Over Head Axle Press Workout

[TheRealDealGuitarist]

yo Elliot! im16 years old and play high school football player. i play Defensive end and im playing fullback as well next year. Im looking to put on some solid size and strength as well as speed. i weigh 195 and my maxes are 325 for bench, 405 for squat and somewhere between 235 and 250 for power clean. i feel like my shoulders are lagging. is there any way you would be able to help me out? i recently heard that the clean and jerk was supposed to help with this? could you show me the form?

[lordbahari]

@TheRealDealGuitarist learn to see them as muscle groups instead, if you feel youve got a weak link all you got to do is work around that muscle group most exercise that work with shoulders will require some biceps, some pecs, some back and we if you want proper upper body str i suggest you dont see them as a part but rather as a link in a chain

[Afflacredm3]

I really like how you are playing Jay-Z's Reasonable Doubt album in the Gym!!! More like love it,

[Koseiku]

[Zavfir73]

hey elliot, a question. when you do this exercise, does the jerking action brings a lil bit of the intensity to the legs?

[akl4ngi]

[franchyze922]

@akl4ngi yea back when jay z was good

[krb0123]

[LookAtMeNow450]

[leetreapers300]

@LookAtMeNow450 wow. much hate. fag begone.

[100tonlifter]

If Jesus lifted weights I imagine this is what he'd look like.

[tiddy142]

is that bar heavier than a normal olympic bar

[leetreapers300]

@tiddy142 no

[kanonlyq]

LOL love the ghetto clippers

[MrCribbss]

lol, nice clips to hold the weight on.

[shadowknight132]

Hey Elliot! Are you interested in martial arts?

[runescapeclassicable]

Whats the difference in

axle press

push press

jerk press

shoulder press

military press

clean press

split-jerk press

overhead press

please tell me !!

[derangedbanana]

What race is he?? I can't tell.

[youndandrestless]

@derangedbanana Who gives a shit, Elliott is badass. 'Nuff said, do work.

[OiAbA]

Elliot what, if any is the weight difference between an Olympic bar and that axle bar?

[neurotoksin]

Jay-Z <3 

[NYK2O]

So you exhale pushing up the weight? I usually hold it in...push the exhale

[Z6LI]

how much is that bar in kg ?

[claritycome]

Brutal!

[AmateurVisions]

Elliot, really enjoying your videos....if I ever make an overseas trip to America (from Australia), I'llI make sure to stop by and hi. I'd like to know your thoughts on the Poliquin Principles?

[MCote123]

fuckin eh dude..you're a beast!

[MrAntb1]

dem clips, nice idea ;D

[letrasherfou]

STRONG ELLIOT!! ;)

[frankie3p]

How much does the axle bar weigh?

[TheMaazTube]

I was thinking no, biggie, I can do that...until I saw the two reds on each side. And axle bar at that. Lol. Elliott, the muscle geek, made it look easy. Lol.

[shurdawg]

Lol I wonder if elliot is aware of TMW :p But no joke, elliot could move a fucking train if he wanted to.

[bimmerdude11]

Hey Elliott, do you sell those STRENGTH CAMP silicone bracelets?

[MORETHANOVERGROWN]

Aren't these jerks, not push presses? Not hating, just asking out of curiosity.

[strengthcamp]

@MORETHANOVERGROWN yes, you are correct.

[HappierHealthierYou]

@strengthcamp Elliott, quick question about your squat video. Elbows down I got that part, but do you poke your chest out as well? Thanks

[Meetero]

if you're worried about his grip, should see him when he presses an actual car axle.

[RoCnChriS]

nice

[lovejazzy805]

nice =)

[iamdrewi]

why all the criticism? Elliot's obviously a viking

[lagangsta1]

I was wondering what the difference is between the axle and the regular barbell? is it just more weight with the axle or is there a functional purpose? thanks great vids these have been helping me out tremendously

[cfcjt93]

@lagangsta1 it's larger, therefore it stimulates your forearms more and alternates your grip which hits the muscles differently. Slight changes can make all the difference in your workout

[BurtonBao]

Those are some bad ass weight gripers lol

[EliHaynez]

i like how elliots comments get progressively snappier from people criticizing him about his grip

[DroppinPounds]

lmao everyone is using twinmuscleworkout terminology of "Snapping shit up" hahaha

[MrMbogza]

i want cool, red plates with 7 holes in my gym ..... 

[dantemustdie94]

Beastlyness accompanied by sick workout tunes

[boby6]

fucking monster

[mecaganopoderentrar]

Yo Elliot, I love your videos, you know your shit, so I wanted to ask you: could you give us your thoughts on Methoxyisoflavone products? do they work? are they risky? Have you, or would you use them?

[JustElijah]

What's the difference between a jerk, a millitary press, a shoulder press and an axle press? I apologise in advance if my question requires a lengthy answer :P.

[flyinmonkey3114]

to each his own brother .....even tho Elliot is right

[puran214]

Eliot my Coach said your thumb should go around the bar not behind the bar cause of the tendency of dropping it

[AmsterdamHeavy]

@puran214 let me see your coach press 225+ overhead on a 2" bar and then he can offer advice - you ever try to do ANYTHING with a 2" bar?

[strengthcamp]

@puran214 hes right, but a 2" axle changes the rules.

[Victorioushunter]

@strengthcamp

I actually find it more comfortable militarypress/OHP with that grip.. and the same deal with pullups. Keep it up Elliot,show them the light! : D

[Revortay1]

Yo Eliot I like the new squeeze page!

[palatialregalia88]

this guy isnt the third hodge twin stop saying "snap some shit up man"

[thatstheguy07]

Fuck Wit Dre Day! Love that song. Brings me back ;)

[6946375]

Holy shit

[bigamejames1]

'The Chronic"

[TheRomy31]

@strengthcamp Yo Elliott do you step forward for this and if so do you alternate which leg you put forward?

[loupremo]

how much is membership to your gym?

[wowknoob]

225 lbs shiiit

[sarithp2]

Elliott, quick question about your grip. Do you always keep your thumb back like that? is that the best grip for presses? or is that just a personal choice?

[strengthcamp]

@sarithp2 only with this thick ass axle



[InferiorThanYou]

@strengthcamp Good stuff, glad to see you still using thick bars. I love training with thick bars wouldn't have it any other way.

[mlbirdinground]

Punishin punk muthufuckus REAL QUICK LIKE

[RickyRamosFitness]

What races are you?

[daluke61]

Pressin' or Jerkin'? Sounds like the feet are in play.

[SirRousis]

How much does the axle bar weigh?

[xSamxStormx]

Nice thick traps on yeah.

[zebrazebra1990]

suicide grip? you gon snap some shit up man!

[strengthcamp]

@zebrazebra1990 seems like everyone is worried about me "snapping shit"... look, if you're concerned about "snapping shit", then don't do it. I'm strong enough not to worry about that and "snapping shit" is the last thing on my mind.

[b0ob0]

@strengthcamp wow, dick, he was just commenting on the grip and expressing a concern he wasn't saying ur not strong or that it was bad form.

[jayhustlehard]

@strengthcamp everyone is worried because theyre strength comes from relying on straps and hooks to complete the movement nowadays, ive been using suicide grip for years with the same comments and like you said, snappin aint my concern!

[InferiorThanYou]

He don't live in snap city. This is where the walk and talk gets done at.

[LTMagic21]

@zebrazebra1990 the bar is exceptionally thick, and much harder to grip. Also, stop listening to the fucking twins. They don't know shit compared to Elliot, nor do they have even a faction of the strength and experience that he has.

[DAAREN5455]

@zebrazebra1990 haha u been watchin twinmuscleworkout's vids too much

[Squish888]

@zebrazebra1990 I used that same grip for bench. For some reason it just feels better on my wrist..

[StokedBeastMotoDr]

@zebrazebra1990 your a .... sheep

[zebrazebra1990]

@StokedBeastMotoDr lol

[Flankermatty94]

lookin good hulse!

[TheEinstienian]

Dr. Dre nigga!

[swifttiga]

that's one thick bar

[Drumderful]

This man is a fucking machine !!!

[wisdometernal]

I noticed no one ever tries to use a closed grip on thick bar training. Even if the bar isn't to thick for it. Ist that because an open grip like this is better for the application?

[Tias858]

kids creepin in the back

[MrCjb11baker]

dude ur a beast

[dunlea2k8]

thumbs up for the music haha

[commandant15]

immortal technique on steroids

[VERKZOR]

Nice ;)

[JakesHomeWorkouts]

Thick barbell, now that's tough stuff.

[MaaNonu123]

awesome

[lThundaShock]

do you prefer push press over overhead press?

[jontehaag]

How much does that axle weigh?

Also is that axle the same thing as an apollonbar?

[pure4lifeg]
