lh schulterdrücken vs. push press

VeganEssentials schrieb:A push-press or jerk is nothing like a regular press in application. I average 40-60 lbs. more on overhead pressing with leg drive than I do without, because it's a completely different animal. The push takes off some of the stress of the intial press, but once you clear about 6-9" or so, there's little to no more advantage from the leg drive if you're going heavy (unless you simultaneously dip under the bar on the catch in jerk fashion). Using push presses often HELP your strict press get better because you're A) building more core stability in handling heavier weights, B) strengthening your shoulders with overloaded weights beyond your strict press from a few inches off the shoulders to lockout, and C) overloading your triceps to handle heavier weights at lockout. It has many different functions for using leg drive, and again, much of it carries over to strict pressing as once you hit big numbers with leg drive, dropping down to strict press weights feel like you're handling a fraction of the poundages that you had done before.
