niceee, i like how its outside

[HHH396]

Thanks! Yeah I like to lift outside whenever I get the chance.

[glueissticky00]

kaz owns your form

[HHH396]

My form on these are usually good.Kaz also has about 100 lbs of body weight on me.

[CertifiedOddBall]

damn....... you had that

[HHH396]

Yeah I'll get that and more next time out.

Thanks for the comment!

[haydencantact]

That was beautiful. You'll get there soon. Btw, do you ever train squats?

[HHH396]

Thanks my friend.I don't squat because of bad knees.I wish I could though

[cyberkai99]

Come on man, why the sad face after 305? That looked like a good lift to me. Also, what type of wraps are you using.

[HHH396]

Thanks man! I didn't like the fact that my right arm didn't quite lockout.The wraps are APT,they're excellent wraps,good and stiff.I like'em better than the Inzer wraps for push pressing.

[cyberkai99]

I asked because I'm considering buying some new wraps. Mine are wearing down from the 15 months of constant abuse.

Hi Mark. Have you considered doing something like smolov jr. (maybe with half the volume) for pushpresses? With that or some other periodization training, I believe you would blast those PRs in the near future. Well done and good effort at usual. Also have you considered hip belt squats to increase leg strength? I know your back is bad, but hip belt squats can build up quad strength without putting strain on the lower back! :) Good weight btw! :D All the best!

[HHH396]

Thanks Per! You're right I need some work in certain areas.I just haven't had the time or energy lately with work and all.Summer is a tough time for me to make gains.I'm just trying to maintain my strength at the moment.

Thanks for the advice,I appreciate it!

[kraftsportNO]

You are welcome. I just try to help. :) Keep training hard! :D

[pumping18]

best.... gym...ever

[HHH396]

Yeah working out outdoors is the best!

[fleiscd]

Great Video as always big man!

I'd say something about the Red Sox's shirt but as you're a BEAST and I don't feel like having sand kicked in my face and my milk-money stolen I'll let it slide, lol...

[HHH396]

Thanks my friend! haha don't tell me you're a Yankees fan? lol

[otk8963]

Great job on the 305... that was sooo close. Still Dude there isn't too many people who can even get 305 off the rack....Like me!!! You are what 230 push pressing 305...WOW! And 275 is 45 over your weight fantastic on that.

[HHH396]

Thanks Andrew! How is your lifting going? I look forward to some new vids from you soon!

[otk8963]

I just started a new job so I've be busy with that. you look strong in this video! Strongmanzack is right ...that 305 was pretty much a full rep dude.

[HHH396]

Thanks my friend....pm sent

[WeightLifterNerd]

Man the lockouts really rob you on the push presses, you almost nailed 305, on a good day 305 will go up, I think you just have some bad luck, plain and simple, it takes guts to post up lifts that are not progressions or failures, but its proof your still working hard!

[HHH396]

Yeah I really need to work on my triceps and lockouts.I haven't been doing much for tricep strength for a while.

[Cambria2007]

my new goal is to enter a local strongman comp within a year...but my only problem is I just started to do overhead pressing and I suck! I wish I could have some of your strength...awesome work as usual...very strong!

[HHH396]

Thanks Bro! You'll do fine man,you're strong as hell.You already have one of the key components,the deadlift and your legs are strong.Push press is definitely the lift to practice,that is very important to strongman.

[PowerlifterTy16]

great work Mark! you can can 305 on a good day.. im sure of that.. you were sooo close! 5 stars!

[HHH396]

Thanks Tyler! Yeah it's just hitting it on the right day.Look forward to some new vids from you!

[PowerlifterTy16]

yea i should have some vids up in a couple days.. stay tuned!

[BRETZERR]

Great job Mark! 305 was yours easy any other day...keep up the hard work.

[HHH396]

Thanks Randy! Yeah I'll get that and more when the time is right.Still have some work to do.

[409man]

keep up the attitude and the hard work mark! Its just a mental thing, give it another week or two and you will smash it!!!

gabe

[HHH396]

Thanks Gabe! Yeah you are so right,it's mostly between the ears.I've hit 275 for 4 1/2 reps like 3 times and haven't gotten 5....and 305 is def just mental!

[creepingdeth1981]

great job mark! i bet you were pissed as shit after the 305 because you were so close! did you try again after this attempt? i am 100% positive you will get it as early as tomorrow! hope your training is going GREAT!

[HHH396]

Thanks bro! Yeah I was mad a little....so then I tried 310 lbs and missed that too hhaha

[tlast2012dude]

[HHH396]

[fastandrea]

[HHH396]

Thanks! It was humid as shit when I did this

[HHH396]

Yes I think so also! Thanks buddy!

[HHH396]

Thanks Alex! I'm hoping for better next time ; )

[strongmanzack]

you always have good music with good lifting. gotta love it! That 305 was more like 9/10th a rep. Some circles would have called it good. Damn close!

[HHH396]

Thanks Zack! Yeah my damn right arm would not lockout....then I stumbled around haha.....I'll get it next time!

[SML693]

[HHH396]
