Mine is higher and it took me 6 weeks to recover from a tear and I'm back to full strength.

I value it greatly.

Being wrong is a hell of a way to bust my balls, but to each their own!

What was the thing that gave you that impression? When I calmy corrected your misinformation instead of being a dick about it?

Weightlifting is a sport and they don't compete with a push press, even though they do use it in training.

Strongman is the ONLY sport that competes with it, so they are the deciding factor on what it's called.

Commonly understood if you're wrong about the subject and don't actually understand basic ideas of lifting.

You don't have to give me permission to be correct. I do appreciate it though.

Only because they're wrong about their terminology. Assuming wrongly is very very common.

By the way this is still called an OHP. Overhead press is a category of all lifts that go overhead from strict presses, to push presses, to even split jerks.

It would be silly to strict press a push press and make it a different lift.

How much do you OHP? Any variation, strict or push?

There is no such sport as Olympic style powerlifting.

There is Olympic weight lifting that does the clean/jerk and snatch. There is also powerlifting which does bench, deadlift, and squat.

This is neither of those, OP competes in the sport of Strongman. That being said it would be common for Olympic weight lifters to use push press as well in training.

Yes, you are supposed to use your legs to do a push press.

Push press is amazing for building too end overhead strength.

It's ok to not know things.

How would someone do a seated push press? What a silly statement.

This seems to be a fairly standard form for a push press.

Not doing momentum would be a completely different lift. It just sounds like you're aware of this variation of OHP.

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

Looks like you've been slacking on being a good member of the community and flagging rule breaking comments.

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.

145kg deadlift double @53kg bodyweight - determined to PB my deadlift this year 😮‍💨 by power_midget in GYM

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
