Sean's Powerlifting Journey

What the hell are you talking about with that? You're supposed to slightly push the weight backwards at the top for full contraction of the traps.

I'm referring to the bar in the overhead position. You don't want the bar to sway backwards on you..Consciously doing it for a muscular contraction is obviously a different scenario

No. Olympic weightlifting shoes are designed with maximum ankle mobility in mind. Look at still photos of olympic weightlifters catching snatches and you'll see what I mean. I'm not really sure what you're talking about with the medius. You need to think in terms of movements instead of muscles.

Bro, do you even ankle mobility?? ;)

You sure about that?

Theres a video somewhere on youtube of a guy who dislocated both shoulders doing that same lift b/c the bar drifted backwards too much on him

There are hundreds of videos of people with proper stabilizing strength and technique who nail this lift around 250 times a week, not including warmups. Don't let the exception prove the rule. I'd bet if you asked him, he'd say "I should have had my scaps in a better position."

I agree.. But my point of advice was just cautionary. You don't want to be that exception..

We have some strong O lifters at my gym that compete. I think it's impressive.

I feel like the coordination and mobility would help me to improve. I kind of want to say that I can snatch and c&j and overhead squat. It's a rare skillset. I'd even put my balls on the line and compete once. I really would like to compete in all manner of strength sports. So what if I'm average at all of them? I like the different skills and different types of strength that each need.
 
Rodja said:
I'm becoming more and more convinced that you have not the slightest clue why you're talking about when it comes to technique.
Click to expand...

Well let me help clarify things for you then.. I said what I said because I wouldn't want to see him injure himself.
 
Way to double the weight I did on the standing DB press, I'm soft.
 
Rodja said:
Hurt himself doing the proper technique....do you realize how absurd that sounds?

Yea, no ****! An external rotation at the elbow from the weight drifting backwards creates a valgus stress on the UCL in the elbow joint. I never said what he was doing was wrong.. jesus dude

You want external rotation when OH pressing...
 
It's similar to the Tommy John surgery baseball pitchers are often plagued with..Too much external rotation on the delivery puts tremendous stress on the UCL.. But the potential injury following an OHP is more acute in nature and not developed over time like a pitcher..

Do you really think the degree of external rotation one can manage in an OHP is similar to a pitcher?

Absolutely not. But having a couple hundred pounds over head at the slightest angle could easily present just as much of a problem....

Just stop. Once you can deadlift 405 properly, then you can give out critique.

Any data to support your claims?

What do you want a prj? It's fairly simple to see how the joints in the elbow being exposed via an external rotation (pressing overhead) puts the stress partly on said exposed ligament. If it's not in a straight line, the stress gets partially directed to whatever angle is present..

You started on the shoulder, and now you've moved to the elbow. The weight is supported directly over the elbows in any pressing movement. A few degrees here or there doesn't hurt anything. Where have you gotten all of this misdirected information from, anyway?

I don't have to dead lift 405 to be able to give out my opinion. Get off your high horse, damn.

You have no credibility and it makes zero sense to listen to advice from someone that can't perform a rudimentary lift like the conventional deadlift.

My credibility in your eyes doesn't keep me up at night.. You take one lift which I am working on and assume that I don't know anything about lifting. Nice one dude..

I was referring to the elbow the entire time. But the part about shoulder dislocations we've seen happen before..yes they should've bailed on those lifts but they elected to use straps so.
 
See what happens when you try to be a hero and video an OHP!?!?!? You think that makes you a big man!?!?!

Whatever. Unsubbing. I don't feel like defending myself to you guys. My intentions were to help Sean and it ends up me having to prove my credibility..

It would help if you knew what you were talking about, but you don't.
 
It gives me a warm tingly feeling when I get on AM and see how well we all get along. Trololol

haha masters just finished. 62 year old, geared, pulled 485. Napalm will def do good raw compared to the other masters

Byrd and Lilly on at 11 I think
Click to expand...

Napalm is a bouss!

Lilly going out and competing with the world as he strives to get America to do, Raw. This is badass. Did you see Byrd getting his knees wrapped on youtube by one of the guys over there? Looked painful as ****.

Intro I recorded for you guys

Pavel makes KStarr look like a little bitch lol He's shirtless, hairy and barely speaking English the entire 38 minutes, yet he just explained how to squat perfectly within the first 2 minutes and it made sense

He hits on the major points and how to achieve them.

DB Lunges/Low Pulley Facepull(name?, breezy posted it)
40x5x10/60x5x15

I was just catching up on everything and saw this. Meadows called them "high-pull low rows". What'd you think?

Sounds good to me! I think it's become my favorite facepulling variation. I think doing it on the lat-pulldown machine is more difficult, but the low-pulley feels pretty effective. Beat my rear delts and traps up.

Nice, they're a new favorite of mine as well. They feel great in my rear delts, traps, and upper back overall. I'll probably keep doing them twice a week up until my show.
 
Jeez, go to a party and this thread blows up like 6 pages. My buddy had some $300/bottle tequila from mexico. S.hit was smooth = no hangover. Bunch of scantily clad 25 yr old filipinas too.

Nice nuking by rodja.

<----doesn't know what a bousss is...

I think "bousss" is Texas slang for 'Boss'

You dirty old bastard.
