I'm weak at the bottom of the press. If I can get the bar to about forehead level, I can lock it out. Right now, a PR attempt barely comes off my chest at all. Any suggestions for dealing with weakness at the bottom of the press?
I am going to press more often. I've been doing heavy push presses on one day and strict presses on another. I'm going to start doing light strict presses on a third day. I did that for the first time this week, and my OHP was decent today, especially considering I've had several weeks of bad OHP workouts. Yes, maybe the third day will function as DE work.
ChaseT, thanks for the links. I've seen those before, though. Rippetoe is the man.
Anyone mention pin presses? As in, pressing up against safety pins in the power rack isometrically.
You may also want to try doing strict presses for maximal acceleration on concentric portion with slow/normal eccentric portion...using chains or bands
pin presses are great and I thought of mentioning them originally but most people never go with this idea when mentioned in previous posts because of practical applications or whatever other reasons....
Thanks for the advice, devilsson.
Erco, I'd like to try that, but I'm not sure it would be possible in the rack I have to press out of.
