Had a long hard think about this and came up with thus:

If its strict its a strict press.
If its not its just a press.

Amen.

Cheers for the responses Lads - I'm going to make sure all my reps are from a dead stop from now, not just the 1st one.

Love this place.

A is correct, although for the purposes of strength training does it really matter?

Which bit Marko?

I love this place cause I can ask random questions get a whole host of good replies.

The Strict press thing - Just wanted to know what people classed as a strict press so I can make sure I'm doing the same thing. This way I know what to look for when comparing cock size on the PB charts Happy

First rep for me is always strict, but there after i want to be pressing and using as much power and speed as possible, you dont have to make a bench press, or shoulder pressing movment in strongman harder than it has to be.

Out of interest how much was Doug Hepburn pressing in that video. Good quality video, unusual for an old one and boy is he one big guy !

Hepburn attributed his upper body strength to handstands and walking on his hands because he believed that more blood would flow to the upper body if he exercised upside down through pushups etc!
