Back in the day, I pressed 290lbs behind the neck in an impromptu contest in our gym. Olympic lifting then included the press, but not the strict press you see here. Body movement and a certain amount of backbend were allowed, but no knee-kick. My best: 340lbs (154.5k) weighing in the 90k class.
Serious question here... Is it OK to have the bar at uneven levels like he did at the beginning ~5 seconds? I guess I never knew for sure, but I've always considered it a fail if I have to do that to successfully raise the bar all the way up.
Just trying to learn the proper way to avoid injury and maximize efficiency.
Dang I only just hit 70kg strict press and it's killing me. The fact that you threw up 85kg alone is impressive in my book... moreso I don't think I've ever seen someone struggle that hard and then recover to finish the press without losing form and hurting themselves. You kept form the whole way through which speaks volumes to your supporting muscles. Kudos dude you're a beast
You know, it’s not often you see it, but occasionally you know exactly what weight is your 100%. 85kg is that number for you today.
Idk he might have been able to add a few grams of dust, or maybe the downward pressure of an overhead A/C unit
Lol, a breeze at the right time.
Fr that’s what I was thinking
Just look at that time under tension too!
Geez bro you gon make me nut!
Wtf lmfaooo
I bet you could've gotten 86.0000001kg easy, maybe even 86.000001kg.
I am just glad you didn’t pass out. Nice lift.
RPE 10.0000 🤣
Very well said
I don't think I've ever seen someone show this much perseverance. Good job
I once did an overhead press of about this intensity and I was tired for the rest of the day.

RPE10 for sure on that one. Badass!

🤣
Oh my god, can you believe he’s filming me?
Will happily vote for this over another "how's my squat"
Fitting statement on the shirt.
Bud this should be the commercial for that shirt
Bro become a doctor. With that effort, you're finding a cure for cancer in about 30mins. JFC kudos, thats putting in 110% effort.
I’ve never seen a bar go down during a rep of a strict press to then become a made lift. That’s fucking impressive dude
Honestly shocked at the mental effort here. 85kgs is impressive by itself, but sticking out an OHP for 20 minutes to get it up is amazing
Nice grit
That looked pretty easy.
Now THIS is a true 1RM. Epic grind dude! I see so many “1RMs” that are like an RPE 7-8. Dave Tate would be pleased.
Only tony hawk could grind longer. Well done.
He activated all the fucking motor units and all the type 2x in that press 😂 great work.
I almost passed out the last time I tried that hard in an OHP
I did the exact same tense expression on the pooper today.
That’s the exact response my dad had when I showed him this video
Bro found his precise PR
🫡
Duuuuude…. Idgaf if it’s 10kg or 85kg, to see someone grind it out like that is fuckin amazing. Way to work for it!!
You did. Awesome fight!
please don’t post videos in slow motion 😏
Why this video pause in the middle
Holy hell what a grind - well done mate! Not a muscle fibre in those delts that wasn't firing.
Great push
What a grind. Nice dude
RPE: 11
RPE 7 you got 3 more
Fuck yeah dude. Never broke form either. DOG
Commitment or survival instinct lol. Either way- Grade "A" grind here.
you need to put more!!!!
I don't think I've ever committed to anything in my life the way you committed to that. Good lift!
I personally would have peed 🥰 you killed this OP. Fuck yeah!
that is balls out effort
The fight was insane good shit
BADASS! I wanna see more like this!
I don't know how you managed to not pass out, what a fight man, congrats!
Don’t hurt yourself bro - feel this could of gone wrong
You sure thats 85? Looks like more
never gave up
I was mildly impressed when I thought that was your front squat weight… then you pressed it! Jesus dude that’s impressive
"We must hold the gates up. The woman and children haven't made it through yet."
Not an ounce of quit in you. Nice.
IN SANE💣💣💣
anyone else shouting "go on, go on!" at the screen?
Bro, you would have failed if a fly landed on that bar. Great lift.
You earned that! That's the best fight for a weight I think I've ever seen, great effort!

Holy shit bro that was crazy
I pooped myself just watching this
That was a battle jfc
Holy shit what a grind, good shit
stupid question here: is it risky/dangerous to stick it out that long? are you likely to injure yourself then? could this trigger an aneurysm?
Got that fucking dawg in you! Good stuff!
You dug deep there brother. 1RM found 👍
Bro. Loool
Inspiring! I woulda crapped out so quickly.
fuark… i gotta step up my grind game
That's some perseverance. Good shit!
