Hey PTC, speaking of squats maybe you can help me with something; i'm wondering if it's better to go Really heavy even if I don't go all the way down, or should go to a weight that allows me to go as low as possible with full control.

Cheers

Full ROM is best for 99% of lifters.

As an advanced technique when you are seeking to improve an already heavy squat, partials are beneficial.

Aim for 1.5 x bodyweight x 20 first.

You can opt many training techniques, but you need to find out the best that can be helpful and supported by your body. So you should consult a good trainer who can help you in achieving what you are up to.

I should point out my advice is for those actually seeking to get stronger/faster/leaner.

Not overly fussed about anyone NOT seeking this.

Markos I tried the press on your knees the other day... And I've never felt my shoulders being worked that good..

So do you recommend me pressing every day?

I only press 35kg 3x8 and bench 80kg 5x5 so
I think shoulders are limiting me... Do you agree?

Cheers

I think it's your squat

Any good routines with military press other then hepburn?

ive been doing sets of 5 lately, adding weight if i get a good 5x5 or just adding reps and sets if i cant

I feel alot better doing MP with higher reps at least 10/12 but thats mean i didnt make much progress on 3x6 or 3x8.

AS for daniel, isnt your bench press higher then your squat? I think you answered your own problem.

Talk shit about my squat bitch...

The question was about pressing and benching...

PTC · 16-01-2011, 01:34 AM

If you can squat more, you'll press more.

I reckon vary the reps on MP as much as you can, do some 20 reppers as well as singles, and everything in between. When I was using over 100kg I was repping 60kg x 40

I used to do the same with BP back in the day, 100kg x 20 as well as singles

Most nowadays neglect high rep work
