RE: Slow and Steady wins the race

in #fitness7 years ago

Yeah I like overhead pressing too. Did you know that the overhead press is often considered the 4th exercise after the "big 3". It used to be the 4th exercise in powerlifting meets until flexible lifters started bending backwards to get more chest and less shoulder into it thus giving them an unfair advantage. I use dumbells for overhead lifting but I'm not that strong, I can get 10 reps using 30lb dumbells.

Sort:  

I did actually, and yea competitors arching and judges having a hard time determining if the press was good or not eventually caused it to be removed. hey man ten reps with 30's is awesome. I prefer the barbell just because it feels better to me but anything being pressed overhead in the gym has a good carry over to real life so keep rockin' on!
