Benefits of ✅ Dumbbell Push Press
The chest push press is an effective chest-focused workout because it combines explosive pressing mechanics with dynamic resistance, engaging multiple muscle groups.
👍 The chest push press activates secondary muscles, including:
👉 Triceps (for elbow extension)
👉 Deltoids (especially anterior delts)
👉 Core and Serratus Anterior (for stability and control)

On the one hand, I'm definitely shaking off a little rust from having taken off from the #gym for so long. On the other hand, my joints and such haven't felt this good in a while. So that's great!
#PushPress and #OHP today. 4 sets of 8-12 reps each.
Another shorter video of a couple of max weight tests from last week. Push press was 4x205lbs, Bench Press was 1x305lbs. No commentary so no subtitles. spectra.video/w/4qo2nmosoMjLk2DEt7z8yV

Week #4 video published! https://spectra.video/w/kmqiKWSforCWLSd8HDzBBr. Also got my first pass of subtitled/CC (in English) dropped in. Hope that's helpful!

Last week of the 5/3/1 training block video here! https://spectra.video/w/3Lcqb4spr1n7a8bJdzG1u3. (I also put it on YouTube if you prefer watching it over there).
This week I figured out how to record GoPro footage at a better resolution so it can actually be used in these! I also threw in some extra footage of random dog walks and driving around. Might be worth scrubbing through the video to see those bits if nothing else!
I also realized there was a much better encoding option which makes the videos render faster and be a way lower file size. So that's great!
I dropped the ball on closed captions. I'm sorry about that and it's still on my list to get going next time!

Finally got back to the #gym today after some illness and random distractions! Was a totally random day, but I ended up doing a pressing session. Did #PushPress for triples up to about 95% 1RM, then #StrictPress triples every minute on the minute (EMOM) for 6 or 7 minutes. Felt pretty good!
Decided to put the first video on YouTube. If anyone can recommend an alternative YouTube front end I'm happy to link through that. Still searching for a #PeerTube option also.
Anyway, Pressing 5/3/1 Week 1 is here! Next week's goal is going to be a shorter video, and hopefully slightly better audio! Let me know what you think!

Feeling pretty excited to start the new program today at the #gym. Lots of #PushPress and more.
I'm also feeling excited to hear about what others are working on recently. Doesn't have to be #fitness related even. Just hoping people want to share something important to them they're focused on. Anyone have anything neat going on?
New PR today! 225lbs/100kg #pushpress has finally fallen. I had plans to do a strict press 225lbs, but due to my shoulder issues earlier last year, I stalled out hard on that. Really happy with this though!
Not on video - I pulled it off the rack a second time just to see if I had a second attempt in me. Barely walked it out after that lol. Oi. Long way to go to progress this further, but with the shoulder not being a clown anymore, I've got the ability to work on it now.
Video, but this time I took the audio out to avoid the angry loud scaries!

If, no, when I hit my goal of a 225lbs single on my #pushpress I'm going to finally buy myself a log for the gym. I've been wanting to try it out and train it for a long time.

Second rep of the third set, I think to myself:
"Past two #pushpress sets went great. So far this one is too!"
Third rep. Lose balance but manage to recover.
Fourth rep. Moves fine but I bash my chin with the barbell.
lol whoops pay attention me!
Tonight's #pushpress session is feeling really great! My opening heavy set felt really easy and sturdy. I had at least 2 reps left in me, maybe even 3! Doesn't happen every session that's for sure.
#strengthtraining #weightlifting
Feeling bit slow on the #pushpress tonight. Had kind of an off day, and did a lot of walking before this. So it's probably just adding up.
That being said, my 5lbs jump feels good. Slowly but surely we scale the mountain or something.
#strengthtraining #gym #fitness #weightlifting
My plan to back down and work back up for a few cycles on my #pushpress weight has finished this new cycle. I went down to 145lbs for 5x6 instead of 155lbs. Took about 6 weeks.
So far it's paid off. Felt very comfortable tonight doing 5x6 @ 155lbs, and the opening 1x3 @ 170lbs set felt challenging but fine, just like I expected. Between the big explosive strength improvements, a bit of shoulder pain improvement, and general conditioning, it felt much better.
Of course we'll see how I feel at the end of the cycle lol. So far it's good though!
#strengthtraining #weightlifting
Tonight is the night of #pushpress! And also other presses. #strengthtraining #fitness
Related, I wonder when I'll try for another 1RM test. Think I'm gonna give it a few more cycles. Unfortunately I had to abandon my original big goal, but I may be able to get an alt goal by end of the year if all continues going well.
Hit a new PR on the push press tonight of 215lbs/98kg. Last attempt was late last November.
So close to where I want to be! Few more months and I think I'll hit 225lb/100kg.
Sound Watching music will always be loud. Mute or turn the volume down!
