I feel the grind dude. honestly it never fails to surprise me how differenly to each other are humans build. My strictpress PR is currently "just" 85 kg, but pushpressing 130 kg is double (not tng) in a good day.
Yes lots, but only if it has a functional purpose (either increase strength and power or prevent injury). Lu raises, face pulls, lat pulldowns are examples. I don't do isolation work that has minimal functional purpose, so bicep curls, flat chest/bench press, and most machines are not part of my routine.
Dropping the weights after a heavy overhead lift does actually help in recovery by helping to avoid an unnecessary re-ack of the weight since he is on a lifting platform using bumper plates.
Once it’s heavy enough for a person to be a serious lifter it’s ok. It’s annoying as hell when a beginner or mediocre lifter is slamming 225-365 in deadlift, or even 405. Slamming literally means you’re weaker and losing out on benefit in the slow lifts. In the Oly lifts, though, the descent puts the body under more strain than the ascent without comparable benefit. If someone is jerking or push pressing over 225, a slam isn’t cringe and infuriating, especially in an Olympic lifting or sports performance gym
That was a grind but you got it. Great press
shows how much momentum really helps in lifts

Very good.
nice work!
Good lifts Mr Pope
I’m going for my first 60kg strict press tomorrow!
How'd it go?
@@charlesevanspope I got it after a 10 second grind!
@@Quinstotthater that is a gnarly grind
Strong asf
Do you ever do isolation work like curls, push downs, lateral raises, etc…. For your upper-body. Or do you only do compounds?

I've heard throwing the weights helps in muscle recovery and it makes you look cool. Also, it gets people to turn with interest.

Does your wrists not hurt when bending them during shoulder press?
Whats your bodyweight though, you look about 100kg so thats relevant to bodyweight
im gonna go out on a limb and say pushing 120kg is pretty impressive regardless of body weight
I weigh 97.5kg right now.
amen
