Notes - Excellent training session. Any time I get the chance to press the 40kg and it goes well, that is cause for celebration. Felt good going into this, and things went well. Took a lot of time before each 40kg press. These were strict presses and I did not look at the bell to get through lockout. That is the first time I think I have been able to do strict pressing like that with the 40kg. Make sure I focused on my big toes, connecting to the ground. This seemed to allow me to get slightly more "upright" in lockout and possibly a little less "on the heels." This could be a big discovery with the press. It's possible some of the adductor issues could be alleviated if I can use the big toe cue for every press. We will see how recovery goes - I will be focusing on adductor stretching / mobility stretches as well as glutes and hips.
nice going man! 40 kg press is awesome!
ReplyDeleteThank you Mark! 44kg both arms is my PR. I am there right now. I have been working for a very long time to get to a 48kg Beast press. I have a good coach, Kevin Knapp at Kettlebility in Seattle, who has brought me this far. I am very close.
