ElectricSheep posted:Strict press, I'm not the biggest fan of spinal flexion in that scenario. This is nit-picky: Spinal flexion would be when the breastbone moves closer to the belly button, leaning back (or when the back of your neck moves closer to your rear end) would be spinal extension. Besides, I think the general idea is to try and maintain a rigid spine and instead extend the hips, though some spinal extensions might come into play.

bomb posted:I was fat as poo poo and did StrongLifts for 6 months but trained weights years ago. I’m not as jacked as roid dudes but I’m certainly not in bad shape now. I hit 350 on my squat and DL and swapped to kettles and now my lifts are p good so unsure why you’re so salty? You worship false idols, and your bench sucks.

Also I've been doing pin press lately and it's leaving me absolutely destroyed. I definitely have a sticking point right where the pin press starts so I'm hoping this gets me to a > bodyweight OHP.

OHP is my favorite lift and I was finally able to press overhead this morning without pain since busting my shoulder in February. June is off to a good start for me 😎

ElectricSheep posted:e: if I look back at my previous posting it's also scaring me as I approach a 3+ plate squat, as I've hit 275 x 10 before so you'd think it's not a problem but I absolutely get jittery as the heavier bar pushes into my back and the weight settles in - it's really been screwing up my 85%/95% squat days for the last two months Practice with racking and unracking the bar, and maybe even go a little higher than what you intend to squat. That'll help you get used to having heavy weights on your back without any of the perceived risk of a squat.

Hey I didn't know you were back, I remember your funny posts from long long ago. Glad I clicked this random thread. I would guess that it's a functional squat mirroring getting into a defensive stance and then pressing up, as if he's trying to hold someone who's bearing against him. I've seen a strength coach doing it with players in one of a series of videos long since deleted from pistons.com

barkbell posted:Basketball is a contact sport? For guys like Lebron running and jumping through dudes who are 7’2”, 290 pounds and are trying to hard foul him, yes. People who drive to the basket get incredibly beat up, people who do it by being one of the most explosive athletes of all time and do it by going over defenders, even moreso

bomb posted:What’s your excuse for lagging behind on DL? grip strength, hence 435 x 8 and I was actually defending your bench number since you don't train BB bench press lol if you aren't training for that specific movement then you won't get crazy transfer strength from other exercises is what I was saying

A lot of sports are full of characters doing stupid poo poo or following fads They can get away with it because they do steroids, are genetic freaks and have small armies of people catering to their every need in terms of dieting and recovery

Back to a bodyweight press so it's safe to put on more mass again.
