great job on the db press, especially coz it was after the push press. hey mark, i got 95x1 on db flat press..is your PR is still 160x1?

[HHH396]

Thanks Zack! I haven't tested my db bench for a while but I would say it's about the same

[james87876]

[HHH396]

Thanks bro!

[Llamas2k1]

Excellent Job Mark, good push press technique, I have been working on those to improve my viking press cause I really suck at it!

BTW I like it when you say Papi! LOL

[HHH396]

Hey bro Thanks a lot! Yeah push press is a great all around exercise,perfect for strongman.

[409man]

awesome work brother, alot more reps than I can get!

[HHH396]

Thanks bro! Well u can get a lot more reps on bench than me,so we're even haha

[89jonster]

are you suppose to use your legs to push for momentum? cause in most workouts your suppose isolate the muscles your trying to train. someone answer if you know please

[HHH396]

That's why they call this lift a push press because u use your legs.A military press u do not use your legs.You can use more weight with the push press.I believe the push press is a better power builder.I use it for expolosive strength.

[89jonster]

thankyou

[HHH396]

your welcome!

[strongmann99]

Well that was preety cool! Were you happy with that?

[HHH396]

Yeah I am because I haven't done push press since october.I'm most likely going to jump up in weight next week.Probably anywhwere from 285-305.

[PapiLiftRaw40]

keep up the good work

[HHH396]

Thanks papi I appeciate the comment!

[HHH396]

Thanks buddy!

[HHH396]

Yeah I felt pretty good about pressing it for 8 reps not having trained them for a while.

And yes I still have the goal of 315 lbs....hopefully soon.

[HHH396]

Thanks Alex! Yes I'll try 265 x 8 next workout....see how it goes

[topformfitness]

I envy your overhead strength... it's my mission to get my own push press WAY up there in 2009! Keep it up!

[HHH396]

Thanks a lot! Stick with the push presses,they're a great exercise

[ZackAttack1978]

hell yea, Mark at his forte! Tell me, did me starting to push press motivate you to do this vid?

[HHH396]

Thanks Zack! A little bit,it just got me thinking,man I haven't done those in a while and I need to do them.

[ZackAttack1978]

thats exactly what i thought! they say strongman endeavors create a brotherhood, we understand how the other thinks

[A550RGY]

250x8 sounds like a PR to me! That's very heavy stuff. I can't even get 205 for 1, and you're repping 250 like it's packs of toilet paper. Awesome, bro!

[HHH396]

hahahaha I burst out laughing when I read pack of toilet paper,nice.Thanks bro....good to here from u.How is your lifting and dieting going?

[A550RGY]

lol thanks. The dieting is going pretty well... got down to 269 right before Xmas, and then bounced back up about 5 pounds because of all the parties and snacks. But now I'm getting back on track! The lifts using the chest and shoulder muscles are all down a lot, but most of the others are doing well and being maintained.

[PowerlifterTy16]

great job Mark! ur push press looked very strong. u might be able to max out a good 315LBS with push press. 5 stars!

[HHH396]

Thanks buddy! I'll go up in weight next week and see how I do.

[fastandrea]

Elite display of strength--you are in that rarified air where only the strongest dwell--make no mistake about it & you've earned every rep! ( simply the kickingest music to work-out to! )

[HHH396]

Thanks,yeah I was pretty pleased because I haven't done these since october.I think in the next couple weeks I'll be doing over 300 lbs.

[dario2004]

thats a strong push press Mark, 250x8 i don't even think i can do that right now, good job, stay strong

[HHH396]

Thanks Dario I appreciate that! Dario I bet u could do that with one leg....you're a powerhouse!
