=== Why Push Press? (01:32) ===

[00:00:13]  Greetings Juvens.
[00:00:14]  Today I want to quickly elaborate a bit on why I prefer the push press towards the strict press.
[00:00:21]  And that code is simple.
[00:00:22]  Honored gods, love your woman, protect your country.
[00:00:32]  Okay, that was not really the answer to it.
[00:00:35]  The reason is quite simple indeed.
[00:00:37]  It's because it's easier to progress.
[00:00:40]  We all know, I think everyone who's watching this, I think like 80% of all guys who are watching this knows the fucking feel when stall on overhead press.
[00:00:50]  It is really, really hard to progress on it.
[00:00:54]  It is.
[00:00:55]  That's a known fact.
[00:00:56]  It's a notorious fact.
[00:00:59]  So, for me, when I began stalling on the strict military press, I switched to push press because it's easier to progress there.
[00:01:08]  And I became stronger.
[00:01:09]  And as a result of me becoming stronger in the push press, I also got stronger overall and stronger in the stricter press.
[00:01:19]  Now I'm not strong in the strict press still.
[00:01:22]  I am stronger, not strong.
[00:01:24]  But for me, it is the case that I want to progress there.
[00:01:29]  If I can progress in the push press, but I can't progress in the strict press, it doesn't really matter that much that the strict press might, you know, take more exclusively on the shoulders.
[00:01:40]  I just want to move heavy weights, and that's also because, yes, I want the shoulders to grow.

=== Progressing the Push Press (01:15) ===

[00:01:46]  So, yeah, let's talk a bit about that as well.
[00:01:49]  Since it might be prudent to do now.
[00:01:51]  If you're on big shoulders, same rules applies as with anything.
[00:01:55]  Push a lot, push frequently, push with the mindset that you're gonna progress.
[00:02:01]  So that's the important key here.
[00:02:03]  Now, obviously, bench press is great for the shoulders as well.
[00:02:07]  When you pause, obviously, it primarily hits the chest, but the triceps and the shoulders get a good going as well.
[00:02:14]  Then you can add lateral rises like that.
[00:02:18]  Really good exercise.
[00:02:20]  And then, obviously, some sort of overhead press.
[00:02:24]  And in that regard, I just happened to prefer the push press because I can progress easier in that.
[00:02:32]  So, short, informative video.
[00:02:35]  Leave a comment if you like, like the video.
[00:02:38]  If you haven't subscribed already, you're wrong and I hate you.
[00:02:41]  No, seriously, but do it.
[00:02:43]  It's so I can reach like 20,000 or something soon.
[00:02:46]  Would be cool.
[00:02:47]  Would be fine.
[00:02:48]  Then I can celebrate with something epic and make an epic video out of it.
[00:02:53]  Either fucking way.
[00:02:54]  Thanks for watching.
[00:02:55]  And who am I?
[00:02:57]  I'm the juicy elf of testosterone.
