Probably because I never learned how to rack the weight properly due to terrible wrist and shoulder mobility. Clean&press is a terrific exercise tho.Fatmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18077817670776459628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3775547849492453021.post-71497252983746676642015-01-13T19:32:38.580-08:002015-01-13T19:32:38.580-08:00I hear ya.

I tried BTN today and it made me wonder why I ever did it. Stressed my shoulders out. My goal is 225# for OHP. I just finished up a 4 month cycle of Madcow intermediate and was quite happy with my gains. Pre-cycle totals for squat,DL,OHP and rows x5 was 570 post=920. Not world class,but pretty sweet for a 44YO special ed teacher. It made me love the OHP!<br />OAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06346822341232752541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3775547849492453021.post-22356382760349431202015-01-13T06:22:28.644-08:002015-01-13T06:22:28.644-08:00I go for a small dip.

My best push press has always been close to my best regular press.<br /><br />It's been a while since I've done any heavy overhead pressing (used to have a dedicated OH press day). The nagging wrist/shoulder problems haven't helped either. But now I'm dedicating some time to both the military and push press, so hopefully by the end of 2015 I'll be back where I was 2-3 years ago :)Fatmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18077817670776459628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3775547849492453021.post-60729716270503625892015-01-12T20:51:41.250-08:002015-01-12T20:51:41.250-08:00185# on the PP is nice.
