I have watched plenty of press videos and no one ever mentioned ,what now appear obvious, the gap the length of my forearms creates. I thought it was my lack of flexibility. Thanks for the great tip!

really appreciate these videos thanks guys

Never ever disappoint. Ty

Great video thanks again for your time and help 🏋️

Great channel and ive got lots of subscriptions for gym

Just discovered this channel. Really great stuff man. The way you explain things is absolutley A+.

Very interesting. I’ll try it this way next time I OHP. I’ve always started at the bottom, held breath, gone up and down then taken another breath. I’ll try getting it to the top, hold breath, down up and then breathing again.

Hi matt i no longer have enough room for a 7 ft bar i am looking at getting a 6 foot bar now thanks

I find myself losing balance when doing this method compared to just doing the hip thrust everytime, but I find it easier to push weights than rather than starting from the bottom.

Is that a Rogue S1? Thanks.

Hay matt i finally got the 7ft bar in the rack i had to move my plate tree more thanks

Great video guys; quick question - Does the bar have to touch the chest while getting a stretch reflex at the bottom; if not, what counts as full range of motion? I have longer forearms so the elbows drop behind the wrists if I touch the bar on my chest.

Are these the kind of forearms that are too long to power clean properly? Could we use this position as a cue to assess if a lifter is one of those who is forced to go for a power snatch rather than a power clean? I was thinking about something along this line "If in a correct OHP starting position the bar is above the chin then your forearms are too long to safely perform a power clean"

As always, GREAT content . Am a BLOC Academy Principles student, and a former training customer -it was your KZread videos that drove me to your business. i MUCH prefer doing press paused from the bottom position like you would a competition bench or a deadlift-with the bar static at the point where the joint angle is weakest. Know that this violates one of the BLOC principles, because it lightens the load somewhat (or at least makes reps 2-5 harder)-is this wrong for other reasons? As a PL for MANY years-like doing as many “first” reps as possible because they are my most important one. Touch and Go presses and deadlifts have never appealed to me.....

@BarbellLogic

3 жыл бұрын

Thank you for the kind words and support! How is the Principles course going for you? We would love to hear your feedback! We find strict presses incredibly valuable! We generally start folks with this press featured in the video to get the most weight on the bar as possible and to incorporate more muscle mass. Then once it's time to move to intermediate training, we do recommend incorporating strict press during one of your press slots. Just like paused bench and touch-and-go bench, the two variations of the overhead press have their own unique benefits and we don't discriminate 😜

What barbell are you using?

Was wondering if taking your breath at lock out and completing all reps after a single breath would be beneficial?

@X3RUBIM

3 жыл бұрын

Breathing prior to unracking the bar and completing the whole set on that one breath really helps, because you can maintain your stablity much better. Works great for sets of 3, up to maybe 5, depending on the athlete. Brian Alsruhe is a big proponent of this technique.

I like they always talk to this guy like he is first time in the gym but then he takes and do 70kg ohp :DDDD

I still not find it perfect, I don't know, but I feel extreme tension on my back when the bar is on lock position of top

why rebound? u should train muscle to initiate movement

So is the hip drive only necessary for the first rep?

@BarbellLogic

2 ай бұрын

Technically, it's not necessary at all (you can do a press without it). Many use it for the first rep, but not for the subsequent reps.

Huh.. that's interesting, I always have trouble getting a big breath after a rep on sets of 5 because I try to re-breath at the bottom starting position. Inhaling and exhaling at the top makes sense because the lockout position is always pretty easy to hold onto even if the weight is heavy. When I do heavy singles I take a big breath before un racking the bar and hold it throughout the rep. My heavy sets of 5 are between 160-170 and my heavy singles are between 190-200. Taking a breath at lockout seems like it may help me get to 175 x 5!

For 5 reps you could basically just hold your breath and it not matter.

Is it ok to do this seated? The reason I ask is that my gear is in my basement and I’m tall so I don't have room to do it standing. I was thinking I could do these seated on the bench.

@BarbellLogic

2 жыл бұрын

Depends how advanced you are. Initially, no, doing some combination of pressing exercises, deadlifts, and upper body pulling exercises (rows & chin ups) is enough. After some time, however, you'll need to do accessories that target these smaller muscles (triceps, biceps, etc.).

Isn't his starting position a little too open? Forearms look very far apart. 3:58.

Guys can you help with this, I'm a lifter of 15 years experince, been pressing that entire time, but this spring whilst doing a relatively light 5s of 70% i felt a pull in my mid back just above my belt i immediately seized up and couldn't bend over to even get my shoes off. I recovered well and put it down to not taking my breath fully and not being serious with the weight. Was fine lifting 90% on all other lifts within a week. Then 4 weeks later it happened on the press again, I'm not sure if it's my psoas? Feels like it's a muscle pulling away from my bottom rib area and then my stomach hurts too like I've had a rapier sword pushed through me. So i stopped pressing for a 12 week training cycle and the pain stopped only to get it last week on a pause squat with 90% and i felt i over extened my upper back slightly. What's going on here? I'm not leaning overmuch I'm pretty up right but its stated to effect outside of training. Have you heard of this injury before? Many thanks before hand

@bearclawhogs44 is correct. We also go over the press progression including the 2.0 in this video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/foJ7rZONqci_kso.html

I've never seen anyone exhale at the top, and take another breath in. Seems counter intuitive as you'd lose all core tightness with the bar overhead, or am I way off?

@MattMitrisMGM

Think of the bench press. When the bar is locked out over your shoulder you take the breath, hold and crunch down (valsava maneuver) then do the rep. Reset at the top and repeat. Same principal can be used for the press. Hope that helps.

@cjgotcher2574

Matt is spot on here, and for some people, recalling the bench press pattern helps. Most people get the breath intuitively, but if you try it and find you lose tension, breathe 'big' without taking in a lot of air. The breath is quick and powerful, just enough to 'repressurize' and go.

@dave1277

A light weight is hard to tell a difference but when the press gets around body weight you will notice its hard to breathe and stay tight at the bottom

please stop clickbaiting, its dishonest...
