Yeah BB ohp and db, shoulders need a pounding. They're pathetic
Soldato
Yea, they do (As in the muscle itself, not you
). I had my OHP today; My shoulders were fried by the end of it!They'll get there eventually

Haha, good man, hopefully go heavy this week on the BB ohp. I'll just play it by ear.

Just remember to tighten every muscle and brace your core. Do you do feet close together or wide stance?
Kind of in the middle....I figured narrower stance involved more core?
Soldato
I prefer narrow stance, just allows me to stiffen up and brace my core a lot easily than wider. Also has helped me get my new numbers even if some people say narrow stance is supposed to be harder

I'll have a play, never thought about it too much, just tend to not go past wider than shoulders.
But as you say, narrow is theoretically harder, can't explain it right now for some reason...You move around more basically, meaning you need to brace more.
Single arms still going to murder me.
Soldato
Surely single arm means more need for controlling the weight, better control, better muscle building potential
Plus you can focus on that arms technique more

The single arm ohp has highlighted some weaknesses in my core/bracing technique.
I also just like doing it and find it doesn't aggravate my shoulder. Try it when you start training mate

Well having either barbell or dumbell options available is useful for when gym is full.
How has single arm highlighted issues in core/bracing.....

When pressing it in my left arm my mid section fails, where as on my right it's completely fine, my left side also generally can't push as much for whatever reason.
Single arm DB press is awesome. It basically highlights the fact that you can have a very strong system (in this example, "pushing") that is incredibly dysfunctional and riddled with compensations. Single arm while standing stops all cheating.
Btw, the next level is with an inverted kettlebell.
Goodnight sweet ego - I started with 8kg

As I do, makes me look like a girl even more so
We don't have kettle bells at the school gym, sucks man, and the gym next door is terrible...it doesn't even have a frigging squat rack
Thursday 15th Nov: core and shoulders:
All in all, good, BB OHP killed me though.
Friday 16th November: Back
Deadlifts were weird, didn't feel good when I stepped in the gym or did 100kg, did the 120kg and it was alright, added weight to it, went amazing, go figure.
Lat pump throughout was SWEET today, loved it, definitely playing with negatives again in other workouts.
Deadlifts @ 122.5kg is a PB, so can't moan.

How was the OHP this time around?
OHP wasnt too bad man, lower back wasnt as bad as the other week, tried to concentrate on keeping my chest up not arch the lower back too much, worked kinda well.
Haha! True dom, surprised they went up like they did, all good though, will hopefully push for 125 next week.
