hey man i do push presses my self and they really helped build up my strength but is there a difference between having a staggered stance compared to more of a square stance i use a staggered stance but what is the difference
all time personal best, 605 squat, 551 deadlift, 400 bench.
right now, can still deadlift and bench around my personal best, but because of my leg developement over the years for bodybuilding, I had to switch stance from a sumo squat to a narrow stance because I was getting flagged at my meets for range. so its taking time for me to get back to the 600s, but around 525 to 550, so maybe in a year or 2, i can get back to 600s lbs for squats with new stance
Although other muscle groups are involved, push press is primarily a deltoid exercise and should be done with shoulders. Since it is a compound movement it should be done towards the beginning of your workout in order to allow you to use maximum poundage.
as an olympic weightlifter, i would say the push press, which is an assistant exercise for clean and jerk purposes, is done primarily with the legs, not shoulders, if you disagree with me, how does a 62kg olympic lifter with far less shoulder muscle than Tuan, push press 120kg overhead? the answer is mainly leg drive, flexibility and technique
making the push press a very effective exercise for all types of sports and improvement in athletic abllity whether for power lifting, bodybuiding, olympic weight lifting, football...etc.
when glycogen is low, your body will move into beta oxidation when doing cardio and resting throughout thenight, which is what you want as a bodybuilder
Could you please give us some information/video that shows us what you eat on a daily basis? Cause as you ofcourse know that's 2/3 of the work for Bodybuilding.
Tuan, everytime I am sore after a workout, I always see results in my physique and strength increases. I haven't noticed much results whenever I workout and don't get sore. So, with that said, soreness=results. What can I do if I no longer get sore?
there many reasons why you are not sore, too many to list. do you have even enough variaty of programs to use though out the year? I myself will go through up to half a dozen for either bodybuilding or powerlifting alone. if the body adaptes, of course you will not be sore anymore for the body has adapted to what you have been doing. also, you could be overtraining. however, one thing is for sure, something is wrong with your training if you can not create soreness
For your chest do you do anything such as declined?
Decline bench, decline dumbbells or dips something of that sort? what do you think really helps to get chest mass? because i can only bench 45's on each side but i can use 65lbs dumbells with great form around 8 reps.
this is a question that is very complex. no possible way I can answer this in 1 or 2 sentences. nutrition, supplements, periodization of training, volume, variations, mobility exercises, understand what is your somatotype...etc all need to be covered if you truely want results. if you want me to help you, sign up for my training program on line at the top right of this page. until you respect how complex the human body is, it will be imossible to make it changes that you wish to make
So which is the better shoulder lift: military or push press?

power lifting is all about how much weight you can lift.
body building is all about how you look like.
