    Question Tell me the story with Push Presses

    Cuz god damn it just looks like an injury just waiting to happen. Jerking the weight up from the shoulders to an overhead press by using some leg muscles? I dont know.

    I wanna try them, thats why I am asking. Not condemning it.

    what do you mean tell you the story? You explode out of the hole with the weight and then press the rest of the way.

    I don't understand your question at all. Injury can occur with no weight at all. Make sure you work on your technique.

    that is more of a jerk since he is re-bending the knees. Even though they are calling it a push press that is not really what he is doing. A real push press has no re-bend of the knees...instead you dip, drive and then press...hence the name.

    here is a better push press. Notice how in this example she drives the legs, and then pushes herself through once the bar gets to about eye level. Where as the other clip he is driving the weight up and then rebending the knees for a catch. it is all one "jerk" in that first clip.

    First of all this is an olympic hybrid movement, and it is not for beginners. Secondly if you are interested in this movement work on your squats and military pressing first. You wan't to have the strongest shoulder girdle, core and lower body possible before attempting high entensity dynamic movements such jerks or push presses. Then start off with the bar only making sure you are efficent technically with the lift, and progress slowly from there.
