What are you talking about? He's an elite athlete, he's a cyclist!!!Round back deadlifting is an ADVANCED technique.
You are not advanced.

You're round-backing your deadlift in your avatar lol. Round-backing is fine, what matters is power in the spine, as long as your spine doesn't move there isn't a problem
Hello Oni,I'm now training at a disadvantage, no belts, high bar olympic squats, push press as my main pressing movement
I wouldn't call what I was doing in my DP a round back deadlift, yes the upper back is rounded a little, pretty sure that's normal and not dangerous. When you said what I quote I was understanding that as you were talking about your whole back/lower back. Which I'm sure isn't a good idea.
This thread isn't about me anyway, i'm not the numb nuts on here bragging about maxing out daily wanting people to think your some kind of hardcore hero.
Hello Oni,
Re your above statement, I do have just the one question if you don't mind mate. I fully understand the no belt and the high bar squats, however how is performing or adding a push (a drive generated from your lower and very powerful muscles) put you in a disadvantage when it comes to propelling the weight above your head?
olympic weightlifters add the push because the whole movement corresponds with the jerking part of the clean and jerk lift. I'll stop here just in case you meant something totally different from what I'm talking about.
Take care mate and all the best with your lifting.
Fadi.

First of all, thank you for your reply to my question. Secondly, I'd stick with your logic re our subject matter.By my logic a strict press would be better than a push press,...

You think strict press is better than push press for increasing strength on the bench press? Just wondering why this is as all I've ever seen is that push press is an overall better developer (apart from Jim Wendler, who says you should do overhead press because it's more manly, lol)
Sorry about that Oni. I must've been thinking and focusing my thoughts on something else (like muscle hypertrophy in the shoulder and triceps areas) instead of increasing strength in the bench press. I am not and have never been a bench press specialist, so I would not be able to advice you on this subject. My mistake, sorry about that mate.

For any novices reading this thread, you DO NOT focus on over head pressing to bring up your bench. It's the least logical thing I've seen anybody type for a while.
Not really.
Whist you will get some carry over, benching (properly) wont bring up your OH a huge amount.
If you want to get good at benching. Bench.
Lots of volume, and doing plenty of work in the higher % region.
Same goes for overhead work. You want to put a shitload over head? Practice putting weight overhead.
All the biggest benches I personally know are not that strong overhead.
My coach benches 200kg raw at 88kg, and does little to no overhead pressing. He will also bench 270kg at under 90kg in the next 6 months.
Fuzzy, a forum member has no issue putting 160-170kg over head, but has a best bench of around 130kg.....
Who do you know that puts 200kg overhead, and benches 300kg?
I can jerk 115kg, but bench 147.5kg..... Though I OH press maybe once a month.
