tylerm Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 Got 185 lb up for a push press PR by 10 lb. I have only been doing these for 2 months or so, and just had a 25 lb PR a few weeks back. I am aiming for my bodyweight of 215 lb, so I will see what I can do by the year's end. It is a little competition over at veganfitness.net to see who can get their bodyweight overhead first (aside from several people who already can). I have gained 5 lb in the last few weeks though, so I am making it tougher on myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kollision Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Hi there Tyler, What is a Push press by 10 lbs? What does that mean? Not Push Ups right? And if it is pushups, how many reps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tylerm Posted November 16, 2005 Author Share Posted November 16, 2005 Kollision, I got a Personal Record at 10 lb over my previous record. A push press is a standing overhead barbell press using a bit of leg drive. I got 185 lb for a single today, a couple weeks ago I maxed out at 175 lb. By the look of your arms you can probably strict press it But I will get there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbwii Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 I guess the push would be the jerk from the clean and jerk! either way well done on your pb tylerm! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kollision Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Thanks for the compliment Tyler. If what I understand from your explanation and from what Bigbwii says, then I know what you are talking about. That's an Olympic lift and it's pretty hard to pull it off especially if no one taught you. That's some great stuff man, congratz! Good luck on your next PR man!

bronco Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 I guess the push would be the jerk from the clean and jerk! either way well done on your pb tylerm! Not exactly I think because with a push-press you dont duck under the bar like you would in a jerk? Anyway, great work tyler ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonathan Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 i do still kinda duck under the bar. but its not a proper C&J. anyways my pb is 200lbs for a single. its on its way up, and i think that i will make 220 (100kg - pretty important to me) by the end of the year jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
