i think its essential advice. flexing my core and squeezing my cheeks made my deadlift progress from 225 to 260ish within 3 weeks when my back was recovering.

this is how you press.. you fill your stomach with air / push it out / flex while flexing glutes/quads as well. you use your lats too :shaq:

edit- just did 95 for 5 reps:ehh:

going for the big 100 when my arms don't feel:deadrose:

2nd edit- could only do 4 with 100, I never went that high before seated so i'm cool with that

your numbers man....they are ridiculous relative to your size :ohhh: :wow: you weigh 170 I weigh 227. I can't overhead press 245 which is the same relative weight for me as 185 is for you. :whoo:

Yeah I never really thought about it that way since most of my friends are bigger/taller than me so their #s are always higher than mine but yeah I've come a long way. :obama:

:salute: at my gym brehs to help keep me focused though.

I did that a few weeks ago and I never felt that much burn in my shoulders burn. I was oh so nice....

Only problem is it feels like the most unsafe shyt ever. When I was doing it I was just waiting for some shyt to pop and I hurt myself. We ain't really messed with it since then.
