Push press

[djsnit]

Hello Mark, just really curious if you would mind doing a push Press video? The reason is, I like adding it once in awhile and the videos I find all have different hand placements, bar racks and hip movements. Could you possibly see yourself doing one maybe? Thanks either way.

We don't use it in our programming. I can't see why I would instruct it.

[djsnit]

As an ancillary?

To be fair, it is in The Book. I slightly get the impression you have increasingly soured on the idea of the push press as having any relation to the press, or indeed having much use outside of weightlifting, since the release of the book.

Didn't Practical Programming suggest the Push Press for volume and intensity for an intermediate trainee?
Or did the advent of Press 2.0 make the Push Press obsolete?
I'm genuinely asking, I might have an old edition of PP.

And so are barbell curls. We don't program them.

You have a very old edition of the book.

The push press racks similarly to the clean. I thought it would be a fun ancillary as is rows, dumbbell presses, etc. I've seen videos off lifts off the program and they're always quality. I'd rather watch your coaching than ANYONE on the internet

Maybe you should break down and buy the books.

Then you know we don't program the push press.
