HIT 1 PL8 THE PRESS FOR 2 REPS TODAY
>mfw

post yfw you hit 1pl8 or when you do
also THE PRESS thread

I got 1pl8 for 15 reps last week.
I want to be able to do 1pl8 for 20.

How much is 1PL8 in kg?

60kg

Last week I hit 2 reps for The (push) Press too man. Feelsgood

1pl8, that is

>mfw I was no longer insulting the God of the Bench by lifting anything less than 1pl8

nice user! keep up the good work.
My THE PRESS routine is 3x5 monday and (1-2)xF wednesday

Assuming since this is press general I can ask a question
Gym only has 2 racks so I the press dumbbells while seated.
I'm up to 2, 50 lb bells
>Is it ok to take up a rack at rush hour just to press?
>Is dumbbells or being seated hurting me?
>Can I transition from db to bb easily?

>Had been struggling with The Press 5-rep for longest time
>Put on 35s and 5s
>Huh this is harder than usual
>Grind out 5
>I'd actually put on 10s by accident and done a plate for 5
Felt good

>>Is it ok to take up a rack at rush hour just to press?
If you got there first, fuck em. Offer to let them work in but most of the time they won't.
>>Is dumbbells or being seated hurting me?
They hurt my shoulder but most people seem to have no problem with them. If they're hurting you you'll know
>>Can I transition from db to bb easily?
If you're doing them right

1. yes
>ohp in the squat rack
is a meme, just dont forget to leave a tip at the front desk.
2. maybe, I heard it promotes bad form/compensations that can lead to injury.
3. yes. tighten glutes, core, abs, lats, chest and
grip tight so forarms are vertical then barbell the press

If you're starting out and there are no benches available you can get away with doing weighted pushups. Once you get bigger you'll need a bench though.

For some reason, i always think of 40 and completely disregard the bar

>tfw when dumbell ohp is at 65 lbs dumbells for 9 reps
how do i increase it should do a max effort set each session and add a rep or do a set of 8 then a couple sets of 7 and try adding reps to the second and third set each session

60.8kg

>pushed 130 lb for 1 rep
It's so close

>hit 60kg for 3 reps
>turns out the bar is only 16.5 kg
All of my gains vaporized instantly

I could do a couple shitty 1pl8 reps when I switched over to the proper OHP from fucking about with seated dumbbell press. Only much later I found out it's some kind of a meme.

I switched from the rip's press 2.0 to a more strict press with a reset on full extension, just for the hell of it. After a couple sessions I can use pretty much the same weight and rep schemes, strict press just seems to stress my delts more, which ofc is a major plus. Getting out of the hole when going for reps isn't any harder because I reset on top, and can use the elastic energy when I start the push at the bottom position.

1RM with 2.0 was 170lbs, haven't tried it with the new technique but 4 sets of 5 at 145 last week was manageable. Next up is 3 sets of 5 at 150. Going for 1pl8 AMRAP seems like a bad idea as the one time I tried it I felt I was blacking out after the 8th rep.

>this is Veeky Forums now
how far have you guys fallen?

>it's another edition of "bar stops at eye level"
It's a demanding mistress.

Give paused press and pin press a chance, they eventually worked for me.

The Bench God is always insulted until its at least 2pl8, the Press God at 1pl8.

>mfw finally hit a pl8 on bench
>mfw on the 5th set, 4th rep and gas out completely

At least I tried, Ill get it next time

IIRC KG pl8s weigh the same as lb pl8s but they don't put the decimels on them because thats autistic as fuck
