  • Press by Bill Starr

    Press by Bill Starr

    Starting Strength The Olympic-Style Press by Bill Starr My purpose in writing this article is twofold: to explain how to do the type of press known as the Olympic-style press and to defend all forms of pressing. The exercise has been maligned in the past and is once again under fire. In both instances, the criticism is ungrounded. The overhead press has always been a primary exercise for those who were involved in any form of weight training. Bodybuilders did lots of overhead presses to build more muscular shoulders and arms. Strength athletes included heavy presses in their routines in order to gain more power in their upper bodies, and Olympic weightlifters spent a third of their training time working on the press since it was part of the sport’s agenda. Even those who just trained for overall fitness did presses. It was the standard of upper body strength and, to most, also the gauge of how strong a person was. When someone wanted to know how strong you were, he asked, “How much can you press?” There were many different ways people pressed. Some did them in a very strict manner, with upper bodies erect and the bar traveling in a straight line from shoulders to lockout. Others would drive the bar upward and immediately lay back to finish the lift. Yet others would wait until the bar hit the mid-point of the movement before laying back just a bit. The New Orleans lifters Louis Riecke, Dr. John Gourgott, and Walter Imahara, used a unique style of pressing that no one else could emulate.

    Vertical Pushing Overview and Key Points

    Vertical Pushing Overview and Key Points Key Notes for Shoulder Pain 1. Overhead press is generally one of the toughest things to perform when painful. It often needs to be taken out of the program temporarily for painful shoulders 2. If you can’t find a pain free press variation, rowing variations are generally well tolerated and serve as a good modification. 3. Pressing in a more horizontal plane (bench press) may be better tolerated than overhead press. 4. Reducing the load, slowing down the speed of the lift and increasing the reps can some- times allow us to still get a training effect and eliminate pain.

  • Periodization and Exercise Selection

    Periodization and Exercise Selection

    RESISTANCE TRAINING Workout Options and Program Periodization BASIC RULES FOR EXERCISE SELECTION AND ORGANIZATION: When selecting exercises for a particular muscle group, one must consider a number of factors to ensure the safety of the musculature and joints involved in the movement, to attain the temporary failure condition for the muscles involved to promote continued progress and to ensure activation of the desired muscle groups. These rules include: A. Exercises for problem muscle groups should be performed at the beginning of the workout to prevent their omission from the workout. This organization also allows the weight trainer to address these exercises with the greatest amount of energy available. This should help to maximize one’s efforts and, ultimately, one’s progress. B. Exercises for large muscle groups should always be addressed before those for small muscle groups. Ex.: pectorals, and depending upon the specific exercise selected, shoulders before triceps; latissimus dorsi and trapezius before biceps, quadriceps before gastrocnemius (calves). C. Multiple-joint exercises should always be performed before isolation exercises. Multiple-joint exercises involve the large muscle groups of the body, i.e. the pectorals, latissimus dorsi, trapezius, quadriceps (when assisted by the gluteal and/or hip flexor groups), hamstrings and the deltoids. These exercises typically have a “last name” of: press, pull, row, squat or lunge. Single-joint exercises utilize only one joint and usually involve such muscle groups as the deltoids (with no assistance from the triceps), the triceps, biceps, the quadriceps or hamstrings (when not assisted by the gluteal or hip flexor groups). These exercises typically have a “last name” of: extension, curl, flye, raise, pressdown or pulldown.
  • Shoulder Press, Push Press, Push Jerk--The Overhead Lifts

    Shoulder Press, Push Press, Push Jerk--The Overhead Lifts

    January 2003 THECrossFit® Journal © 2003 All rights reserved "mess you up" Shoulder Press, Push Press, Push Jerk – The Overhead Lifts Introduction Learning the progression of lifts that moves from the shoulder press, to the push press, to the push jerk has long been a staple of the CrossFit regimen. This progression offers the opportunity to acquire some essential motor recruitment patterns found in sport and life (functionality) while greatly improving strength in the “power zone” and upper body. In terms of power zone and functional recruitment patterns, the push press and push jerk have no peer among the other presses like the “king” of upper body lifts, the bench press. As the athlete moves from shoulder press, to push press, to push jerk, the importance of core to extremity muscle recruitment is learned and reinforced. This concept alone would justify the practice and training of these lifts. Core to extremity muscular recruitment is foundational to the effective and efficient performance of athletic movement. The most common errors in punching, jumping, throwing, and a multitude of other athletic movements typically express themselves as a violation of this concept. Because good athletic movement begins at the core and radiates to the extremities, core strength is absolutely essential to athletic success. The region of the body from which these movements emanate, the core, is often referred to as the “power zone.” The muscle groups comprising the “power zone” include the hip flexors, hip extensors (glutes and hams), spinal erectors, and quadriceps. These lifts are enormous aids to developing the power zone. Additionally, the advanced elements of the progression, the push press and jerk, train for and develop power and speed.

When you do the exercises, go to muscle failure. This means you cannot do another complete repetition or hold the pose for any longer. Wall Squat How to do it: Stand with your back to a smooth wall with your feet at shoulder width and about one foot away from the wall. Keep your back firmly against the wall and slowly slide down the wall until your knees and hips are both at 90-degree angles. Make sure that your knees track over your toes. Hold this position until start to slide down and cannot maintain proper form. Many people say they can hold a longer wall squat but aren’t squatting deep enough.
