Feel free to direct me to any threads that have already covered this....
My girlfriend used my barbell the other day while I was at work and texted to ask how much the bar itself weighs. I was like "45lbs" (obviously, right?). Well, I got the set as a gift and apparently never bothered to weigh the bar (I thought I did...).... try 30lbs
Me being tired of having a weak press, but liking the movement itself, here I am....
I'm plenty happy doing squats, upper body pulls, and deadlifts for 2-3 days a week, but I love the feel of overhead pressing. Looking to increase my barbell overhead press specifically within a higher frequency (3+ days per week) framework, if possible.
Would a PTTP style program work (ten heavy reps per day) or would something lighter in weight but maybe a bit higher in volume be better?
I was thinking about how S&S also has a high frequency format. To that end:
What do you think is the full ROM press equivalent of doing 5 getups per arm for a frequency of ~5 days per week? I've tried doing swings and getups and honestly it just didn't hook me for some reason. Would still pretty much be PTTP?
Thanks all.
