Exactly what I need since I'm finishing a current cycle and moving on to another one, maybe you can help add some ideas to my program! I greatly appreciate these videos!
I really enjoy unilateral overhead pressing. I use half my strict press percentages and really use my obliques to lean and press. A bit like a windmill but not as deep. I feel like it’s rounded out my pressing. And it’s kind old timey and fun. Wicked core exercise as a bonus.
I think rear delts are an underrated contributor to deadlift, and especially carrries. I think I can feel the most focused, specific rear delt fatigue at the end of a carry, or as I put the DBs back on the rack at the end of a set of DB stiff-legs.
Everyone says deadlift is the most badass movement. I say nothing is more badass than showing people you can out the weight of a large human body (or more) over your head.
Hi coach Joey... As always the best pieces of advice about training... But your eyes are getting smaller ... you are starting to remind me of Bud Spencer... thumbs up keep up the good work...
Not to be that kid, but the Z-Press is a bit of a misnomer. Zydrunas said in an interview that he never does it and certainly didn't invent it. Still a good exercise for us mortals tho! :)
When are you going to get Juji in you gym and make him do a crazy exercise routine like he has somehow gotten you to do multiple times lol Love your videos thanks for the tips and inspiration!
may i ask which variation i should use first ? example day 1 first variation : Strict press second cariation : push press day 2 first variation : Z press ( rpe 8 ) second variation : strict press lighter weight than day 1. is this good ? thanks
So I’ve just started training overhead motions more since I’ve always been pretty weak there. I’ve been doing just a strict barbell press without any momentum from the legs. Would it be more beneficial to do jerk presses more than a strict press to build that strength? Also definitely putting the Z presses into my routine now!
I started training 2 years ago, I'm not an expert at all, but I like to do both in the same sets! I start with say 5 Strict and end with 5 Push, for a total of 10 reps. I do 3 or 4 sets of this.
I always do strict press as much as possible then use push press to get in a few extra reps at the end of a set. But I don't count those push press reps towards the rep count, because my goal is to progress on strict press so those are the only reps that matter for my tracking.
High rep Z-press is horrible in the best way possible. It's the least advantageous position from which to press and teaches you to get your head through quickly.
Question. I hurt my back for the third time. This time it's muscle related though. I did it deadlifting but I didn't make sure to flex my glutes and that's how it happened. The question is, since I'm no longer pursuing strongman competitively, would it be best to just do rack pulls from the knees but with a wider grip? I'm icing still and when it heals, I'll be getting back into yoga and aqua fitness and bands. Thoughts, not just from Joey.
Power yoga and pilates will help big time with muscle recruitment and work capacity start a new cycle on the weights from ground zero focusing on technique you seem to know where it broke down and build it back focusing mostly on work capacity then the strength will come burn in those neurological path ways, this helped me with my nerve damage which resulted in me losing mind muscle connection that resulted In reoccurring injuries.
On the deadlift question I wouldn't drop it work on your weakest ROM for capacity 20x5 with small plates or deficit before building or testing the power it's a big ego hit till you can build it back up but the compensations need to be burnt out neurologically so your recruitment on the heavy lifts are prime movers stabilized be secondary recruitment not recruit everything you can I dropped heavy lifts and used heavy isometrics for neuro stimulus and mashed work capacity for 1 year made a massive difference now its just another training block between peaking. We can always improve keep grinding brother.
Joey: If you have a cat…
Me: …your cat should be pressing.
Joey: …get off my channel.
*Well that escalated quickly.*
That Impression of Z was spot on hahaha, great vid Joey

Awesome glad you have been liking it
Great content and an even better song🤘🏻

Awesome video, it's hard training strongman in a commercial gym, particularly training for circus dumbbell or log press
Totally understand. Maybe get some implements and ask if you can store them there or just do the best with what you got
Yeah fat grips and big plates aren't always the way to supplement

Loving the strongman themed videos!
Just did overhead press today and hit a huge pr. Gonna implement some of these tips in the future!
Exactly what I needed, more pressing, hoping to strengthen my shoulders instead of going and getting surgery like I should be.
Thank you papa Szat my Shoulders have grown tenfold since employing this supraphysiological protocol.
This dudes a beast
Liked the video! Commenting for algorithming reasons.
Very helpful 💪💪💪
The first time I tried a Z press it turned into an ab exercise, cuz I went straight backwards. Good times
Haha been there
Great post
Love your videos about the overhead press! Its my least developed lift so the content is much apprectiated.
I love my cpap. Lost a ton of weight since I got it and I don't think I need it anymore, but I still use it.
Thanks coach! really needed this input for my shoulder routine!
I will try all these exercises. I am hitting a Plateau at 50kg military. I'll update if I can overcome it
Dude, Bad ass, thanks
Great advice as always!
Thanks for listening
Man these videos are what I’ve been looking for! Thanks brother!
Awesome you are welcome
love this series joey!
Awesome thank you!!
I needed this, my OHP is stuck
Let me help you

My dog has a 3X bodyweight OHP. Thanks, Joey! 💪🏼 😉

I love that at 4:00 my man in the back is doin a big yawn but it also looks like he’s screaming his head off at Joey 😂

may i ask which variation i should use first ? example
day 1
first variation : Strict press
second cariation : push press
day 2
first variation : Z press ( rpe 8 )
second variation : strict press lighter weight than day 1.
is this good ? thanks
Are you competing at uss Nationals this year?
What kinda volume do you work on these days?
Trinidad and Tobago!!!
Interesting thing is that Zydrunas never did the z press.
I love dogs and cats. Now I just gotta press a lot more

Love the impersonation haha
#bouldersonshoulders boom!
But JF Caron says he doesn’t do shrugs 🤷♂️
pressing ok even if severe arthritis in shoulder?
Check with your doctor!
My cats press, too.

I like cats
First
Hello!
Waiters walks. Those are killers.
My cat is angered by your insolence.
Cats are better.
My cat Roger is faster and more agile than you.
