I have been asked by some members to explain exactly what the different kinds of megapresses are. Before you mock me, I suggest you try these movements- believe me, you will grow!
Megapresses type I- performed on a flat bench. Start with you maximum weight, and perform a bench press BUT only bring the bar halfway down. On the next set, using less weight, bring the bar to your chest and perform bench presses, BUT press the bar only half-way up. This stresses the upper pectorals on the first set, and the inner and outer pectorals on the second set.
Megapresses type II- variant of shoulder presses, however, the bar is pressed both to the front of the neck and to the back, and then straight up (coming down to touch the top of your head).
Megapresses type III - variant of a clean and jerk, only done on your knees to prevent using your legs to drive the weight up.
I have developed these movements and find I get more out of them than I do from traditional movements.
I create my own traditions.
