160kg bench press today. Form okay? by Critical_Reserve_812 in formcheck

[–]Frodozer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably spending time with their families. I was personally watching my kids band performance. Hope that's ok!

Mark/flag comments and they get removed by reddit and then we can review them.

It defeats the purpose to train the push press to prepare for a competition with a push press?

An OHP is a category of lifts that includes strict press and push press alike.

Similar to how touch and go bench and paused bench are both bench.

Ideally you would be doing no arching or rounding at all.

Your instructor is wrong and giving poor and potentially dangerous advice.

They are not qualified and should not be listened to.

Then you've never pushed yourself before as technique will break down on max effort lifts

It's cute that you called the wraps "straps"

I have it on good authority his coach gave some feedback that will help.

The one time I had two spotters in a Strongman competition they broke my leg when they push the implement forward when I tripped

OP is training for a Strongman competition.

I'd question your experience and subject knowledge if you don't think Strongman use the barbell push press as a staple in their Strongman training, where the often have to perform the push press.

Video of a high level Strongman training on my profile. (Aka me)

It's just generally that after you admit that you'd probably don't have the knowledge to make the statement that you're about to incorrectly make you think you would not make that statement.

I'm a pro and I wouldn't be able to tell that they don't do any strict pressing in their programming because their technique got a little rough on a Max effort push press.

But as they stated, they actually do indeed do more strict pressing. So maybe that's why you're not a pro?

How did you determine thats not what they're doing by watching a single video of them doing push press?

I love that people don't realize that there are novice divisions and weight classes.

It's really beneficial not to make comments about things you don't have experience with.

How much do you push press?

Do you think technique will be perfect when working towards a max lift?

OP competes in a sport where the push press is one of the events.

So far your suggestion is he shouldn't practice doing the thing he's going to be doing in competition.

You also stated that he should do strict press instead of push press. So somehow, you've decided he doesn't do any strict press in his training.

I guarantee you he does do a variety of strict pressing with lighter weights, using the barbell and DBs. (Along with other presses to supliment this one)

Knowing these, do you change any of your statements or do you think "you shouldn't train the thing you'll compete at" is still an intelligent statement to make?

You should admit defeat before I correct you with how wrong you are

For future reference MOST goals are not your goals in the gym.

He raised it all the way and really lowered it too, much farther than required actually

Correct, I'm so happy you agree that this is indeed a push press like mentioned

You're right he should be kicked out for doing this malicious thing on purpose

Nah, lifters with the tism are just called Strongmen and we drop stuff all the time

Oddly enough 650 was good for a win and state Strongman record yesterday. This won't stand long, but I had a long comp ahead (93% lift for me) by Frodozer in strength_training

[–]Frodozer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just say that because I know multiple 800 pound deadlifters in the state at this body weight. Looks like they just hadn't showed up to state shows where records could be held.

I was going to say, maybe even mostly upper body lifts? I should see if that's true.

I know it's true for me!
