I did this as auxiliary when I had my PTTP experiment. A good exercise, and tough.

 

[Antti]

I like it. It feels very nice, both comfortable and challenging.

 

[Mirek]

Any sort of overhead pressing is goodie, and this guy is strong, repping out with those 50 kg.

 

[Hung]

No. I don't have proper equippment

Almost.

I had on 2.5 kg training plates.

And the comp collars are also 2.5 kg each.

Haven't done these in a hot minute. My barbell doesn't have a center knurl so it takes a bit of 'feeling around' to find the middle and if it starts to turn, trying to stop it can be a bad idea. I have fractional plates now so I can go up in 1kg increases and it might be a fun exercise to work up in.

I can see that I need to try these - never did when I said I would a week or two ago, probably now will wait until after my next meet is over before I do.

I was using the Eleiko Power Lock, which does have center knurl, but it's super mild compared to the gripping areas.

So while it's helpful for helping find the middle, it's not very grippy.

Also, the big fat 2.5 kg locking collars puts more weight on the outside that spring collars would.

I used to do BB suitcase DL's, which I liked for the unilateral loading and grip challenge. Going to have to try some Overhead.

Gave them a heat check this am. I like em, and tougher than Marker made them look, especially if he had 50kg.
Twenty kg bar with a 5 kg bumper and spring per side (30kg) 2/2,3/3,3/3,5/5,5/5, took around 22:30.

Excellent lift. This, and the KB bent press are my go to presses. I will also add that the BB getups are worth a try, too.

Sounds like you're training for the one of the old timey odd objects lifting competitions.

That is one really tough looking workout ! Midsection must have screaming by the end! I think I saw a video of James Harrison when he was still with the Steelers doing them with like 225 I believe.....this is something I'd like to try at some point!

Harrison is a savage among savages.

Don, I went and found the video, it was a 135 pound barbell Harrison used. He looked like he was playing with it!

No doubt. Might have been a vid of his mobility/prehab/rehab shoulder routine.
Watched the vid, The push up with 300 lbs. on his back also impressive.
