Not planned but had a crack this morning at a 100kg press and got it for a PB.
To bad after unintentional Easter bulk still haven't got a BW press yet.
BTN pressing bazza!!?! say goodbye to your shoulders haha
Great exercise for indication of power though. One of greatest shot putters ever (Brian Oldfield) rated it number one exercise.
Interesting thread.
I've decided to include some form of OHP on my upper power day.
My shoulders are just crap - I really need wider shoulders.
If you're referring to side / rear delts this article indicates it's not the best exercise for them - it mainly targets the front delts. They get some work, of course. I have pretty small side delts, and 85kg overhead press should make that otherwise... but it doesn't.
Hmm interesting.
Yes, I am referring to side / rear delts, as Bazza was mentioning width. Maybe that just works for him then?
Shoulder width has never been my strength, but my front delts are fairly sizeable.
I feel like shoulder width is something I am sorely lacking, yet side delts don't seem to really response very well (e.g. to lateral raises). Although I love doing them, and can definitely feel it hitting the side head, they are still way out of proportion.
