Dan tore his pec pretty badly earlier in the year. He switched to reverse grip to take the load off his pec, and found out he's stronger with that grip.

His PB when he tore it was 167.5kg, done on the same session he tore his pec, I think he'll get 185kg next weekend

I've watched enough PTC videos to know you know what you're talking about when it comes to strength training and getting real results. It's why I try and follow your method of training.

When you put it like that, I now understand why you say that we aren't going to get to that level training by ourselves in commercial pleasure spa gyms. Explains a lot actually about the difference of actually training there, rather than just seeing it as you teasing us with the unattainable for the sake of it.

I do believe you get it now Bozo

You could go out into the street and kick a footy around for hours, and never be as good as the guys in the AFL, even Richmond players lol

So PTC isnt simply a gym, so much more

We have lifters train at PTC in Carrum Downs that live in Caroline Springs, Elwood, Fitzroy, Croyden, Templestowe.

Looks like a gun teen lifter is moving from Adelaide to Carrum Downs to simply train with us before the end of the year.

You have got it bozo

Im not 'training' at the moment . I am mucking around. I will be training when i get serious and go to a gym

Not what i do at the moment

All these factors are in context that i mention. Training. Not pissing around

Edited by rev210

Over doing it = undereating or sleeping

Exactly this. It's less "over training" and more "under resting" so to speak. Another reason I got such got results when I was unemployed lol, had all the time in the world to recover.

That exercise is how I injured myself

Standing press is a good movement , however it needs good technique like all good movements as it's a compound one. It's not hard to do but, you should understand it.

People get taught to do it wrong or not at all. The stabilisation strength of the upper back and shoulders is very important. If you are managing a challenging weight , then not doing things correctly can hurt your upper back/spine. Mostly people do the basics wrong. Not drawing in lots of air and stabilising the core (abs are tense but, pushed out). I. Also,pre-fatiguing the shoulder stabilsing muscles with things like volume bench press or other isolation shoulder movements beforehand is a fail.

Behind the head is not a beginners variation let alone snatch grip width.

It was my first exercise of my program so I wasn't pre fatiguing with other volume work, but something went wrong when I started doing 25kg. I used to have alot of people ask me why I was doing behind the head.

I don't think it was this exercise that got you. You were using fine technique last I saw you do it. It could have aggravated a predisposition, certainly.

So my shoulder went twaannngg during the exercise and it wasnt this exercise that has left me screwed?

What was it then?

It would be the technique then Leesh. Were you also taking the bar off the ground with a 'clean' or did you take it out of a rack? Picking it up off the ground is good training but, you need to know how to do it right also.

I did test of a few 100kg military press sets today (I clean & press these) ,speaking with some reasonable past experience. I would not consider behind the neck press at any weight a part of my training if I was to seriously bother. It requires more scapular strength to stabilise if you do it right and stresses the rotator more, pretty much for no other reason than to be a hero.

Once you get better drop the behind the neck thing. You can get tips on Military press if you want to do it correctly, I think it's a good compund movement.

clean and jerk to get it up behind my head.

ALike I said, you were likely predisposed...this exercise may have simply been the straw that broke the camel's back. It'd quite a strict movement; one of the reasons it is done behind neck, because there is little variance in the range of motion. As long as you're taught and execute it correctly, this makes it one of the safer shoulder exercises. But no amount of safety in a range of motion will save you if not everything is sitting right when you do it.

Just use a squat rack when you get back into it. get the technique sorted on the standing press. It's pretty easy with practice and one less thing to worry about while getting it perfect.

So are you suggesting to use the squat rack and do it behind my head still?

    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny
