**** all you bench press haters

[ByronicHero]

Probably OHP, followed by deadlifts.

Only done proper deadlifts like twice though, and have not trained OHP regularly in a long while

I'm gonna be a phaggot and admit bench press is my fave.

i let it slam to the ground to let bro's know how much weight i'm lift. i think sometimes even the girls on the bikes on the other side of the gym hear the crash and come to watch!

Deadlifts make thow the beast of thy gym

He drops his deadlift

It varies, feeling the overhead press at the moment. Deadlifts are very love/hate for me, sometimes I'm bang up for them other times I stand infront of the bar dreading the set :/

its nice because it doesn't call for stability and core i guess, giving you a hard surface you can push up against from

[Megaloblastic]

Deadlifts, closely followed by squats and OHP then bench last because i'm **** at it

[usainlightning]

Anything but overhead presses.

[redbuthotter]

Depends which one I'm getting PB's in during that day/week

Currently OHP's

[Keith Lemon]

Wrist curls?

I love the pump, nothing compares to it.

With good technique and mobility you should be able to PP 50% more than your OHP

Really? Do you know anyone who can do that? It sounds like maybe an Oly lifter thing where they don't have great shoulder strength compared to their leg drive and technique. I doubt strongmen would say this. As much as I would love to press 120+ by improving my technique it isn't happening

[Mrfantastic]

Military press>deadlift>bench=squat.
Some other favorites of mine are lateral/front raises and flys. This is when I'm not doing bodyweight exercises though. Nothing better than muscleups, HS pressups and triple clap pressups(front->back->front)

[redbuthotter]

To be honest I inferred it from novice to pro level oly lifters on youtube - here's an example - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMIao...el_video_title

Think he stricts around 80kg.... so not far off.

I reckon if you have good stability overhead e.g. you can lockout properly then it shouldn't really be a problem. It's a very quick dip and drive like a jerk almost he only really has to lockout a few inches at the end.

Ps I've PP'ed 87.5kg and a close 90 and failed to OHP 60kg last summer.... but then my OHP blows and I squat/front squat an ok amount

Maybe.. but I think it might be more a function of most Oly lifters never really bothering to do enough strict presses to get any good at them.

[redbuthotter]

Thats a fair point, but I read somewhere that its easier to increase your PP with a bigger front squat than say trying to increase your strict press - for me anyway that's a uphill battle everytime lol

The elevator lift

[Billa Bong]

gotta be squats for me...not many people do them in the gym i go to and i can do more then 150kg (4 reps of 155 being best so far) now and have been asked several times by people passing by how much i'm squatting cos the plates stacking up on the sides
