Race to Bodyweight Press

[feces99]

Time to get archaic.

Old competition rules apply, bend and break your spines to your hearts' content.

Those are my exact stats.

I hit 80kg quite a few months ago, I stalled quite a lot (heavy bench the day before overhead), I was able to match 80kg last week and 77.5x2 2 weeks ago.

In, my best is 100 i weigh 120

[dandexter]

I'd be interested in this, currently weigh 101kg and can press around 95kg (un-tested lately, but at least 95kg).

[stratoo]

I think I win. I did 85 x 4 for four sets last week. Adding 7 kg more shouldn't be a problem.

[fraverdenstreet]

we can always do a snatch grip ohp race to bodyweight, i havent hit that yet

[chigiskov]

Or why not just highest percentage press over bw?

kk, what kind of time frame we looking at here?

[Powersprinter]

So is anyone able to actually rep their bodyweight? I could only do 2-4 but i thought some guys could crank out reps on their bw

From behind the neck I presume?

[WHT_LIGHTNING]

How about something with push presses, since I seem to think those translate to the jerk much better

[fraverdenstreet]

correct

What about 140 sinclair with the push press? Too much, too little, just right?

Here's a calculator: http://www.qwa.org/Liftstats/calculate.asp

(I'm not going to participate by the way)

might be too low. I am only about 10lbs from that, and I am sure there are stronger push pressers on here than me. Maybe a 150?

[fraverdenstreet]

same here, im at like 138 sinclair on the push press thing already

[fraverdenstreet]

hit 100kgs today at bw 91



skip to very end 4 OHPs

[Smolovicus]

Strict OHP is probably 175-185 on a good day.

BTN push pressed 215, just missed 225.

Wish I could strict press 100 kg.... :'(

just start doing them 1-2x a week brah it gets there fast. try to be explosive with your arms and push them through the ceiling. works

[themg3]

Quick question.

Do you guys use the same form (grip width, wrist angle, etc) on your jerk and your locked OHP?

[paradux]

Nice press ITT. Anyone got any tips for improving overhead press? I'd appreciate it

[PAINBRAH]

I did 77.5 @ about 66 two days ago, I have the video but did not upload it anywhere because it's still ehhh

[fraverdenstreet]

same grip width, yes
my elbows may possibly be lower on the presses than my jerks though. not sure but it kinda feels like it
and to improve OHP, do some OHPs
