    I always use push jerk in competition, and I definitely think if you do you should train it for specific blocks since it is very technical. It's really my specialty and has allowed me to out press guy 100lbs heavier than me. My PR on strict press is 225, while push jerk I've hit 315, so that's a HUGE difference, and I don't know why more people in Strongman don't use it. You're right, it shouldn't be used for building strength, but it does need to be practiced fairly often to get good at it just because of the technical nature. Also, it always hammers my traps hard.

    I have said the hell with bench along time ago lol. Bench goes up so damn slow I have done 3 times a week to 1 times a week. I have done bench with bands and chains. I have done close grip to a wider grip. I have done floor press close hand to wide hand. I have done dumbbell presses. I used pause reps for all and inch pause for all and still I can’t move up in weight that much in one fucking year.

    Hi Alex. New sub here. What do you think about OHP as an accessory for bench? Do you think it is overrated and there is not much carryover (strength wise)? Should powerlifters do it ONLY if they want to focus on direct shoulder hypertrophy?

  • @AlexanderBromley

    @AlexanderBromley

    3 жыл бұрын

    Probably the MOST overlooked movement by bench specialists. The consensus among strongmen is that improvement in the bench press doesn't predict success in other movements.... but improvements in the overhead press have a dramatic effect on bench, even if you haven't been benching. Only big consideration if you haven't been doing them is making sure you can include both without them interfering with each other or causing overuse issues. But that's a consideration with everything.

    I would bet that one is coming. There is a new surge of split jerkers in the 105kgs to go along with the sloppy starfish jerks. Matter of time before a former Oly lifter or someone who is just mobile and coordinated comes in and shows everyone that we've been working too hard push pressing lol.

    My right forearm gets a shock feeling sometimes for a split second when the bar is coming back down, close to the bottom. It feels like those fake gum things that shock you when you pull them. Lol. It’s like a few inches down from my thumb, right arm, on the top side. Anyone else experience this?

    It works better if you start as a teen. If you are 25+ don't bother you may not have the flexibility. I have a wrecked shoulder from a bench press accident and now I do seated one arm dumbbell presses and lean slightly back and to the side to open up the joint slightly and that does the trick. I do it in a similar manner to arnold press but with a lower start. This is much more natural. In the really old days they did 80 degree incline bench press for heavy weight which is much easier on the shoulders.
