BTN Push Presses

Did them - they aren't easy. I can tell they will help w/ shoulder flexability as I had a hard time getting back down to my back/traps w/ the bar each time.

Where the hell have you been - I was hoping to hear from you earlier today - I missed my workout yesterday due to being sick and just pushed everything aside a day - catch up w/ me in my log if you have time please sir.

What weight range are you using.

I also like doing ONE push press to get the bar elevated and then only dropping the bar to ear level and then pressing without the push

Military? That would not make it an Olympic Push Press then.

Yesterday was my first time and I got to 135x5. The pressing was pretty easy. The movement is very new so it will be a few weeks before i can throw any real weight up. I can see how you could press a shit load w/ this lift - putting the weight down is the hardest part.

We were talking about BTN presses and I stated that I also like, upon occasion, to start with a push press to get it off the traps on the 1st rep but then lower to ear level(still BTN) and focus on doing a pure press for the rest of the reps.

Not sure where Military Pressing was mentioned

you described a BTN military (strict pressing and you stated "and focus on doing a pure press for the rest of the reps" which is of a Military Press movement... taking out the leg drive that makes a Push Press a push press)... the thread is about Push Presses... that's all i was pointing out man.

No problem.


My confusion on your comment stemmed from the terminology - as most folks refer to Military Presses as being to the front only...at least in this area
