Mark Rippetoe: Weighted Press 1

[Ajeis13]

2:45 lold

[kibetsu]

I cant see the text on weights how much is that ? Looks similar to 10kg plates and smaller ones look like 5kg one. Anyone know lbs or kg ? :) and more importantly thanks to rippetoe for correcting my OHP :) i had elbows behind the bar in worst cases :S

[Ayan44]

kudos to that woman...

[mra95662]

@mrgodly1 - Wow, what a misinformed person.. Rippetoe is the training guru, You may have known that if you were anu sort of athlete.Boooo

[mrgodly1]

earnest teaches how to overhead press.

[Stratozenfan]

Important note. The blue shirt guy did it wrong, the orange dude right, orange dude had palms facing forward, blue dude palms facing upwards... just a handy pointer to check

[casper123]

Thanks for uploading.

[flashpadxxx]

is this a miltary press?

[steerider]

@flashpadxxx Military press is the same except in MP your feet are together. Military is more difficult because of the stance difference.

[danhantheman]

i thot i knew everything about basic lifts but i was wrong. Mark Rippetoe aint a fat old shit after all!

[Gebruikersbewi]

@danhantheman He sure as shit isn't. He did (I believe) 18 correct chinups the day before his shoulder surgey.

[MarcoDutch18]

Damn, I was doing this wrong for weeks now.. No wonder I didn't progress :( Feelsbadman...

[teedeex]

what do you think of having one leg pushed back? It feel like that give me more support and just feel better

[electronikita]

LOWER FAGGOT! oh wait...

[mooseutoo]

I think he was hittin on her when he starting talk about hips

[TheTrollWandering]

@mooseutoo Rip always has something to say about someone's hips, be it man or woman.

[ryanedwardhache]

Excessive cervical forward flexion and protraction of the head in order to accentuate the elevation of the scapulae, i.e. recruitment the upper fibers of the trapezius muscle to facilitate the shrugging portion of the press, seems to me that it (a) increases risk of injury to the cervical spine (b) needlessly stress the AC joints (c) increases the chance for subacromial impingement by creating muscular imbalances around the scapula and (d) does not contribute to pressing functional strength.

[flashpadxxx]

is that a Millitary Press??

[Obsidian1392]

ripp tell em to pause at the top not the bottom! stretch reflex people!

[mjs0077]

this kills my wrists sometimes

[Obsidian1392]

@mjs0077 your elbows are too low then

[youngthugga87]

should I tighten my glutes too in order to keep my back straight more easily or just my abs?

[Obsidian1392]

@youngthugga87 both

[DelinquentRodent]

Don't let the dog hump your leg while leg pressing.

[AceofDlamonds]

@vleon1012

same here my back is like a woman's curvature

[AceofDlamonds]

I can only press 30 x 10  :(

[awreckingball]

What poundage are those white plates?

[SwaffyX]

I don't even know what I can lift. I haven't bench pressed or any other type of gym work since ... about 4 or 5 years ago. I'm some below the average weight for a 19-year-old, so I think I'm fine without gym work. I play guitar for my church, so all I need is strong hands and fingers.

[Kreimehn]

Every gym should have a dog.

[Jograndable]

So how much are these plates?

Looks like 20Kg/45Lbs.o.O

[Zeerfs]

Those are technique plates, probably 5kg. So he's pressing 77 lbs.

[budssodas]

I loled so had at 2:49- 2:54

[ArcticSheep]

"when you get heavy" how is 130 NOT heavy for a military press?? i cant even do 5 80s :(

[unitedwestunt]

i thought its bad to hold your breath when doing this no?

[PrecisionFitness1]

@unitedwestunt You are correct. Performing the "Valsalva Maneuver" during a lift can be harmful even to conditioned lifters because it raises blood and intracranial pressure(s).

It is better to exhale on the concentric phase of a lift and inhale on the eccentric phase of the lift. For example: During a bench press, you inhale as the bar comes down and exhale as you press the bar up.

[Egendomlighet]

@PrecisionFitness1 in spite of what you say, the rate of cerebrovascular injury, even among competitive powerlifters, is negligible. compare this to the risk of spinal injury, which is fairly high, and it becomes clear the valsalva maneuver is necessary to remain tightness and support the spine.

in the context of the bench, holding breath during each rep increases tightness and inflates the chest cavity, providing a better attack angle and thereby increasing the weight that can be used

[PrecisionFitness1]

@Egendomlighet I do completely agree that the competitive lifters can increase their lift by performing the valsalva maneuver, and there is a noticeable increase in stability. Hence, the use in lifting. However, because of the potential downsides, it is not something that the average lifter should perform.

Creating spinal stability can and should be accomplished by performing proper TVA activation during a lift creating the correct spinal support without holding one's breath.

[Egendomlighet]

@unitedwestunt no, it is not bad to hold your breath.

[john444978]

why is ther a fucken dog in the gym?

[collwatt]

im curious about the wridt position when the arms are above the head. should they be bent back like oly do or stay straight as they do?

[trinity9011]

0:50 "think about moving the bar up" hes coaching a  fucking shoulder press! great tip!!! WTF

[7thSense]

wow, talk about shoulder impingement. Why would you have them throw their shoulders unnaturally backwards like that? terrible

[Zabbai]

@7thSense I think it's consider to be more of a classic or olympic type lift, specifically, when using it to train for olympic cleans....which I don't do, nor will I throw my shoulders back, like Mark recommends or lower the bar down to my chest. Going down to 45 degrees and back up is good enough for me.

[TOMatoPASTE2]

@7thSense has more to do with activating the upper back and scapula retraction. staying in front pounds away at the shoulder while pulling back promotes the whole shoulder/scapula partnership

[sanfransardine]

C-O-R-E

[dwain112233]

@FinalBossDesu how is it weaker if anything its weaker to be straight legged you can push a little with your knees

[dwain112233]

Wrong you can have then bent just don't go from bent to straight stay at one postion

[tempac91]

@FinalBossDesu

The trainer at my gym has told me to keep my knees slightly bent so as not to stress my lower back too much (or something like that). Is there any sense in what he said?

[tempac91]

Do you have to lock your knees or keep them slightly bent?

[Noutritionist]

He said to lock it in the video, so you don't have the tendency to use your legs.

[rctriplefresh5]

do these people pay mark to train with him?

[Rev0UK1]

don't think so, at a guess its some sort of high school / college gym where he occasionally works perhaps

[pliskin543]

thank you i bbeen doing press and could hardly do 135 now i know why thanks 4 vid

[Fullblaster]

Lol at the dude fucking up with a kettlebelt in the background.

[Mikinator]

hahahahahah

[glueissticky00]

@Fullblaster hes not fucking up.... its called a snatch dummy.....lol at you

[loltat123]

@Fullblaster I would've loved him to smack himself in the ballz

[kettlebellconvert]

so... is this opposed to an UNweighted press?

[paulwils0n]

Yes it is.

[aks73]

they're almost pushing it behind them. im trying this tonight

[DrewIsFail]

reply if you know what your talking about pls...

should/can you arch your upper back to get under the weight?

[coqui1337]

Yes and no. Your body should have a natural arch. However, you don't want to overaccentuate the arch because that's begging for an injury. Keep your abs as tight as possible when doing this to prevent overarching.

[DrewIsFail]

Thanks i reviewed by watching the movies over again, i was doing it wrong..

i moronically assumed i knew this lift going in and didnt review it properly.

[nikkonaa]

yea, don't arch your back like you're trying to wrap backwards over a physio-ball, keep it natural, your back and abs should be tight throughout the movement

[kettlebellconvert]

arch, i guess, hyper-extend, NO

[kwikslvr440]

yes, you can arch your back. Just make sure to flex your abs/ keep everything tight

his book Starting Strength volume 2 talks about it

[hangwitme]

there's a beagle! such a cute dog. anyways, mark rippetoe is awesome

[jecnunez]

@hangwitme That's a basset hound!

[hangwitme]

@jecnunez man i was like "what the hell did i say in that vid to have this reply" oh well yeah sure basset hound hehe

[eisenbaer78]

@hangwitme

This is no Beagle, but a Basset Hound. Incredibly cute Dogs :)

[chopsky]

@hangwitme That's not a beagle. It's a basset hound, and what the fuck is it doing in the gym?!

[PalerLaze]

@chopsky The basset hound wants to lift of course.

[MiicanStudios]

are the white weights just foam, or are they real?

[Davathin]

They're real, they are rubber bumper plates.
