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?

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.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
