Rather be paranoid and injury free than a hero!

This, though I'd even suggest being paranoid and injury free is the path to becoming a hero (albeit a slower one); whereas the "hero" alternative in your quote never actually makes it there thanks to f**king their shoulders/back/any other part of your body you can injure from being a retard.

I'm probably just being overly paranoid, but it has been bugging me that my pressing movements are really lagging behind the rows, squats, deadlift.

I'm in the same boat as you boz, I just figured it was because OHP uses smaller muscles?

Saw a chick doing chin ups today, was thoroughly impressed, she did more than most guys do.

I'm not having pain or anything like that, I can just feel it more in the shoulders. I'll try some assisted pullups, stretching etc then go back to my bench pressing and OHP and see if there's any difference after a week.

You won't feel pain first. That comes later. Weakness is the sign. If you go backwards thats always a problem anyway and should get attention (sleep / diet / injury)

Assisted pullups aren't part of the recovery. Stick to external rotations/ bands / cubans. Those sorts of movements.

Scapular wall slide is another test for thorasic mobility. How do go with that?

I did the scapular wall slide, no movement in butt or back arch. I also did a version where you lie on the floor and do much the same thing, no problems. I did do the pencil test and they pointed inwards, so doing wall slides regularly are also meant to help with improving this.

Ok duly noted Tolga - I assume you mean 3x5 warmup sets then 3x3 work sets as outlined in this article http://startingstrength.com/articles/stronger_press_starr.pdf , I'll have to hunt around my gym to see if they have any resistance bands, or I'll buy one. I'll include the face pulls as well as the external rotations.

For the face pulls and Cuban press, should I do linear progression with it, or just keep it at a light weight?

Edited by bozodos

Bill starr OHP routine is

2-3 sets X 5 rep for warm up

6 sets X 3 reps using the same weight for all sets, increase when all 6 sets can be completed

1 set X 10 reps back off set at a lighter weight.

He also suggests very incline bench press an dips etc on a separate day.

But I reckon at least 4 weeks before you press.

do as Rev suggested with the band and cuban press stuff. and the face pulls and band pull aparts.

you'll come back stronger eventually.

Not like you have an OHP comp coming up in the next 80 years

well I'd prefer to continue my PTC beginner routine if I can, which includes dips - I'd obviously give the bench a rest while working on shoulder mobility.

I'll give all that stuff a go though - I don't really have anything to lose here, and a lot to gain if it means I'm not snapping up my shoulders!

What's the outline for the PPP routine again? Might give it a shot. Is the book anygood?

It is a PDF file Markos emails to you.

His gym results speak for themselves, plus people on here have used it with good success.

It's not your normal bodybuilding.com 6 week transformation though.

    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2  
    • Thank you so much for the help
    • Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
    • Hey all. I’m looking on replacing my speed sensor on my R33 GTR. Will the center differential need to be drained, and if so, the center diff uses ATF fluid D? I found information on the transmission, front diff and rear diff. Can’t find a for sure answer for the center diff. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
