**Here it is!!! ME repping 315 on Barbell Shoulder press!!!!

[vettewreck]

Barbell Military Press 315lbs!!! Got 5 reps!!! 3 all on my own, 4th and 5th were with a slight touch but good enough. And if anyone says anything about me not going low enough I call BULLSH1T!!! Parallel is as low as youre suppose to go or weight transfers off the muscles and onto rotator cuff!! Thats what Ive always been told and never had a shoulder issue so thats what im going with!!!

good pushing mate

[vettewreck]

Thanks guys. Exactly why I dont go lower and like I said, ive NEVER had shoulder issues.

ya im 19y/o so i better not have a shoulder problem yet. i think ill just continue to go parallel and if my friends say something ill just tell them they can lift how they want ill lift how i want

[stack_it]

I used to go low with my presses until I spent almost a year in physical therapy for my rotator cuff. Now I go parallel.


Great job but next time try putting some weight on there

405 next week?

[vettewreck]

Full range presses to me just dont feel comfortable on my shoulders.. like joint, not muscle. But its all good you guys do whats comfy for you and ill do whats comfy for me.

[BgMc31]

No disrespect intended, Vette. Its the powerlifter/strength athlete in me. But anybody that holds 300+ overhead deserves my respect. And judging by your shoulder development its working for you. But as a strength athlete, I don't consider it as impressive as someone doing full range of motion with same weight. Still pretty impressive nonetheless.

[vettewreck]

Yeah I can fully understand what youre saying. I just dont train for Plifting. If I did, Id certainly be doing alot of things differently. Luckily, relatively training like a body builder, my shoulders round out and cap pretty good and still do decent on strength, and still no shoulder injuries so im not planning on changing anything this far in ya know! lol!!

Impressive nonetheless

[unclemoney]

Very nice! I didn't know that about going parallel and the rotator cuff. I've always only went parallel on press movements as it felt more natural/powerful to me, even for benching as well.

[JohnnyVegas]

Awesome job.

[baseline_9]

Impressive nonetheless

X5 but will echo this - its still impressive

Tbh i think paralell is worse!

You can put more w8 on the bar but you cant handle it in a full ROM, if u go too low ur ****ed

Id rather drop the w8 lower and do full ROM

Just my opinion tho

[dec11]

be careful on heavy full ranges guys, ve just gotten back after rotator probs and the other night i noticed that once i dipped slightly below paralell on presses i got a sharp little jolt of pain reminder from my shoulders.

[stevey_6t9]

crazy weight man and good job... though personally i disagree with the parallel thing... look at branch warren barbell pressing, he leans back and arches his back to change the angle and take the pressure off your rot cuff. from your vid your completely upright and if u brought it any lower u wud defiently risk injury.

fix the angle of the seat... it doesnt have to be 90 degrees fully vertical... lower it down around 70 or arch your back and externally rotate your shoulders, not taking anything away from your lift though bro, your one strong mofo!

[vettewreck]

Arching back is like cutting corners to me. Youre taking the pressure off your shoulder muscle and letting your chest do the work. I might as well just did incline if I do that.

I also believe at a certain point you stop building muscle and risk more. If I were to do rull range motions, I dont believe any more muscle would be built and id only be risking rotator cuff injury. My shoulders certainly arent lacking from never going down a few extra inches. Just my opinion thats all guys.

[boz]

Show off

ahah :P

Impressive dude, almost bar bending material.

[lil_herc81]

.........good god!!! your not human! Bad azz!!!!!!

[Public Enemy]

Damn thats impressive. Nice.

[Hazard]

Great job man! I have no idea what I can barbell press but it's definately not that much LOL

~Haz~

[DSM4Life]

Maybe i should try them sitting down. I normally stand and get the bar down to chin no deeper.

[Knockout_Power]

I only bring them lower with lower wieghts during warm up sets... for my last 2 heavier sets it only slightly breaks parrellel. Not worth the risk.

nice lifts mang

Every time I read a DSM post I have to re-read it to see if there was any pun intended

I read this 3 times and then decided it is inocent

no doubt, with little inserts like

"get the bar down"
"down to chin"
"no deeper"

its difficult to tell

[vettewreck]

Thank you very much guys!!

[MBMETC]

parallel woul be fine if you got there....jk awsome lift

[vettewreck]

Oh come on!!!! stingzzzzzz!!!

dont do it man, if you are not use to that range with that heavy of weight dont to it to make a point... if you damage something you will be out for a long fvcken time

[ghettoboyd]

good job man nice work....of course the so called purists are gonna tool on you for not doing the full range of motion but i say as long as your feeling it and its effective then that should be good enough...all the puritsts at my gym are all wimpy kids who are always judging peeps tecnique/form like there some kind of know it all yet weigh 150 soakeing wet with no muscle...just saying, not aiming that at anyone here....
