Mean grind bro you weren't joking about wonky!

Here is my 90x5 strict axle press today which is a beltless PB for me. Bodyweight around 93kg at the moment 

[FellowshipOfTheRon]

damn how do you guys get the bar to accelerate from the bottom (starting) position of the press? that's my most difficult part to do without any kind of lower body usage. i've seen vids on youtube of guys doing 100kg+ all of them i notice a bit of tiny explosive hip movement, is this part of the OHP at all or is that more oly lifting?

[HarryB]

Strong pressing. I'm gonna have a go and see if I can do 80 for 4.

Just like anything FOTR, I think overhead pressing responds well to volume. So if you want to press more, you should press more? Yep if there is any kind of leg drive its probably a push press which is a different movement and you can increase the load significantly if you have good tech + strong legs

[tyreguy]

60-8 is what I can do.

[Skeletor]

I started doing these today as part of my program. Got up to 90 for 1. Maybee could have hit 95 but wouldn't have done 100. Probably will in a few weeks though. Quite hard using no momentum .

Is Ron kingi related to Paul kingi?

Dinnyj.... Fuaarrrrk wood wife.

 

His son and about the same size as his dad, bit broader though but Paul even now at almost 50 is thicker and his arms are ridiculous.

Gene pool be strong as F..K!

He's a real strong presser but I think you'd have him on squats and deads.

Im far from a great strict presser, I merely worked on it as it was a huge weakness due to previous shoulder issues.

I've done 155 I think, a 185 push press and 210 jerk from rack.

[soundsgood]

Just a casual 155 lol

[Pseudonym]

I've done 155 I think

I love the "I think". If I strict pressed 155kg, I'd bloody remember it!

[Wookie]

Yeah 155, miss 160. When you've seen guys who can strict 180-185...155 doesn't seem that good

Your locking your arms out at the top of the movement. Is that how it's suppose to be done? I was told by my trainer that you should always have a slight bend and never lock out. I could be wrong with this.

Mmmmm..... your trainer Indian by any chance?

 

That would be considered a half rep...

I just did some research on this and have found that locking elbows at the top of the movement is debatable. Locking out in my opinion isn't good for the joints, especially if your lifting huge amounts of weight.

I vote that chris latham guy

[soundsgood]
