The Push Press

In the push press, the core-to-extremity principle is obvious as the muscles of the power zone — including the hip flexors, hip extensors (glutes and hams), spinal erectors, and quadriceps — assist the arms in driving the barbell overhead. With the push press, you will be able to move overhead as much as 30% more weight than with the shoulder press. Regular practice of the push press — and the push jerk — develops power and speed, which are critical to effective and efficient athletic movement.

The Push Jerk

14

With the push jerk, you will be able to move overhead as much as 30 percent more weight than with the push press. Similar to the push press, the push jerk employs the hips to create upward momentum on the bar, but the athlete then pushes against the bar with the arms and dips a second time to receive the push jerk in a partial squat. With the arms locked out, the legs complete the lift. After mastering the push jerk, you will find that it will unconsciously displace the push press as your method of choice when going overhead.

“Work smart and not hard” that’s these scammers’ slogan. They lure you with promises of luxury and lifetime riches without you doing anything besides investing in their investment schemes, and if you ever fall prey, they will siphon you of every penny dry.

This was exactly what I needed this morning. This week's programming was killer! Lifted today in No Bulls and stayed away from any trappings like belt, wraps, etc. Wanted to stay comfortable and not push too hard. Feeling strong and ready for 19.2!

Intended Stimulus

.

Heavy day! If proficient with this movement, today let's maximize load. Go as heavy your mechanics will allow. Use the sets of 5's and 3's to dial in your mechanics and to build to a moderate/heavy load. Then go for it! Athletes familiar with this lift but not yet completely proficient can work sets of three instead of singles. Athletes new to the push jerk should work on drills to develop solid form. The drills proposed here can also be used as warm ups for experienced athletes doing push jerks.

.

Option 1


Push Jerk 5-5-5-3-3-3-3-3-3 reps



Option 2


5 sets

5 push press


5 sets

5 press behind the neck in power receiving position

5 sets

5 tall power jerks


5 sets

5 push jerks

Globo scale... If you have a rack and bumper plates do as Rxed. Otherwise go for really heavy singles that you can control on the way down back to your shoulders. Do this one from the rack if possible.

Champions Club Scaling Notes


STIMULUS:

Every single movement we do is part skill and part strength — meaning there is both a coordination aspect and a positional stability aspect that go into making a movement performed well. The skill can usually be seen as timing with the core to extremity principle (using the hips to initiate the movement, not arms or legs); strength is seen in the static start, transition, and finish positions. Experienced athletes or freakishly coordinated new peeps can be coached on both at once, but usually I prefer picking one or the other to emphasize on a given workout.

When looking at the push perk, it’s a great opportunity to practice the timing and weightlessness that is needed in cleans, snatches, kipping movements, and running. Here’s a post I did on it a while back on the split jerk (same principles, though).

http://championsclub.squarespace.com/home/2017/11/15/coachs-corner-conor-and-mr-carey.html

I say use this opportunity to keep the weight lighter and feel as coordinated as possible. Can you let the bar go as you drop? How long can you keep your feet in the same place? Can you feel the *click* when you land? As with most max effort days, disregard the rep scheme. Or don’t. You’re your own boss.


GROUP:

Since the mobility is an issue for lots of us, going to split jerks might not be a bad bet, alternating legs on the split. Make sure there’s enough space between racks and such and start with sets of 10 or 20. If you’re not feeling the max effort tip today, then do an AMRAP with push press, lunges, and extended plank holds.


WARMUP:

Handstand — prep for overhead

Lunge or squat — prep for either landing

Kb swing — core to extremity

Jump rope — always

[insert thing you suck at]


KEY MATCHUP: your brain vs. the fear of dropping under heavy weight over your head


SCALING THIS WELL WILL CAUSE ME TO: feel coordinated


GENERAL FEAR LEVEL (1=REST DAY, 10=PR-DRIVEN FGB): 4. Similar to overhead squat but loss of connection make it a tad more tricky.


GENERAL EMASCULATING LEVEL (1=WHO DOES RING HSPU ANYWAY?, 10=THIS TEENAGE GIRL IS DEADLIFTING MORE THAN ME): 6. Mobility issues are no fun!

We are getting really familiar with this scheme! This rep-scheme allows for plenty of time to practice and refine mechanics. At submaximal loads, athletes will have multiple chances to dial in technique and prepare themselves for near-maximum singles. Most of my athletes will attempt this workout as prescribed, as long as sound mechanics are maintained. My experienced athletes will be coached to achieve near-max loads on the final set of 3 reps and the final set of 1 rep. Here are some guidelines, I may use, for an athlete that knows their 1-rep max push jerk:

Set 1: 70%

Set 2: 75%

Set 3: 80%

Set 4: 85%

Set 5: 87.5-90%

Set 6: 90-92.5%

Set 7: 92.5-95%

Set 8: 95-97.5%

Set 9: 97.5-100% or potentially a new PR effort.

These percentages are general guidelines. Athletes respond differently to the same percentages, so I know I will need to still be hands-on with loading adjustments.

For less experienced athletes, I will likely remove the sets of 1-rep and have them continue to perform sets of 3 reps at submaximal loads. This will provide them with optimal volume to continue technical development.

As with all heavy days, I will reduce load on the remaining sets if an athlete’s technique significantly deviates from sound mechanics or if there are multiple failed attempts.

This movement this movement is very technically challenging, but improvements come from continuous practice. For this reason, even if I have athletes that really struggle with this movement, I will keep them at light loads to work on refining range of motion and mechanics. However, there might be special situations where I modify the movement to a different shoulder-to-overhead variation. The shoulder press and push press are both viable options, but I see my use of these movements as being very rare, today.
