thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you

[i14d14]

Solved every problem in 20sec

[enchilada702lv]

what about butt press ???

[Kachorro777]

Awesome!!! Great video! I needed to see this

[pianoboy75]

very good video showing the differences of three closely related exercises

[Pihasanddunes1]

Good video, the differences are well set out.

[summersubstructures]

this is the funnest exercise, 2nd to deadlifts for feeling strong.

[playboyv12]

@summersubstructures Agree completely.

[AGanimeH]

You need to make moar of these videos, they are great.

[moneytimesfifteen]

straight up this is a fucking awesome video

[speedykthx]

your feet dont make a difference in the "push jerk"? (is that what crossfit re-labeled a power jerk?) ya...they do actually, you dip keeping the weight ON YOUR HEELS (not on your toes like this guy because it causes you to end up pushing the weight in front of you and not in to the slot) JUMP explosively with the weight than push your self under the bar while re positioning your feet wider apart, catching at the same depth you dipped too

if you dont know wtf you are talking about, dont talk

[TheBruiser012]

@speedykthx there is no need to jump or to reposition your feet. Just to push the weight up and get under it without using your shoulders to press in anyway.

[eduardazo]

Too bad i'm not a triplet

[w00tplayaw00t]

Most resourceful video. Thanks for clarifying.

[815Rider]

Excellent illustration of the different styles.

[sakelee]

the guy doing presses didnt want to stop xD

[happymand]

Not to be a downer, but ur feet are supposed to leave the ground when you do a push jerk.

[Nikko1255]

@happymand you are wrong, the feets are not important, you are suppose to go down under the bar, not jump.

[happymand]

@Nikko1255 No the feet are what make all the difference. Other than that the lifts are all the same...

[hYpNoXiDe]

@happymand .......Uh, no. They aren't. Even watching the demonstration here it's obvious. Do you even lift?

[rctriplefresh5]

@hYpNoXiDe i love how idiots who don;t even lift think a military press is done wit hfeet together.

[hYpNoXiDe]

@rctriplefresh5 Uh... okay.

[rctriplefresh5]

@hYpNoXiDe what ind of gay response is that? you make me sick!

[happymand]

@rctriplefresh5 Oh and by the way in this video, on the 2nd and 4th rep his feet leave the ground. The 1st and 3rd rep are done incorrectly.

[happymand]

@hYpNoXiDe Uh are you even out of middle school? I wouldn't be commenting if I didn't know what I was talking about. You on the other hand...

[hYpNoXiDe]

@happymand Keep jumping as you lift. You'll be making bro's laugh for ages. gjdm

[happymand]

@hYpNoXiDe Lol actually I do at NC State football lifting session every day. And no one laughs.

[hYpNoXiDe]

@happymand Oh in that case you are most definitely an expert on weightlifting. (notsrs)

[happymand]

@hYpNoXiDe Never said I was an expert... Way to be a douche.

[hYpNoXiDe]

@happymand So you admit you're not an expert but here you are preaching bullshit as though you were. Please, continue, your ideas intrigue me.

[happymand]

@hYpNoXiDe Lol what so you are an expert? You just do push jerks and shoulder presses all day? Fuck you talking bullshit like you got some kind of standing in this conversation. I actually lift 5 times a week, and I have coaches specifically paid to tell me how to lift properly. So no, I'm not an expert, but I know more about the subject than you do.Your ignorant arrogance is pretty funny.

[TheBruiser012]

@happymand When you lift 5 times a week using any of the lifts in this video or similar lifts thereof, providing that your actually training for a sport such as Gridiron or Rugby, then

YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG.

[happymand]

@TheBruiser012 Dude I wish I understood the point ur trying to make. What is "it" that I'm doing wrong? Playing football for scholarship at a Division 1 ACC college?

[TheBruiser012]

@happymand Your feet do not need to leave the floor when you're push jerking, dumbest shit I've heard about the lift. And footballers don't lift 5 times a week, unless they're on a split, which if they are - is simply wrong. I don't give a shit which college you go to or what league you're in, if your doing a split for football, you're doing it wrong.

[Beautyofmachines]

@happymand LOL "the lifts are all the same". Excellent bro science.

[happymand]

@Beautyofmachines Wow way to take what I said out of context. But yes, except for the legs they are all the same. Have a nice day.

[zozenis]

DONT SAY THAT!

[funk192]

Still a little jerk in his push press, and not that much jerk in his jerk. ie his jerk and push press are too similar

[PLoFresh]

I always thought it was funny that people call it a "push jerk"....cause how are you going to jerk without a push? haha. I prefer to call it a "power jerk." Nice video man, keep up the good work

[urhunted]

Oké thats nice to know, thnx dude

[d50111]

beast.

[kettlebellconvert]

anyone else think is hands are out kind of wide? maybe his body just works that way?

[KebabTitan]

@kettlebellconvert you have less distance to travel then, allows slightly more weight, same with bench

[dangerosslee]

glad i came here, very helpful video. its the wod

[californication111]

Hey, cool! Thats the Crossfit WOD today

[toxicwaste26]

is it just me or does this video seem hilarious? lol

[MrJasonBkn]

that now a fucking jerk press you jerk

[1999drifter]

What the fuck is wrong with this clown MrJasonBkn???

[plank3000]

perfect video

[marcosdoliva]

Excellent video. Exactly what I was looking for for today's wod.

[omar6182]

so is the only difference between the push press and push jerk a little more involvement with legs? clarify please, thanks

[willis1116]

With the Jerk you tried to lift the weight while you knees are bent to reduce the distance bar needs to travel thus creating the lifter the ability to lift more weight.

[TruthAxe]

In the Push Press, the lifter relies on upward lift through the glutes, hams and erector spinae while doing a shoulder press.

In the Push Jerk, the lifter drops into a half squat, presses the weight, locks his elbows for stiff arms and then relies on his glutes, hams and erector spinae.

Far better exercises exist for the athlete.

Use dumbbells or sandbags for the press.

Skip the push press and push jerk. Leave those for Olympic lifters who compete in a highly-specialized sport.

[BigVick26]

great video.

[tanz83]

This vid is useful! Thanks.

[KaseemD]

Wow, we got some ignorant people commenting here. This is a great video, thank you and to all you chumps out there, pussies act hard over the net.

[freedomsoldier187]

thats military press not shoulder press ?

[joshuab1815]

idk either they look the same to me

[TruthAxe]

A military press must have the lifter make his heels touch.

A shoulder press has the lifter stand with feet shoulder-width apart.

[eamonob84]

isnt military press when you're sitting down, though?

[TruthAxe]

No.

[kettlebellconvert]

@eamonob84

"military" press is a retarded version of the press where you stand straight and tall and dont move anything except your arms, thus pushing the bar NOT directly overhead- a stupid and inefficient way to lift it. add the word "seated" to something to make it seated, usually.

This is simply the press, or overhead press, or shoulder press- though the word "shoulder" is redundant- how can you press anything without your shoulders?

you press it OFF your shoulders i guess...

[yaklord]

@kettlebellconvert

leg press, tricep press, calf press, neck press, finger press, toe press...

[kettlebellconvert]

@yaklord

what the hell are you talking about?

[yaklord]

though the word "shoulder" is redundant- how can you press anything without your shoulders?

[kettlebellconvert]

@yaklord

ah, well those are stupid muscle-isolating exercises i try not to think about since they are such a waste of time for virtually everyone.

[Maxdwolf]

@yaklord  Leg press.

[tlast2O12dude]

@kettlebellconvert good point, hahah.

[videocontestwarriors]

Extremely clear and straightforward. Thank you!

[tlast2012dude]

omg GRATE VIDEO!! OMG AMAZING, now i get it!

[theTosh]

I cannot refute you are dumb. Blatant sweeping generalisations such as your claims don't merit argument - only ridicule.

[TruthAxe]

Push press = useless momentum that leads to wasted training time.

Push jerk = joint damage to elbows, hips and knees.

[theTosh]

TruthAxe = DumbAxe

[TruthAxe]

You amuse theTosh.

The world sees that you cannot refute truth so you resort to an ad hominem attack.

Good luck with your false belief living.

[tychver]

I don't see many olympic lifters with damaged elbows, hips and knees.

[TruthAxe]

And you researched the incidence of joint injury among Olympic lifters how exactly?

Also, Olympic lifters receive precise coaching on the techniques of OLs.

The typical gym rat or CrossFit kool-aid drinker lack supervision and coaching to make these lifts properly.

Outside of the sport of OL itself, none of these lifts adhere to the MEMR principle for proper athletic training crossing over to on-the-field peformance.

[tychver]

Me? I didn't.

But these guys did, for 6 years:

Injury Rates and Profiles of Elite Competitive Weightlifters.

by: Gregg Calhoon, Andrew C C Fry

Journal of athletic training, Vol. 34, No. 3. (July 1999), pp. 232-238.

It's an interesting read.

They don't need crossover, they are gpp, sgpp at best. Plenty of throwers use squat jerks and push presses as a whole body explosive GPP exercise.

[TruthAxe]

Great. So what is the incidence? Also, have you researched the incidence of joint injury among recreational lifters? If, so what is the incidence.

Have you compared the two incidences?

A key factor shall arise. Olympic lifters receive precise coaching on the techniques of OLs.

Other athletes and especially those workout in general end up lacking the coaching to make these lifts right.

Thus, reward outweighs the risk of permanent injury.

Better to push a wheelbarrow for GPP.

[skynet808]

i vehemently but respectfully disagree. what you are saying is your opinion only and most importantly, unsubstantiated and actually inefficient.

even though you are targeting your deltoids, it is beneficial to include push presses and push jerks because it mimics real world/ sports specific muscle usage. the power in, say, a punch depends on learning to use your entire body as a single unit , more specifically how to efficiently and fluidly move/ activate the specific kinetic chain.

[TruthAxe]

Exactly, in what sports and what specific action in those sports can you tell us these others exercises mimic besides your unsubstantiated claim?

A push press does not mimic a punch whatsoever.

However, doing a cable or resistance band thrust does.

A punch involves glutes, lats, delts, pecs.

Nice try though skynet. Is there something else which you want me to school you upon?

These are the kinds of injury-producing, low-payoff off exercises those clowns from CrossFit push.

[skynet808]

"school you?" don't get mad, "homie"

actually, it's about the same movement, and the pecs are minimally involved in both actually. i'm a post grad at Baylor in exercise physiology, and I'm kinda burned out from shop-talk as it is.

i'm not into cross-fit, but I'm sure it's a world better than your program. go do some preacher curls you obsolete cowardly prick.

[TruthAxe]

Wow, your're bragging about being an indoctrinated moron from some poduck joke school that any asshole can gain entrance.

Meanwhile the purpose of the pecs is adduction and abduction of the arms you dipshit.

Oh, and since when are band thrusts that are the exact movement of a punch with resistance obsolete?

The world should pity anyone who has to pay you for your asshole-ish advice.

[skynet808]

it's ok. i forgive you.

[kenialopez62]

pedaso mierda. oh yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

[TruthAxe]

How nerdy is that? You write in Spanish, presumably "piece of shit" and then you write in English.

Make up your mind.

[kenialopez62]

my good man i am appalled that you would think i use foul language to get my message across. i my good man am a gentleman and have never used such dispicable words in my life. what i said in spanish was i concur with the statement sir. i believe an apology is in order sir!

[hipoxantha]

good comment ahahahahah!

[TruthAxe]

If you want to get better at punching you must punch more and learn to throw a punch better by analyzing and improving punching mechanics.

If you want to become stronger, you must work your muscles through resistance and eat more protein to grow muscle through microfibrillar hypertrophy.

Punching relies on isolateral glute, oblique, erector, lat, and rear deltoid with forearm torque.

[skynet808]

yes. That's the "Law of Specificity". If your aim is to improve punching power through myofibrillar hypertrophy ( which is much more permanent than vascular or "pump"), it would be faster to do exercises "explosively" with weight along with extra emphasis on form(light weight and low reps to prevent fatigue) and low rep/ max or close max weight.

To stay in your weight class, it would be better to practice your punch via neural efficiency. It's better to improve your power to weight ratio.

[Met666]

Hey dork, an exercise doesnt have to mimic something for it to have carryover to. Push Presses develop power. This power will carryover to other endeavors.

[Met666]

What does your dumbass lift? You sound like some armchair personal trainer with no actual strength. Thats why you dont believe in the Push Press. You probably think the deadlift is a waste of time too. Your little sensitive back couldnt handle those. Fuck off and go do your little bodyweight exercise faggot.

[TruthAxe]

You're reading text, idiot.

If persons "sound" anything to you when you're reading, you're hearing voices in your head.

You amuse though. Your anger exposes your deep insecurities about how weak you know yourself to be.

Go see a psychiatrist and get the help you need so desperately.

[Met666]

Saying "dumb fuck" every other sentence is why I would I want to kill you. A person's sound? What the fuck you talking about? You couldn't answer one question in my post. Little fuckin antagonistic coward. May death and disease be in your future.

[jggrmson]

very useful, thank you very much.

[drionshk]

question on the push press:

Are you supposed to ride the bar up explosive with your chest in the beginning, and then once you're standing straight you push with your arms?

put another way, are you trying to gain momentum by somewhat "throwing" the bar up with your chest, or is supposed to rest completely on your hands.

[gainera2582]

You dip into a partial squat position, reverse the movement by driving the hips, then use the momentum to press the bar over your head. Make sure your using your legs for the drive up, makes it much easier to work with heavier weights without misses!!!

[Botuan]

Woho this is the todays WOD! GO GO!

[Thrasher502]

very useful vid! thanks!

[BeyondBerserk]

Great stuff

[ArraTonks]

There's a nice difference in a push press and a push jerk...i had trouble with those...thanks for the video

[Traps59]

Why is the shoulder press guy so damn slow. Just kidding. Great demonstration.

[ydlafams]

Great technique in each exercise, bro ham.
