Dipping is totally cheating but I love doing it for a fast work out. amwrap and what not

 

You mean....like a push press?

 

IMO only a dead, strict press counts as a legit OHP

 

to each his own.

 

Thats why i said no dip, and yes kodiak i dont like push presses...i hardly do them, always strict presses or jerks when doing my oly and strength shit

 

Going in to do some squats today. gonna try to hit 10 sets of 5 with 410. then come back home and do cardio for 15 mins.

 

50 reps at 410...#savage

 

Eh the only OHP I do is push press... Good enough. I did #175 at 3 reps last night. I might be able to 135 ohp strict... Never done it though.

 

das a lot of leg sore......

 

Seems like a push press, in typical crossfit fashion, is just a way to cheat

You want strong shoulders? Don't bend your legs. Bent knees don't help your shoulders

Want a strong back? Don't kip. Flailing doesn't equal gainz

 

Not realy cheating. Its a usefull movement for sure, just diffrent. If u gota lift something heavy overhead and your not in the gym working on strength, are u gona strict press it? I doubt it...your gona use ur leg power cuz there stronger than your shoulders (id hope)

 

this. Yeah it isn't going to get the strength of the shoulders like working up to the same weight being strict, but I think it focuses more on actual movements that you would use. I'm not going to not use my legs lifting something heavy outside of the gym. there is a valid reason for both, just comes down to preferences. I like mixing up the two

 

Tell the worlds strongest man for shoulder press that using his legs is bad for pressing... Kipping pullups is stupid beyond any fucking reason. However, push press is used by even the worlds strongest men, gotta count for something.

 

aiight, warm up is done.... lets get the blindfolds

 

push press has its place

im just glad all my totals are in the "advanced" cat. lol

 

Did some cleans, pull-ups, bench press and thrusters today. Little mix of everything.
I only seem to get into the gym 1-2 days a week. Need to start getting in 4-5...

 

I love thrusters.....
