due to the fact that my back support is up so I realy can't move freely in a natural motion. When standing as I am pressing the bar overhead, once it breaks the plane of my eyes I am pushing my chest through and my body underneath the bar so that instead of being infront of me a bit it is directly overhead, bisecting my body in half. Placing the bar in this position is much stronger as you are now controling the weight over your center of gravity better which will allow you to drive through your forces great. Not to mentino the fact that this movement completes the lift bye recruiting the traps in the final lock out, as your scapula elevates.

4) A lot of what I do, even though some would say I am a "bodybuilder", is geared more towards olympic lifts, functional strength training and sports specific training (I don't know bodybuilder training and training body parts is boring...lol). So if I am doing a jerk or a push press that completino of the lift directly overhead is crucial! And the standing presses gets my core ready to balance weight and sense load for things like the clean, snatch, push press...etc...



hope that helps.



Posted by: Duncans Donuts

Actually, that helps a lot.

Your insight is quite valuable. Since you bring up the olympic lifts, it seems that if I want to go to Texas A&M I will have to learn to do hang cleans (grr.) Given your knowledge base and your experience in the hang clean, any advice you can give me in regards to throwin the most amount of weight?

Keep in mind that I have virtually 0 experience in terms of the "explosive" movements

Sorry to hijack your journal

No problem about the hijhack at all.


There area few things you should keep ion mind when doing/learning hang cleans:

1) Learn the movement in parts. Learn to pull before you catch. Get the shrug down. Exploding from the hamstings and glutes shrugging as hard as you can, elbows externally rotated (or shoulders internally rotated however you want to think about it). Once you can pull the catch is easy. Always keep the bar moving in a stragiht line. Once it gets out in front of you good luck!! You are better off just dumping it and letting the lift go before things get ugly.

2) Front squat front squat front squat!! Be sure to front squat in the rack postion and with a variety of stances (close, wide, med) as this will aid you greatly when pulling heavy weight and trying to drop underneath the bar. Work on your forearm flexability in the rack position

3) Do other explosive lifts to work on foot work and power. Things like box jumps, push presses, high pulls, snatch drops and push jerks are crucial.

4) Remeber, if you are doing this for football reasons then working up to 1RM's is not neccessary. You are looking to work on you explosivness so working at less of an intensity and trying to move as fast as possible will benefit you much greater. Also, at less wieght you wont need to dorp under the bar to catch it as much as you would if you were hitting a 1RM. Olympic lifters and football players clean a bit differently as there are different goals in mind (even though the outcome is the same). I have one freind that is an olympic lifter and cometes in the state championships and another friend that was a college football player. When they workout together they clean in different ways. The olympic lifters is going way heaivier and dropping ass to the grass to get underneath that bar. The x-football player is using less weight but barely dropping at all and just exploding the weight up to his chest. If he did it the other way he could add 60 or 70lbs on the bar but he wouldn't be moving as quickly (see what I am saying?)

5) this is a cool web page....o-lifts

Let me know if you want some help......Aren't you coming to vegas? maybe we can get together at the golds and I can give you a crash course. I will proababy be doing cleans on friday.

Comments:
Really felt great during this workout (even though I was tired from watching baseball all night ). 315 is the heaviest on squats I have gone since my whole knee injury thing. It felt great. The weight didn't feel like anythign on my back and I was moving out of the hole really fast. My rest intervals were short but not to short (around a min. and a half to two min.). My training partner said I looked comfortable and back to my old self again. I felt comfortable. Now I just gotta work back up to a 400+ lb squat ass to the grass. My depth was really deep today. Since after the olympia I am going to do a 6-8 week olympic training cycle I decided to throw in some light snatch form work. Went from the hang position today. Felt pretty good pulling. I have been doing cleans but this is the first time since about this time last year that I have done snatches. I hope I can stay injury free because my knee, hips and shoulder all feel really good right now. The weight was light and I was jsut working on dropping underneath the bar and catching it in the bottom of an overhead squat. Once again on these my depth was really solid. Finished up with some BS and got outta there. Need some rest. I am beat.

If me and my bro go out to Vegas, you can give me some hints on form. I have done power cleans from the ground before, and I still have decent form on them (I BELIEVE), but I'm terrified of damaging myself.

Thanks again for the help Funk. I tried them the other day and did a few reps of 185 without any trouble - problem is that the first phase is akward.

yeah, it is akward. You get used to it. Cleans aren't as akward as snatches. Now ther is a messed up lift. Starting from a deadlift and ending up at an overhead squat!! That lift scares the crap out of me.

How the heck did you do that? Try and dump it and not get outta the way fast enough?

It is a good idea to get bumper plates so that if you do have to dump it it is safer, easier and less loud. I have dumped the bar many times when working on form.

Felt good today. Didn't time rest intervals today but everythign was pretty much under a minute rest, I was moving pretty fast. 275 felt light as hell on the decline. I wish I had a training aprtner today so I could get a spot and go heavier. 100's felt good on the incline, I should have stopped the 1st set at 8 reps instead of ten so that I could get a constant number of reps on all working sets. The rest of the workout was good.

that's a perfect time to arrive. You have most of Thursday to get right at the party.

I just thought that if we make it to Vegas next year, I could do one workout with you because you seem to really push yourself and any partner you have. I know that I could really go a bit harder and it would be cool to see how far I could push some pb with someone insisting that I lift a heavier weight or for more reps than I think I can.

Intesnity comes form with in my freind. Yes, I push myself as hard as I can, especially when timing rest intervals. I try and push my partners as hard as I can as well. I would love to have you as a training partner for a day. It would be fun. The only bad part would be that in vegas I am on vacation and really wouldn't want to be going balls out. I am going to go workout there on friday but I wont do anythign crazy. Probably just some explosive lifts (cleans), bench press, pull ups and sldl and then some arm work for the ladies . That's all, nothing crazy.

You're probably right. The last couple of vacations I've brought workout clothes, but they only end up taking up space. We are planning a trip to see my wife's friend in NY ... so perhaps that would be a better time to have a workout.

I know that intensity comes from within. There are times when I do push myself (like last Friday), but I think that in order for me to really push myself, I need a training partner. The thing I really can't tolerate is an unreliable partner. The one training partner I had was when I first moved out, we rented an apartment together. He was as dedicated as I was and neither of us could really duck out without the other knowing.

Why shop for food when you can eat at the dinner on the corner? They have everything you need.

Posted by: Yanick

what up biatch. I got your IM this morning, and yes my computer is always on and i'm always signed on to aol, lol (it goes, you have been away for 597 minutes, lol). anyway just wanted to pop in and say whats up, i got a job and you won't believe where. That means i'm gonna have money now and i can come up to your neck of the woods and we can go get some blockhead burritos, when you get back from vegas that is. Its wierd i haven't spoken to you in about a week or two but yesterday sweaty P called me and told me about his feet, which sucks dick, but then this morning i wake up with an IM from you, its like you guys share a brain not just a name lol.

Anyway i have a quick Q for you. Me and my buddy signed up to Dolphin in BK and he's a real noob to training. I'm taking him through the paces doing full body with him to get my conditioning back up a bit (i haven't lifted in like 2 weeks cause of the stupid bug that was goin around a while ago, and my ankle). Anyway on the the point, i got him to squat and he's not bad at it, just gotta work on his depth, but when trying to explain SLDL's to him, he just would not get it. I need you to throw some cues at me that i can use for him, the only one remembered was when Kyle taught me to tell ppl to bring their butt to the wall behind them and their chest to the wall in front of them. For the life of me i couldn't get this guy to bend at the hips, all he was doing was spinal flexion so i gave up on the SLDL's for the day and told him i would find out a way to better explain them to him which is where you come in. So get back to me bud, and gimme a call when you get back from Vegas i've been craving some blockhead burritos man.

What up biatch!!! I haven;t heard from you in like forever. Yes, sweaty patrick and I share a brain. We share a cock too, a very very small one. Man, that toally sucks about his feet. I feel bad for him, he jokes about it like it is no biggie but when we are sitting there talking I can tell he is really upset about it.

Anyway cues for the SLDL without using that dipshits idea of touching the wall (god that guy sucks). I usually have people stand up straight, arms hanging down at their side and no weight. Slight bend in the knee (especailly for this dude as it sounds like he is pretty friggen tight). I have the pull their shoulder blades together and arc their lower back to get their chest out. If ther aren't understanding that part, I take my fist and place it in the small of thier back and gently push the lordodic curve inward and with my other hand grab their should and pull thier chest up. From there I tell to to think about holding bags in both of their hands and they are going to go through a door by......bumping their ass into the door. That's all. Just bump your butt out and keep your chest the same way, that is all that moves. Usually people get that. If he is still having problems start him out with hyperextensions until he gets some core strength to hold weight and do the exercise.

Anyway, yeah man, come into the city to eat some time. When I get back from vegas I will be full swing into gaining LBM and getting ready for this contest in March probably. I just got my BF% clipped. I am sitting at 193lbs at 11%. So close to my goal of 195lbs at 10%. IF I can get that bye Jan. 1 I'll be pretty darn happy.

talk to ya later bro.

Comments:
Since I am leaving for vegas on thursday morning I knew I wouldn't be training legs for about a week (except if I go to gold's in vegas on friday and do some cleans) so I decided to do more of a bodybuilder type leg workout, more reps and sets, etc...It felt great though. the one and a quarters are brutal. Sitting in the hole for that long on each rep really kills my ass, I am already sore. I didn't go heavy on SLDLs because my ass was fried after the squats. The lunges were tough as I haven't done barbell lunges in like 5 or 6 months. Then I finished with the ext/curl superset. Felt great. I am sore as hell already. Tomorrow will be worse.

Hey funk, curious what you do for variety on your calves. I typically do standing calf raises with a 3 second pause on the full contraction, standing with toes on a block to improve the ROM - you think those are adequate? I'll accept any suggestions from teh mastar of nowladge.

I don;t do to much crazy stuff for my calves, they are to big already...lol. I do seated calf raises, 45 degree calf raises and leg press calf raises. If you really want a burn I do stairs sometimes on the steps in the gym. I'll do anywhere from 10-20 consecutive stairs with anywhere from 10-15 reps on each step, without resting between steps. Those get brutal. You may want to do something more plyometric like calf hops (toe hops) maybe holding like a ten lb. plate in each hand. Just to work on your explosivness and firing of you type IIb fibers. If I remeber you are trying to go to texas A&M and be a collegiate athlete (football??).



Posted by: CowPimp

1 and 1/4 squats; I like that. You have a very interesting exercise selection much of the time. Your journal is just exploding with good ideas.



Posted by: JerseyDevil

Have a great time in Vegas Patrick.... I know you will.



Posted by: P-funk

COW- thanks, give them a shot. They will make you ass kill. I also like them because, even though you have to use light enough weight to make sure that you can do the "double pump", they place a great demand on the core to remain strong and upright through out all the reps.

JD- thanks man. I will!!!!
