Dirty gets back to basics - Topless photoshoot, pg228

If you can strict 80 you should be able to push 100 IF you can get the leg drive, timing and balls right!

I can press 90 strict most days of the week but have only PP 100. I just don't train the lift enough.

Pair of oly boots help no end too.

I've just spent so long doing EVERYTHING like a BBer that it's awkward to change up like that

Off course pal. But change you can! :)

I hear you master yoda , it's frustrating cos I know it's in me I just can't nail it all. I can do 3 on 90 but haven't done 1 on 95, 90 seems to be the threshold of my style ATM, once I get it all together that should hopefully go.

A strict 90 is very nice tho, mate, I'd be happy with that

I've strict pressed 97.5kg :) (85kg) Cleaned off course. But that was when OH work was a staple. Now it's a rarety apart from a months block a few years back which resulted in the 100

Here's 95 PP on vid;


 
My tech was better on monday

Bored at work Spaming someone journo with my vids :)

A nice and quick rep. I was cleaning until I started to get the fcuked Ham/glute and I always feel better for the clean. Now I have to walk up and rack it out I always seem to take too long getting ready and get a head spin .

That looked like quite a wide grip wasn't? I noticed on the squat down you where on your toes from the start of the push... I certainly need to attack that aspect of the lift more, I'm definately too half hearted in the push phase.

That clean looks so effortless Iain, almost a thing of beauty.

Don't anaylise my tech too much.. it's not oly perfect :)

I am on my toes as my felex aint great. Olly shoes help this a lot. You can get that dip with a more stable base. Best thing you can say about my lift was I attacked it and brought my head through.

Grip is close to bench grip (82cm). This is again a bit of a flex thing in the shoulders.

It did didn't it, I'm more of a case of if i can clean it then I should press it, but the clean was a piece of piss there wasn't it!

Proper application of power and speed

No.13


That clean looks so effortless Iain, almost a thing of beauty.

lolol Pal it is an U.G.L.Y. PC. Just a deadlift with a curl at the top. I can get away with it at a certain weight as I just have the brute strength and deadlifting power to throw it up.

OK, mate, I hear ya. I used to use a grip similar to bench but brought mine in a bit earlier this year, not certain if it's helped or not TBH. Got long arms so it's probably not helping much

As I said.... almost

I should video myself some time, although in my head I see myself being very unco-ordinated and F.U.G.L.Y.

Best clean is 110. Again some tech work would quickly improve it quick, but yes the OH part is the hardest for me.. as it should be I feel although others may disagree.

lol 13 almost!

how quickly PP day comes back round....

DELTS

Standing BB Push Press: 5x40, 50, 3x60, 1x70, 80, 85 2x92.5 then 80x6 w/120 or so secs rest..... whoo-dee-fcuking-doo, nailed the 92.5, 1st rep was good, 2nd took a little work but still good, then got a bit dizzy LOL very happy tho, technique was much better, far from perfect but much better power today. 
Strict OHP: 60x 9, 8, 8 w/90 or so secs rest..... stuck with bar work today, decent sets here 
Side Lat Raise: 15s for 7 sets of 10 reps w/30 secs rest..... all good here too

TRIS

Floor Press: 100x8, 8, 7 then 80x12 pump reps w/90 secs rest..... think I have the reps right here, not done these for a while, felt good. 
Dips: BW +15 for 7 sets of 11 reps w/30 secs rest.... good sets here, completed all 7 for 11s no probs.

Usual roller and stretch to close

At last. Much better PP session today, felt stronger from the start TBH, chuffed with.

Waiting for the snow now, my Dad came by with a sledge for my boy so bring it on!

good work mate, well done on the PP..
floor presses look cool. think i'll throw them in sometime too :-)

2x92.5

And with only 2mins rest too. Well done chap

They felt much better than regular CG TBH

Oh yeah, can't drop the short rest.... you can take the boy out of BBing but not BBing out of the boy LOL

regular grip for the floor presses or slightly closer mate?

You can do either TBH but I went for my regular CG grip, which is about shoulder width..... have used a standard BP grip before
