Hello,

Little question of muscle activation / tension:
Between a 1/2 bdw kb military press and a OAOL PU, which one is the more "intense" (meaning which one involves more muscles (leg, core, shoulder, arm, etc...) ?

Thanks you guys

Kind regards,

Pet'
 
Hey Pet,

I found it difficult to find studys on One Arm Military Press. Maybe someone else could weigh in with those. Also, the push-ups are OA, not OAOL as you mentioned, but it's a start.

OA Push-up (Full Musculature):

There is a greater stabilization requirement in the pushup, so it depends on how a greater stabilization requirements fits into your definition of "intense."

We might ask people who've achieved both.

Hello,

@Steve Freides
Thank you !

Yes, "intense" is not a very accurate word. I had in mind something like "between the two moves, which one permit to develop the most important overall strength ?"

Regarding the OAOL PU, I can for instance do 2 or 3 (on each side) with a feet on a chair.

However, I never have trained press very seriously (excepted when I did your program). My only 'vertical press' is the freestanding HSPU. I just do 1 or 2 reps a day, but this is different from a kb militay press.

Kind regards,

Pet'
