i spose i should start with some info in me eh?
My name is Jay. im from nova scotia canada. been competing in strongman 6 years now, ill be 25 in 5 days. 6'2" 270 lbs.
best lifts
500 raw squat/675 single ply
585 raw dead/705 single ply
405 raw bench
305 log
450 lb farmers walkx30 feet
1040 yokex 15 feet
260/280/320/360/380 stone series havent tried heavier in years
295 power clean
my question is, have any of you guys used board presses to help your over head lock outs? or just used them for bench and noticed a significant difference in your over head?
last season and the one before i made huge leaps in my over head pressing, but this season has been kinda crappy. ive tried what worked before, tried some new stuff and my over head really has been stagnant and even had some reverse progress!
i tend to keep it simple
front push press or behind the neck push press
side laterals or upright rows
reverse pec deck or rear laterals
some sort of strict press
and for triceps ive always relied on heavy cg bench, dips, and decline db skull crushers primarilly throwing in some other lifts now and then to keeep things fresh.
i did floor presses for a while, and they seemed to do more elbow damage than good. they helped some but every time my elbows touched down i felt pain in my elbows and wrists, boards seem like a good sub for them. but i was wondering if anyone here had any results from them as far as over head goes. and maybe other things you guys have done to build a big over head
thanks guys
