Hi all,
I've loved pressing the bell since the first time Doc Cheng taught me the exercise.
For the last 5 weeks I've been working through a challenging press program from the Chief. Suffice it to say, the program has been awesome! Of late, pressing on my left side has been better than the right. I have some issue in the right that have weakened that side a bit.
In any event, this is week 5 of the program and part of today's work called for doubles with the 36k and singles with the 40k. At 175, the 40k is 1/2 body weight for me. With the right side being a bit weaker right now I've had to push press the 2nd 36k rep on the right side on all days thus far in the program that called for doubles. Today I didn't. Two reps with the 36k went up really well. I'd say that means the program is working just fine.
As this is the first time I've pressed this heavy since the Level 2 ( nearly 2 years ago) I decided to video the 40k reps. I had a small subconscious dip/drive in the first rep, but the second rep looks legit to me; a struggle on the right, no doubt, but a solid rep. The left went up much easier on both sets. (Thanks, in part, to the grunts, I'm sure!)
Any feedback to make these heavy presses better would be much appreciated.
