Attn Goosey,
Do you happen to do these 'shrugs' at the end of a set of dips?

That's a good question and I had to think hard why I don't.
I remember a discussion years ago on a forum which had regular posters like Kaz and Dr Ken...shit, that would have been circa 90's.
That question came up, you'll receive more benefit shrugging from a hanging position (arms above head) as the lat crosses over the shoulder and fully stretched, as it just squeezes out any exsisting strength.
That's not to say a shrug when dipping is bad, but these blokes always talked effacy and still do.
I personally like to finish a set of dips with very slow negatives while using a dip belt.

Felt weird today doing behind neck press, went to 65kg and did 6 reps (quite hard) but have done little training last 5-6 weeks.
Then did 3 reps on 80kg push press, and that was hard.
Me a bit weak at moment.
i do like standing presses better than bench though. Pity they dont have it as a sport any more.

forget the gut, how is this for pressing athleticism,
Poetry in motion.
He did more in clean and press than clean and jerk in 1972 olympics. 235kg i think.
Who knows what he would have done in 1976 given they banned lift. That year he lifted 256kg in clean and jerk.

Hepburn press course
Press 3 times a week.
Take a weight, lets use 50 kg and perform 3 reps, 5 sets.
Keep the same weight but add one more set each workout until you have done 10 sets with the 50 kg.
This will take you 2 weeks or 6 workouts.
Now drop back to 5 sets, 3 reps, but add 2.5 kg.
Continue the addage of 2.5 kg's every seventh workout.
A great course if you are stuck on a weight.

Going to try this. Have heard of it before sounds worth trying and have been stuck at 80-82.5 for fucking ages now.

I'd be really interested To see how it goes for you.
When I did this I just added it to my workouts, first exercise.
I added 20kg to my press from memory.
Other exercises suffered.
In hindsight It might do better as a stand-a-lone workout
I did that for a while.
Mehh can't lift anything for another 4 weeks so expect to have dropped back to a 75kg max by then. Lucky it comes back quick.
I usually do some bis/tris/abs every other morning for the ol' vanity workout. I might change it so I press every other morning instead.

It use to be one of the power lifts
Bent row should be the fifth.
If you press re-appears it won't be for long.
