Dude, you've got nice cardio numbers for a guy your size (or any size bodybuilder, for that matter.). I wish I could get that kind of cardio work in....Well done!

the funkster OH presses like a Oly lifter, meaning from a rack position and elbows out in front of you. changes the plain of motion that you press in and depending on what your shoulder problems are it will help greatly. once Pat taught me how to properly OH press and benchpress my shoulder tendonitis went away in a couple of months and thats all while lifting heavier than i ever had in my life because i switched over to PL'ing instead of BB. |

Is that the reason you would eliminate the bench press from your routine, since it is hitting chest moreso>? |

in regards to leaning back, i read a while ago something by the deceased Mel Siff that you lean back from two things. one is that you need to lean back so the bar can clear you head, because oly lifters start the OH press from the rack position or laying across your front delts/clavicle, and the other is because of the push of triceps against the bar which will make you lean back a bit. properly overhead pressing means that as soon as the bar clears your head you want keep it directly overhead so that if you look at someone from the side the bar looks like it will split them in half. i'm not able to find a good picture of an overhead press, but there is one in Supertraining of Mel Siff so if anyone has that and a scanner maybe they'll throw it up there if not i'll do it when i get home later tonight...if i remember ![]() |

very cool, thanks for the words of wisdom! How is this form of OH pressing on your triceps though? Like I said I have a somewhat bad shoulder, but I also have pretty bad elbows too, yes I am a mess, lol, and I am very limited in what I can do. I pretty much know what I can and can't do and I guess I would need to try this movement to see how it feels on my tris....I mean there would be no good in eliminating my shoulder pain if I act up the elbow pain, lol. I definitely want to do some form of a standing overhead lift in my routine as opposed to seated, so I will try it and see what happens. Can this olympic style lift be done with dbs or is the bar advantageous?

If your going to do them with db's you'll have to use a more neutral grip (palms facing each other) and keep the movement the same as with the bar in terms of keeping your elbows more in front of you than to the side. |

It is deep inside the shoulder, definitely not an impingement type of pain as I know what that feels like since I;ve had THAT before as well, thats the best I can describe, it feels deep within the shoulder, and hurts like hell at the bottom of pressing movements unless I pull my elbows back, to where they are perpendicular to my body. That being said, I've never tried them your way, so it wouldn't hurt (no pun intended) to try How do you guys bench differently? |

rangers, what yan is describing is pressing in the sagitla plane more. Britchick had the same shoulder issues until I adjusted her pressing movement overhead. bascically, like yan says it that if you were to take the DBs and hold them in position like where you start your press from. Now, your elbows are flared out directly to the sides. This can get iffy because there is very little room for the supraspinatus to move invetween the groove, this is typically where impingment will occur. Also, as you fatigue, the DBs may begin to drift back a bit on you, causing some pressure to be placed on the subscapularis. So, if you want to avoid these problems what I do is I hold the DBS in that flared out position and before I press all I do is move my elbows so that instead of pointing to the sides the are pointing more infront of me (not directly straight ahead but more off to an angle inbetwee straigh and to the side). I guess some would call that the scapular plane and that is where shoulder scaption gets its name. This angle is a bit safer for the shoulder joint and girdle to handle. Usually people with rotator cuff tears are told to press in this ROM for physical therapy as well. With the BB it is more of the same thing. I unrack the bar in the position that I olympic front squat (elbows out angleed a bit) and press from there. clearing the head, I don't even need to lean back. All I do is tuck my shin inwards and one the BB passes my eyes I push my chest through and press the weight up in a straight line directly overhead so that it is above my center of gravity and not out in front of me as there I would have to be leaned back to control the weight.
For benching we keep out elbows more into the sides and not as flared out as a lot of BBers do. This puts more tensino on the triceps, think CG bench press but not as close of a grip. |

BW- 181 *damn I am light!! lower body squats RI= 60sec 335/1x15 Decided to just work on form today and do a bunch of singles. weight felt light as hell and I was sinking them ass to the floor. New trainer at the gym was watching me warm up with some squats and goddmornings and then when I put on 335 and sunk my rep he was like "shit, i really wanted to see if you shorten the depth a bit when you put on more weight. I don't go so low if I put on more weight. You really get all the way down there though! Would I have to pay you to have you train me?" haha. Anyway, weight felt light. After reading a bunch of westside articles those guys work form so much! We are talking about amazing lifters that have been in the game for 20-30 years!! And they are still working technique. I want to be a brilliant technicain in all of my lifts (squats, clean, snatch, etc..). So i like to get under the bar and work on that stuff. These felt good despite being really tired and beat. I have 11 clitens today!! No time for a nap. ![]() SLDL (over/under grip; no wraps) RI=90sec 275/8 315/5x3 felt good on these too. reverse hypers BW + light jump start band/10 BW + med. band/10x2 felt good on these. thats all. No time to stretch or pose!! To many clients to train today. |

BW- 181....YEAH BUDDY!! LIGHT WEIGHT!! YEP YEP! upper horizontal Bench press RI= 90sec 275/4x3 225/8 felt pretty good today. I am not much of a bench presser anyway so I am pretty happy as long as I can crank out 315 for 1. This wasn't a bad day of pressing. I realy am not into the exercise. The second set was better than the first as I got really good positioning on the bench. For warm ups I did lots of sets of 135 and I put a band around my wrists, attaching them together and pulling them taught. That way I could really focus on pulling the bar apart and engaging the triceps. My tri's are fried from benching today. I was getting a pretty good hip dive as well. two arm DB bent over rows RI= 45sec 70/12 75/10 80/10x2 low incline DB press RI= 30sec tempo= 1/3/X. Three counts in the whole and then an explosion 65/12 70/7 70/5 huge strenght drop off. 30sec rest is not enough for the explosion....lol support rows (horizontal grip) RI= 45sec 135/10 160/6 160/5 sraight bar trciep pressdown on lat machine RI= 30sec plate#7/12, 12, 8 rowing sprints intensity= 10 300 meters x 52sec Persoanl best here!!! I am 8 sec away from the record of 44sec. I was hitting 100m in 17sec today. this was tough. versa climber sprints RI= 60sec 100m x 3 sprints UGH! I hate the versa climber. It is brutal. COC#1/5x3 |
