"And in those simple beautiful movements I remembered what was really important in training; that consistency trumps intensity; all the time. That intensity is born from consistency. That one cannot force it, one has to lay in wait for it, patiently, instinctively, calmly and be ready to grab it when Grace lays it down in front of you."

100 Lb Military Press 5 x 3 Pr. Barbell hacks, floor pushups, sled pull
Well right back into the mix after a very good weekend at the StrengthMatters summit. My talk went over very well and it was actually great fun, with the powerpoint to really help make the events I was talking about real,and come alive
The rest of the presenters and weekend was actually very very good and I learned a lot and had a great time as well. A very diverse and eclectic bag of information and people for sure got their monies worth!
Not much activity for me and not being able to really stretch out my shoulders well took a toll by this morning. Luckily they opened up fast. I can get my knee and hips opened well on the floor but I really need a stick and a bar to hang from ideally, and a trx is possible.No biggie but it always amazes me how tight and stiff I can get from doing nothing! it's not like not moving is an option.
Luckily today was no volume but it was overhead work. Getting the shoulders overhead at work all day helped a lot
Didn't know how I would feel either but I just kept putting weight on the bar to see how things felt and ended up at 100 lbs, didn't remember my pr but looking back it was just 3 sets of 3. 5 x 3 is a a decent pr!
Military press

bar x 5 ,3

Is it possible to force your head through after the bar clears it on the MP or does old injuries prevent this?

Rip's video looks more like the old Olympic style press used before the lift was eliminated in the early 70s than the military press.

I wish it was possible. I'm doing it this way because I can't get it farther back
the old military press was so strict no big weights could be lifted. Rips technique IS the oly technique which WAS the strictest version of the press
