Hey all,
(For those who don't know what I mean when I write "seven basic movements", here's an article about it: The Seven Basic Human Movements - StrongFirst)
I've been working on my bent press with the help of Dave Whitely's book, Taming the Bent Press (by the way, thanks Mr. Whitely!), and was pondering what sort of movement patterns are incorporated into the Bent Press.
Press? Well it ends up overhead, but the triceps and delts don't do anything close to the lionshare of the work.
Pull? This one I think I can say no pretty clearly, but the lat get's pounded.
Hinge? Yes, definitely part-hinge.
Squat? Not really. (At least for my body-type, I don't go deep enough to consider it close to patterning a full squat.)
Loaded Carry? No
Rotation or counter-rotation? Honestly not sure how to judge this one.
I have the sense I am trying to a complex thing into a framework created to simply check if one's training is comprehensive, but being a fitness nerd it's something that's fun for me to think about. I'd appreciate any thoughts on the matter.
Thanks for your time,
Josh
