https://www.youtube.com/shorts/v-65XoKKwZIYippee I did a strict press PRAfter a long time of just doing kettlebell clean and press, I decided to go to the gym to test my max strict press. I tried 85 kg, I failed that, then I did this 82.5 kg, which is still a PR so I'm happy with this. Bodyweight 82 kg.Semen retention day 101
>>77517112Weight of the kettlebell?
>>77517112Good. My strict OHP record was like 225 lbs for two or three reps, done two or three years ago.
>>77517115I use 32 kg kettlebells, I'm going to purchase 40 kg kettlebells soon. Not sure if I am able to press 40 kg kettlebells yet, but I will buy them anyway.>>77517116Thanks, nice. That's crazy strong
>day 101Is that your record damn
>>77517125Feel like this is gonna be my longest streak so far
You got two options kiddo. Stick with heavy and try to eke out a couple more PRs. You might make it to 87.5 in a few months. But your CNR will crap out eventually.Alternatively, deload, hit the reps. Build some solid muscle. Come back next year.
>>77517133My training is doing double kettlebell clean and press each day, this was just a test for fun
The wog seeing this like a vampire seeing garlic and sunlight
>>77517139Weird. What convinced you to do this programme?
>>77517141This fag again? Time to filter wog I guess.
>>77517143I like the convenience of training at home, I don't sweat doing a set of clean and press in greasing the groove style throughout the day.No need to walk / bike to the gym and shower afterwards, change my clothes etc. Also I'm schizo so sometimes I would hear things from other people that aren't real. Been doing better though.
>>77517144You ( the wog) keeps saying that.
Haha, you know whats funnyThe song in the gym that was playing, was like the matrix testing me.The song lyrics was "You're pushing too hard, you're gonna hurt your self"Matrix was trying to scare me
>>77517171This man knows.
Interesting this grease the groove idea. Do you think since it's zero fatigue it could be used alongside a normal 3x a week barbell routine? Also, why not throw in 50-100 sit ups and really hit those abs. Plonk your ass down on the floor, do 5,8,10, whatever and get back up without even thinking about it.
>>77517184I think it can be combinedBut I don't like situps haha, only standing exercises for me
>>77517192Nobody likes sit ups bro, everybody likes abs. You're a pioneer, try it for a month, see what happens. As for me I've got a 24KG kettblebell gathering dust. Might try some daily overhead swings. What are you doing? Just 10 reps a day?
>>77517211These are the reps Ive been doingI was forced to take a break for a few days because of a back strain from deadliftsMy abs are fairly built from clean and press, but they're covered by a layer of lard
>>77517224Oh I put the strict press note on the wrong day I see now. It's supposed to be on this day.
>>77517224Looks like you just go by feel. Average 15? Guess I'll try hitting 15.
>>77517228Yeah, sometimes I get a huge burst of energy and on those days I do it a lot
>>77517239I'm not so attracted to the clean&press since I do OHP 3 times a week. Thinking just double handed overhead swing. Is there a particular reason you chose that exercise?
>>77517243I was watching videos by Dan John and Geoff Nuppert talking about the clean and press, I was only doing swings with 20 kg at the time, then I bought a second 20 kg kettlebell to try it, and I got addicted to the movement. It feels great and explosive.At first I was doing with 20 kg bells, then 32 kg bells now. Going to buy 40 kg ones for heavy singles.
>>77517120There is a company in the USA that makes adjustables that go to 40kg, but not sure if you can get it in windmillistan. Hephaestus Athletica. If you're progressing you should get a quality adjusted.
>>77517255For me 24 to 28 to 32 was easy, but I stall out at 36. I'm also probably 20 years older than you though. Can you do 36?
>>77517243You are looking for hang cleans and forearm curl variants plus the obvious mp and rear delt+biceps based pulls suck a dick
>>77517371I have never tried 36I only own a set of 20 kg and 32 kg>>77517367Cool
>>77517112
>>77517184>>77517192You can get a good core work out standing up with kettlebells through standing round the world variations.
>>77517192Why not leg raises?
Not quite schizo but weird autist here.Mak inspires me ngl.
>>77517224
Bodyweight press is legit
>>77517192If you want to hit abs ez, get an ab roller and do full stretch motion. At first its hard to learn, but just pretend you are rolling out a massive dough ball and it works great.
>>77517150Well glad to hear it's working for u mak! Hopefully u get that antenna recalibrated one day to block out the noise. There are some alternative theories out there, ppl megadosing melatonin (100-300mg a day) as it's a very powerful antioxidant and rids the body of toxins, I've heard it working for a bunch of stuff maybe it works for schizophrenia if its caused by toxins
>>77517133Terrible advice from a small weak. You don't build muscle by doing light easy weights
>>77517112I don't get why Rippetoe says OHP will be fun to watch. This was fucking boring. But anyways, good job on the PR. Very impressive.
>>77518847Did I say easy, twiglet? Quiet yourself, fool.
>>77517120Spam the single-arm press before attempting 2-arm press with 40kg. You can probably do the double cleans with 40's. You'll thank me later; it's a lot easier to single arm press and it gets you used to the weight.
>>77517112im thinking of getting into semen retention but it has to be worth it for me to commit or else i feel like im just missing outhow does semen retention actually work? whats the biology here
Whenever I press heavy my left shoulder spasms periodically the next day or two. I think I have flexibility issues. Anyone else have this?
>>77519896>how does semen retention actually work? whats the biology hereIt's called the "placebo effect", powerful stuff.
>>77519896(NTA)>how does semen retention actually work? whats the biology hereIt's not biological it is psychological. Think about how motivation works. If you don't have a girlfriend you do one of two things:1. Work out like mad and get fit so girls will flirt with you2. Jack offThe same applies to anything. Eithet numb the feelings with self-gratification, or channel the energy into something productive.Eventually you realize that you don't need the self-gratification and you have achieved self-mastery, and can actualize anything you want.
>>77517224>no titiesI feel you brah
