"Press OverHEAD, Not OverOUT" Believe it or not, if you perform an overhead pressing movement, there is a good chance that you are performing it incorrectly. Many people don’t perform the Overhead Press correctly. This is because they don’t press overhead, they press over out. Performed correctly, an Overhead Pressing movement should move the weight (bar, dumbbell, kettlebell, etc.) up “overhead” in a straight line when viewed from the side. In other words, if you drew an imaginary vertical line in line with your ear hole, the “top” position of an Overhead Pressing movement would place your hands (grasping the weight) on this line. Now, this might sound like Basic Weight Training 101 type of stuff, but you’d be surprised how many people don’t do this. Instead of pressing so that the weight ends up overhead, it ends up actually in front of the head (imagine your arms and head creating a 20-25 degree angle). This is bad because it can really wreak havoc on your shoulders – the joints, not the muscles. The leverage that your shoulders have to work against when you’re in this bad position can really put undue and unnecessary stress on your shoulders. To make sure you’re performing the Overhead Press correctly, have somebody watch you press from the side. Have them make sure you are not pressing “out.” If you are, then reduce the amount of weight you’re using and concentrate on using proper form. Your shoulders will thank you later. Train Hard, Rest Hard, Play Hard.

"Hey man, that's so f@#$ing crazy
that you just emailed me, I'm reading your article about sand bags right
now on MMA Weekly! I would love to try one of your workouts. I've read
several of your articles, and I really like your approach...You've got
some great ideas, man. I really liked the sand bag article.Thanks again, and take care," Joe Rogan UFC Color Commentator BJJ Brown Belt US Open TKD Champion, MW & HW TKD Champion "I
have been training in MMA for a year and lifting weights for over two years
consistantly. I have trained in bodybuilding, crossfit, and powerlifting for
different aspects of conditioning. But NOTHING is like your MMA workout plan...As
far as my skills training goes this program has created a buzz by my team about
if I am on the "juice" or not. I am able to run through my partners
and keep going. The cardio work has allowed me to go a whole class without a
break, and then go to my next class and keep the intensity going...I LOVE this
workout plan and want to get some of my teammates going..." "Hey
man, I had my first mma fight in New York last weekend and ended up giving up
30 pounds to my opponent because he was the main event fighter and his opponent
backed out. They asked me to fight up in weight in the main event against this
guy and I won via arm bar submission in the second round. I just wanted to thank
you for the programs with the sandbag because I was stronger and better conditioned
then this guy who has apparently won the gold cup tae kwon do championship 7
out of the last 8 years. If it wasn't for my strength and conditioning, I probably
would have never gotten him to the ground and won. Just wanted to give you a
shout out and say thanks." "It's
cool to see you layout the rep schemes for the power complexes. And I liked
the section on healing shoulders, lots of guys out here have that problem...And
also, good to see you include MFD, I am still a huge proponent of that, I think
it's key." "...it's
like you reached into my head and pulled out what I've been attempting to accomplish
and I'm only on the first 20 pages...approaching conditioning from both ends
is f#cking genius. I was doing it from the intensity point of view only..." |
