OVERHEAD PRESS CHECKLIST - Strict OHP, Push Press, Jerk - My Favorite Variations, Split, Progression

[@GVS]

Like the new format! Very easy to follow along!

[@AlexanderBromley]

Thanks man. Truth is it's way easier for me, so I'm happy it doesn't suck.

[@Gymenthous]

One of the best on KZbin, hope your business will blow up you deserve it ! Not everyone put up such content for free ! Thank you, keep it up !

[@RonnieLunn84]

I always use push jerk in competition, and I definitely think if you do you should train it for specific blocks since it is very technical. It's really my specialty and has allowed me to out press guy 100lbs heavier than me. My PR on strict press is 225, while push jerk I've hit 315, so that's a HUGE difference, and I don't know why more people in Strongman don't use it. You're right, it shouldn't be used for building strength, but it does need to be practiced fairly often to get good at it just because of the technical nature. Also, it always hammers my traps hard.

[@CCSABCD]

Perfect breakfast timing.

[@scottspringston9162]

I can't wait for the deadlift check list!!!

[@TheLouisianan]

The stylus on the computer brings me back to dynamics and deforms in college lol. This is an awesome presentation method though Bromley, keep it up!

[@DarkDrake5481]

Please do a book on progressions! I would love to be able to set up a plan and just plug and play progressions.

[@richardmachovec7994]

you have the gift of teaching....best wishes as you exercise that skill

[@aavila1206]

Favorite and must fun lift but definitely takes the most determination to press heavy

[@Kevwho123]

I love this change - I saw one of your older videos and was just thinking that you should do this because your videos are generally longer formatted. Guess you already had it on your to-do list!

[@ethantrainingyt]

Your content is amazing. Thank you for this.

[@oakcitystrong]

Wow, literally 3 weeks ago I decided to hell with Bench let’s blow up the OHP. Watching this start to finish!

[@CrazyLocoInsane1]

I have said the hell with bench along time ago lol. Bench goes up so damn slow I have done 3 times a week to 1 times a week. I have done bench with bands and chains. I have done close grip to a wider grip. I have done floor press close hand to wide hand. I have done dumbbell presses. I used pause reps for all and inch pause for all and still I can’t move up in weight that much in one fucking year.

[@jamesknight1529]

The best strength content on yt by a long shot, thanks as always Bromley

[@pancakespushups4318]

Dude thank you so much for this video. I’ve been stuck at 245lb strict press for a while. This video came just in time.

So glad for this video. So many are about sbd. Definitely need more about ohp. Thanks!

[@scottb4767]

The presentation went well overall, well done! I didn't think I was going to be digging your new format of more videos, but I got to say, I was wrong. Appreciate you sharing your knowledge and your delivery!

[@brucerazey8644]

Your videos are very helpful and appreciated. Thanks for sharing your expertise.

[@bengaston1620]

I really like this set up 👍🏻

[@fazzolarijames]

My favourite lift, thanks Bromley

[@scato]

I really like this approach to the videos. The presentation is way better than being "just a talking head" in front of a whiteboard. Thanks and keep it up!

[@AlexanderBromley]

Glad to hear it. I feel like it's more cohesive and I can speak more naturally.

[@theghosttiger1446]

Think my ohp will increase if I begin every workout with a few sets of ohp and go hard on shoulder days?

[@cheeks7050]

Book of progressions please!

[@victorognev6263]

Hi Alex. New sub here. What do you think about OHP as an accessory for bench? Do you think it is overrated and there is not much carryover (strength wise)? Should powerlifters do it ONLY if they want to focus on direct shoulder hypertrophy?

[@AlexanderBromley]

Probably the MOST overlooked movement by bench specialists. The consensus among strongmen is that improvement in the bench press doesn't predict success in other movements.... but improvements in the overhead press have a dramatic effect on bench, even if you haven't been benching. Only big consideration if you haven't been doing them is making sure you can include both without them interfering with each other or causing overuse issues. But that's a consideration with everything.

@@AlexanderBromley pretty crazy stuff isnt it! I really wish they would just bring back the clean and press though Shi zhiyong is another push jerker whos competitive, pretty rare to see in weightlifting

[@tjcogger1974]

I wanna see a strongman squat-jerker. Lol

[@AlexanderBromley]

I would bet that one is coming. There is a new surge of split jerkers in the 105kgs to go along with the sloppy starfish jerks. Matter of time before a former Oly lifter or someone who is just mobile and coordinated comes in and shows everyone that we've been working too hard push pressing lol.

[@theultimatederp3288]

So Alex. I have a question. Are loaded carries useful for people in general or is it more of a Strongman specific exercise?

[@gracefool]

Definitely the former. Superb for all-around core strength and conditioning. If you don't believe me, check out Dan John or Brian Alsruhe - or just try some for a month or so.

[@jeffs9943]

Any chance at doing a review of Nuckols Bulgarian Method?

[@AlexanderBromley]

I'll look into it!

[@Fearcely]

My right forearm gets a shock feeling sometimes for a split second when the bar is coming back down, close to the bottom. It feels like those fake gum things that shock you when you pull them. Lol. It’s like a few inches down from my thumb, right arm, on the top side. Anyone else experience this?

[@VinnyMickeyRickeyDickeyEddy]

Wrist wraps might help. I always use those if I’m holding a lot of weight. If not, an orthopedic specialist doc will let you know the cause and how to prevent.

[@jamesbedwell8793]

Two notes on this format, The far right of your screen doesn't make it into the video, so try not to put anything important there, and also regarding levity try just taking a break halfway through filming and then coming back with energy. Otherwise, good stuff

[@AlexanderBromley]

Thanks for the feedback! I have control over the zoom, just have to make sure I don't cut anything off in editing. Might resort to improv classes to learn how to lighten up the presentation.

[@dsfsddude9336]

Great video, personally I dont care about the format.... do the one you like better

[@dessertstorm7476]

I did behind the neck press for a few weeks and now I have an impingement.

[@Logan-zv4xg]

Really? I've been doing it for about a week and it feels fine for me. I'll be careful with it I guess

[@dessertstorm7476]

@@Logan-zv4xg yeah, people always say see how it feels. I was using light weight, I felt a stretch but no pain. I think I gave it a responsible try, but got an injury anyway

[@gracefool]

I do it heavy no problem. But I have good shoulder mobility, and I started carefully and built up gradually. I love how it involves so much upper back.

[@Daniearp]

I've been doing them for 5 weeks now and feeling good, I guess it varies by person. Did you go heavy?

[@LTPottenger]

It works better if you start as a teen. If you are 25+ don't bother you may not have the flexibility. I have a wrecked shoulder from a bench press accident and now I do seated one arm dumbbell presses and lean slightly back and to the side to open up the joint slightly and that does the trick. I do it in a similar manner to arnold press but with a lower start. This is much more natural. In the really old days they did 80 degree incline bench press for heavy weight which is much easier on the shoulders.
