I became determined - in addition to hypertrophy'ing my ass into greatness - to build my upper body to unquestionable, "I'm here to fuck your girlfriend" status.
I was hitting bench and muscle press forever - without seeing the results I wanted.
I was hitting seat OHP and dumb bells overhead - slight bench incline - so I was hitting mostly upper chest.
Then - I started hitting, "The Press".
Standing overhead barbell.
With this lift, unlike seated - I can push my head through, which recruits primarily the upper traps, vs the upper pecs - to complete the lift.
Results.
I'm seeing them.
However - I max out at 65 kgs - which in contrast to my other lifts, ain't strong.
That being said - I'm only really getting a handle on the technique recently.
SPLIT STANCE - all day long.
I tried square stance, and it inhibits my shit.
Split stance - and I'm back on the road of progress.
What say you??
