Couple vids of me doing push presses.

Here's me failing x2 at 335






Came back and did 5 at 275


No reason I shouldn't get that 335, somehow it's a mental block.

For whatever reason, I always have more success at push presses whenever I clean the weight from the floor (for the first rep only). I don't know if its a momentum thing that gets me going or what...

How do you avoid elbow and wrist pain when you're using that much weight? I do standing presses with at most 205 lbs, and it causes major joint pain if I keep at it for a long time.

Do you have an injury to your right rotator?

No why?

damn, you are a beast. thats some awesome weight big man !! i would bet your gonna have to get 275 7-8 times to get the 335. thats a big jump.....

 

[b fold the truth]

I'm pretty sure that you are missing that weight because of back strength. Erector and upper back strength.

You have different techniques between the two videos. In the 275 set it is nearly like your back is acting "supported" and stays in place once the bar gets to the position where you have to "lock it out" over your head. When in the same position with the 335...your aren't able to shove your head through. This makes me think that there is a weakness in your back somewhere through your erectors to traps.

If it makes sense...the upper back and erectors act like a back support when pressing, making it like doing an incline with leg and body drive into it. At a point your weakness is showing up with a certain weight...and it is somewhere between your waist and your head.

Hope that makes some sense.

If it doesn't...shoot me your number and I'll try to give you a call this week.

I did the 275 for 5 after attempting the 335.

I see what your saying and it makes sense. Part of it may be fatigue since I do shoulders on thurs after doing chest on mon and deads/back on tues. It's kind of weird I can do 315 pretty much the same as 275 as far as form goes but that extra 20 lbs is killing me.

Thanks for looking man your opinion does mean a great deal to me.

[MsBeverlyHills]

good job Scots! for all the guys that complain they cant make their shoulders grow need to look @ your vids! bigger shoulders = heavy push presses

Trust me man, I feel you. There is a point where even 5-10 lbs means the world of difference on my overhead press...especially with a bar.

Do you have any bands to train with?

Keep taking vids man...PLEASE! These are motivating. I can't press a plate a side without pain on any type of bar right now...but these vids are motivation to keep working at it.

Don't currently have bands but plan on getting some and some chains in the near future.

I plan on vidding a lot from now on so I can see what I am doing right/wrong.

Thanks a lot, man for years your vids have motivated the hell out of me glad I can return the favor.
