 Go ! go ! team strengthshop !!!

I don't reckon overhead (or anything really) needs broken down and analysed too much. Lockout will just come as triceps/shoulders strengthen. | ||

Benches more than he deadlifts. Member 110, 91 posts SQ 340, BP 275, DL 270885.0 kgs @ 150kgs Eq | It's a bit off topic but I actually used the log press to help with my bench press lockout as I found the log great for the triceps! | ||

 always lookIng for the extra UT2 work. Member 9, 18279 posts SQ 210, BP 167.5, DL 260637.5 kgs @ 103kgs UnEq | Post Edited: 31.08.2008 @ 21:49 PM by jonnymills IMO you need to overload the top portion of the lift, so either add bands or chains to the log, or reduce the range of motion to get used to locking out heavier weights overhead using either seated or standing lockouts in the rack. Board presses and log bench press will probably help too, but not as much as the overhead lockouts. Also if you can suspend your log from the ceiling with chains, or set it on top of something to set the log around the top of your forehead, you could simply do lockouts standing with the log using supramaximal weight. Good luck (not that you need it  ) | ||

Dont eat my leg! Member 325, 189 posts SQ 145, BP 117.5, DL 190452.5 kgs @ 87.5kgs UnEq | It refers to a load that is in excess of your max for the regular range of movement. So for example, if I was doing a heavy set of bench lock outs, that would be with a supramaximal load because the weight would exceed my 1RM on the bench. | ||
