Old Forum barbell overhead press. PTTP vs GTG

[Toby]

Just did an easy double with 45KG last night.

I had press 45KG overhead before but it was a single and it was an all out effort.

Also, for some strange reason, 45KG felt easier and more natural than the 42.5KG.

My BW is 84KG now so there is still a 39KG gap to "entry level strong"

Nice work Toby! Keep it up.

Also, I very much recommend Pavel's "Bench to Kettlebell Press More" program. I followed it for about 6 weeks and added 10lbs to my OH press. And prior to performing the program I had not been pressing over head for a couple months. It's magic.

Thank you, Andy!
Are you doing Barbell OH press as well?

It will be a good program for me, when time and recovery allowed. My super long skinny arms looked which less skinny after few weeks of  CGBP in Faleev 5x5 workouts!
