    Brian: If I had someone do assistance for pressing, I'd have them do Z press. It's one of the best.

    I’ve been running the Darkhorse program for about 9 weeks and just hit 62.5kg x 1 on a Z press. 9 weeks ago, my standing max was 60.
    So either I don’t lose much in my Z press or darkhorse is magic hahah. Either way, it’s an extremely fun program and I love how you’ve solved the problem of movement frequency that the usual conjugate method has.

  • @PRIMALmarauder
    @PRIMALmarauder 5 років тому +18

    Literally one week ago I changed my primary overhead lift for the next 12 weeks to the push press from strict press. Aside from stabilizing overhead, I think the overloaded negative of bringing the weight back down to my shoulders will help immensely with my strict press. Time to go reprogram the rest of my assistance work. :)
    I've been watching your videos for a couple months now and you're changing the game for me. You're improving lives, brother. Thanks for everything you do.

    Thank you so much Brian. I'll be incorporating several points of this instruction into my home gym dumbbell routine. At 57 and weighing 150 lbs, I could stand a bit of advice on how to handle progressing the weight.
    Currently battling to press 60 lb dumbbells, and it's a mix between hilarity and horror to watch the "old man" go for it. So as we've discussed before...gratitude.

    @ericmorel9374 5 років тому

    Work out in the cellar and don't have a power rack. So, drilled some pieces of 2 x 8 to accept a piece of 1 1/2" steel pipe. Cut the pipe to length so it would fit between the joists overhead. put a piece of 2 x 8 over each end of the pipe, slid them up between the joists and bolted the 2 x 8 to the joists. I use 2 ten foot lengths of 3/8 chain and some carabiners to form loops hanging from the pipe overhead. I suspend the bar in the two loops of chain. I can vary the height of the bar using the caribiner to change the length of the loop of chain. This is a great set up for doing partial or full reps for almost any exercise. I've worked with 500 pounds on the bar with no problems. Where there's a will there's a way. Brian, thanks for all you do and share, you're a great inspiration for all of us.

    As far as racking the trap bar, if you have access to a yoke with j cups (Rogue, I think Titan too), you can remove the center crosspiece and just move the uprights closer. Not quite as stable as a power rack but like Brian said you won't be using as much weight on the trap bar press.

      In the squat, yes? Just take some weight off the bar and concentrate on hitting depth. Tempo, box, and pause work can really help. Keep the weight on the bar at a level you can actually lift out of the hole without getting squirrelly, and concentrate on hitting depth every single time. Couple of weeks and it'll be habit.

    One variation ive been doing is overhead pressing against the rack. So ill press the barbbell against the rack itself as I press up. Ive never experienced tricep pumps in an OHP like this with low reps (2-4). Also if any of you guys have a buffalo bar, thats a great way to add more ROM to your OHP and bench.

    Awesome video Brian thank you, what are your thoughts on pausing in the rack position between reps while pressing vs a touch and go type cadence? I have been doing pauses because it makes the reps harder but honestly dont know if one is better than the other for strength development. I see you always doing touch and go, likely because you train for strongman. Just wondering if you have any wisdom for the different training effect of each. Thanks for all the effort you put into these videos.

    This is a very cool video with lots of new ideas. I have been using a SAND BAG recently as an overhead press variation. Any thoughts on that?
    My grip is with a flat hand As you lift it up it shakes a little bit not much but you have to stabilize it. Anyway even with lighter weights compared to barbell it destroys my shoulders in a good way.
