Very nice pressing fram. That lockout shockwave, too much for your camera

Vonfram used special telekinetic powers to turn the camera off.

 

[White_Lie]

Lol'd at the camera.
Lucky it didn't fall earlier but then again, you made it look easy so there was probably another attempt in the tank

 

[spartacus]

bazza will post a clip on his return and take lead.

70kg x 1 @ 78.9kg

Fucked it all up but ground it out. Have never attempted it before so the first one I filmed had a slight push at the bottom.
Scratch that and go again. Did ok but used 2x10kg bumpers and a small 5kg plate, couldn't see the weight with the camera placement.
Scratch that too and replace with a 10 and 15kg bumper. But in my haste I left 2 x 10's on one side. Tried to unrack it and took a bit to work out what was going on lol. Fuck that one off and try again. End result below...And morning weight for proof. Dropped a few kgs overnight

PS Stop checking out my glutes you kunce!

 

[spartacus]

well done white lie.

Have put it up, but make sure you lockout next time.

You have a very narrow grip, I have seen a few guys press like that.

 

[Jungnaut]

Well done Whitey!! I know what you mean about camera miss takes lmao. TFW you replay and can't see the weights on the BB... fffuuu

Yeah that is a really narrow grip, man. Do you find the bar has a tendency to drift further out front when you do it like that? I am experimenting with a wider grip to deal with this specific issue. I want the BB to scrape my chin.

Edit: that looks to be an epic dump you took in the morning

 

[Repacked]

Given myself a couple of good whacks in the chin on the way up....

I knew someone would mention that. I never hold at lockout, just the way I train to keep everything under tension. Will make it a bit more obvious next time

I follow the Alan Thrall method of tucking my elbows in to my lats. Minimal lats means a very narrow grip lol

Ps - I hadn't even taken a dump yet!

yes, all comp events you should always lockout.

[White_Lie]

You velly baaad man. Velly bad!

I swear it was locked out momentarily, just my short ass arms
I'll hit them again tomorrow just for you kunce. Need to do better than fifth place too!

 

[spartacus]

I might have a go at 82.5kg tomorrow.

 

[White_Lie]

Gave it another go today. Quick warmup at 60kg's after my front squats, then attempted 75...no way that mofo was going up today. Didn't want to do 72.5 as you wouldn't see the plates. So did 70kg again with a longer lockout. Still a grinder after the 75kg fail Better kunce or do I need to hold it longer still?
Dropped a bit more weight to throw things in my favour though. 78.3kg after a 300g shit this morning

 

[Jungnaut]

Much better lockout Yes, 1-2kg feels like a tonne extra when it comes to the overhead press. I haven't been able to better my attempt since my injury. I am programming more volume in though so hope to finish the year on a high.

 

[spartacus]

backed of today, leaving my next max attempt for Doherty's City gym, 15 Aug. 2015.

Today I did 4 sets of 2 reps of clean and press on 70kg (90 seconds rest).

I am hoping for 82.5kg after clean.

 

[spartacus]

yes just a brief lockout is fine.
