Just began playing around with this movement. Looking for any helpful tips on technique and/or how you program the bent press into your training. ***I had just finished my workout, showered, and was ready to head out the door with the wife, hence the jeans and boots***
Also, while I am anxious to improve my technique and enjoy the 'badassness(?)' of this olde' timey movement, is there a reason why this lift seems more valued or hallowed in the StrongFirst community versus the various Windmill movements? I can think of the mobility challenge it presents (thoracic spine/hips) and the fact that you are PRESSING your body UNDER the weight rather than having the static weight overhead(greater weight used?). Lots of curiosity here, thanks all.
