Why not do both ohp and shoulder press? Do barbell ohp in a 5/3/1 style or whatever you chose and then have shoulder pressing as an assistance exercise... You can make 5/3/1 have more volume and still follow the same principles. Pretty sure the dude wrote about it in one of the 5/3/1 books

Gotta agree with birds on the 200 chins thing, unless 199 of them are those crossfit kip things...
-
Birds, if you had the flu/a cold why were you taking a broad spectrum antibiotic? was that prescribed a by a doctor?
-
That would have been a serious hassle to get out... Should have just left it!
-
By heave bar I assune you mean a pull/chin up bar that was mounted on a wall? Thats a little weird theyd make you take it down...
-
Do you have the deload every 4th week or are you going through 2 waves then deloading? Ive heard the progress is slow but steady with 5/3/1, I might give it a try soon.

If you are back to 76kg at 6'3, holy crap you must be skeletal now!
-
Thats your speed day and your meant to be moving the weight explosively to train the muscle fibres and neural system, its not to try and build muscle. Do a bit of background reading on louie simmons westside method and itll help explain the ideas behind each day

0.55 × 47.5 will give you what you seek

Dude in the red shirt is jacked! Do want those bumper plates and that bar though...
-
Anyone after a water meth injection kit and baffled tank set up? Can get pics
-
Its defs a fine line between cutting off air supply/blood flow and finding the right spot for the bar. If you find it hard to keep elbows up, wait til you start squatting with it. I get just as mucg of an upper back workout as legs doing them.
-
Yeh, the ones everyone in the ptc vids are titan golds which are super heavy apparently so ill be steering clear of them. I think when the time comrs ill see if I can try out some inzer true blacks or titan rpms which are meant to be a little less aggressive
-
I actually think they might be titan wraps. Ive never squatted in wraps so I might do some serious reading and maybe ask markos what he recommends
-
Safety bar squats are somewhat similar to front squats in that the weight is out the front of you a bit. I am doing them at the moment because I have niggling ac joint issue and front squating with the bar on it in the rack position hurts.
-
What are some good knee wraps? Everyone at PTC seems to wear the thick red stripes with yellow and black wraps, so i figure they must be decent. What brand are they?
-
270kg block pulls, thats pretty hectic. I pull more from a deficit than from blocks

Where to get Skyline Serviced
Mitcho_7 replied to r33skylinegtst's topic in Australian Capital Territory
where is the best place to get federal tyres in canberra these days, in desperate need of 2 upfront due to camber wear... -
yeh
-
Its meant to be up and going at both stations by end of this month I believe. Hoooray for legit e85, just in time for my flex fuel tune!
-
I couldnt agree more. When my shoulder pressing numbers go up so does my bench and vice versa. 125x 4 paused is awesome man! 135 was your last comp bench wasnt it?
-
Bench going up as a result?
-
I actually find front squat positioning/mechanics much easier to get good depth but obviously cant do as much weight. Keeping your elbows high and head up are really the only cues I use. As soon as the elbows drop its about 20x harder I find
-
You should easily be able to front squat the bar. Keep your head and elbows high. Just try bw with a broomstick til you get comfortable doing it Edit: TTT suggested broomstick as well, great minds think a like Crossed arms sucks, I prefer the other way
-
Im guessing you mean L5? T5 is a little high up ze back to be causing lower back/sciatic issues Either way, i really hope i can avoid ever having a serious lower back issue. Nick do you lift with a belt?
