Shoulder Press 5-5-5-5-5 reps
This is not a push press. That means you should NOT bend your knees at all. This is a strict shoulder press. You will shoulder press significantly less weight than you can push press. Focus on making the bar travel a straight upward path. You will be tempted to lean back and compensate with your chest when it gets heavy. Do NOT give in to the temptation.
You can check out the form here. NOTE: This guy is a beast!

ReplyDeleteCouldn't try 80 because I don't have 2.5# plates at home.

Impressive Andrea. Nice job
ReplyDelete45-55-65-75(3)-65-70(3)
I also didn't have access to 2.5# plates so couldn't do 70. After finishing the workout with another set at 65#, I discovered I could use the 30lb training bar to get 70#. Too bad my shoulders were already fried at that point. :(
