Go for it man even if there is a big gap the cool thing about strongman is that most of them are encouraging, even if you can only be in 1 of the events go do it. You get to taste what competetion is like, and sometimes you can even pick some other competetiors brain.

I love these exercise selection videos of yours, but I think they would be perfect if you were in the gym showing the exercise, for example I didn't even know what a JM press is. Or maybe talk in the office and then a little explanation in the gym giving some tips for the execution. It would make your videos so engaging, I always struggle to actually pay attention to someone who is only talking.

@Claire-cj6nn Ай бұрын

Glad to see i picked the right ones.. I do have an issue with triceps/lats/pec coordination due to nerve damage. I lately started a uni lateral dumbell exercise which is a bit of a combo to a bent arm pullover with a jm press. Constant tension and controll over the shoulderblade movement to engage my triceps. Getting great results with that and was able to bench better.

@Porkys.Powerhouse Ай бұрын

I’m kinda seeing a lot of comments of front raise not being a pressing movement, but it is. The anterior delt (front shoulder) is pushing muscle and it’s the only one used in a front raise. It seems he’s taking a more Strongman approach to pressing movements (makes sense) so he wouldn’t care so much about increasing bench but still incorporates bc that iiiis what most dudes care about. Seems like all of these would help significantly for pressing movements but primarily overhead type stuff (viking press, log press, and overhead press of course)

@IronManAkatsuki Ай бұрын

Overhead press is always my favorite. Great list!

@Pepe-pq3om Ай бұрын

JM presses are GOATed, there's no other exercise that gets my triceps so sore afterwards , and on top of that there's the benefit of really bullet proofing the tendons of the elbow and they're really good for armwrestling for that reason.

@JeffGonyo Ай бұрын

I don’t do it because I don’t have access to it but I always envisioned an incline barbell bench was the best pressing strength movement, glad I got that confirmation

Your content is the best in the biz in my opinion🫎💪That bench press cue about tucking those elbows and pressing the barbell towards your collar bones in an arc makes so much sense as I feel way stronger that way.. and the few times I miss a lift it feels exactly like I nested the bar too low on the descent or didn't ark the bar ...

Hi mitch, love what you're doing with the channel and all over the strongman arena. One of my favourite exercises is jump rope with a crossrope 3-5lb rope set. Wondered if you'd tried this and what you thought about it. Would love to see you try it. It kicks my ass at the end of a heavy lifting session.

Big Z liked a Seated Smith Machine Press as I recall. It's not dissimilar to the strict Viking Press really so could probably swap it in for that as I've yet to see a Viking Press in a regular gym..

He actually early in his career did it heavy behind the neck. For a long time. But then some injury or age catched him and he lost the mobility and switched to an front smith.

I use an elite fts saftey squat bar for the JM press. Take off the handles then you can do alot more weight and it keeps the form perfect. It feels better on your hands also with the thicker bar.

@OverAchieverStudios Ай бұрын

Recently having an issue with plateauing @ Bench Press - around 185 x 3 or 205 x 1 - has been my capacity for the last 5 or 6 months. Recently I decided to start using the machine press because I could go to failure there safely (no spotter) and have noticed strength increases within one week (185 x 4 ). After watching your explanation, what would you recommend instead to someone kinda plateaued at bench? I've tried using dumbbells as well, but didn't notice as immediate of a change - plus they feel a little risky for me. Thanks!

@dansmith9724 Ай бұрын

If it's a safety concern, try benching in a power rack. You won't need spotters and can train close to failure and if if you miss, the safety rails have you covered👍

@lk-ip1xs Ай бұрын

Regarding the bamboo bar: I never tried it myself, but I could imagine that training in instability can be helpful for when you are "losing" a lift. For example when you press an axle, and you are feeling like "damn I pushed to much backwards/forwards" I think Bamboo Bar training could help you to realign quicker and still make the lift instead of failing it.

@tttyyy949 28 күн бұрын

Holding axle overhead longer between the reps would be probably still better.

@lk-ip1xs 28 күн бұрын

@tttyyy949 I agree to a certain degree, however training it while trying to train pressing power would reduce the performance in the pressing due to fatique. For example if I do a hold at the end of the first set, I fatique myself doing that and cant perform the press as powerfully in the next sets, which is what I wanted to train in the first place. That's why I think it is better to do this at the end of a training session. Although as I said, I dont have a bamboo bar and never tried this kind of training myself, so I cant say how useful it really would be. Its just my thought process on how I would use that exercize and why, if I ever decided to do so

@tttyyy949 28 күн бұрын

@@lk-ip1xs if your press suffers for holding it a little longer at the top that's another reason to do it more to be honest. I could see that in high rep sets as an obstacle but 1-5 reps? That's something that shouldn't bother you to that extend.

@lk-ip1xs 28 күн бұрын

@tttyyy949 Its more the lower reps that holding fatiques, since you have to stabilize a much heigher weight... If I hold 140kg above my head for 10 seconds that takes way more out of me than if I hold 60kg above my head for 10 seconds... It's the same time under tension, but in the first scenario it is with a much higher weight, therefore the fatique from the static hold is higher

@tttyyy949 28 күн бұрын

@@lk-ip1xs 1. I was talking about holding your working weight a little longer between each rep not a hold at the end of the set. 2. 60 kg bamboo will not be equal to 140 on barbell if you want to translate it to a barbell exercise. Fatigue might be higher but it leads to better effect. Another thing is that holding heavy weight overhead is not _THAT_ fatiguing. If if takes a lot out of you than again you need to do it more than finding every way to change it to something else. The other thing your mobility might holding you back not allowing the bar to be behind your head at the top of movement causing it being more as active hold rather than hold in pretty comfortable position. It's like catching jerk in front - that's just not right position for holding the weight.

Imo Core + Strong Bracing is so neglected or maybe misunderstood by new/intermediate lifters that it becomes their weakest link for heavy OHP/Strength in general.

@RobiGold11 Ай бұрын

The only nitpick i have on this video is when you talk about the JM press. It would actually not train the longhead effectively because since it crosses the shoulder and performs shoulder extension, the longhead would actually not be able to contribute a lot since you are moving at the shoulder and performing shoulder flexion which is its antagonist motion. The JM press is an amazing tricep exercise but really for the lateral and medial head which are the two heads that do not cross the shoulder and are the most activated when performing pressing motions, again since shoulder flexion occurs in any kind of press.
