Getting Physically & Mentally Stronger Through Barbell Training
Are you a little crazy? Do you think (and do stuff) different? When you die, what legacy will you leave?
Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.
Think different.
RIP Steve Jobs.
I'm going to do push press instead of regular military/overhead presses during my recovery day.
The reason why is Glenn Pendlay says:
The push press has more carryover to pressing in general – bench press etc. – than any other upper body exercise.
He also points out:
With a push press, you can put 10 to 20% more weight over your head. You're forced to develop the ability to recruit those muscle fibers very quickly because you're pushing the bar off your shoulders with your legs and then your arms have to come into play, fast, so it doesn't stall. The ability to do that is very, very valuable.
Second, with the push press there's just a huge overload at the top. That last six inches at the top is like doing a partial. That has a powerful effect on the body.
Works for me! Good thing I didn't end up push pressing the bar directly under my chin this time.
