Your shoulders are stronger than my legs

Your strength and your strength knowledge are are very impressive. It is not difficult to understand why you have been so successful in your Strongman competitions. Thank you for taking the time to share your extensive training knowledge with those of us who enjoy training. Also a 'tip of the hat' to Alan Thrall for giving us a pointer to your KZfaq channel.

if I die because a barbell fell on me, add more weights, then call an ambulance!!

Hey Brian. I'm following your 3-month linear progression program and adding to it all kind of assistance exercices you preach. The results are awesome 3 weeks is visually and on the bar. OHP was my weakest exercise and it started looking decent with all your tips. Thanks for your valuable videos and inspiration!

It's been 5 years and I still keep coming back to your videos Brian. Your tips and advice are rare to find on KZfaq. Every tip I incorporated has helped me make my lifts strong and controlled. Thanks a lot Brian!

Brian, your strength and physic are out of this world. Thanks for another great video. I have included the overhead press in my workout program ever sense I first watched the how-to video, when I first subscribed to your channel many months ago.

390 that just beautiful... gr8 pr brother! 👊

Awesome video Brian, I really like the overhead walking to increase stabilization. I found that once I get close to my max that keeping my core tight becomes a big issue. ill incorporate this into my training. Keep up the great work!

"Ask Santa." Had me in stitches aha!

Brian you explain the movement very well, funny, and great editing of you videos. Keep up the good work and GOD BLESS.

The strict OHP is a really cool lift. A very nice way to test you strength and I consider it one of the 4 big lifts (as opposed to the 3). It also makes my shoulder+abs day much more interesting. Without it my shoulder+abs day would just be boring and tedious, honestly.

That was incredibly good. For some reason there's not a lot of good videos on improving push and jerk press are related to strongman so this perfectly hits that spot. Thanks a lot!

nice PR! I've been programming waiter walks as a finisher on ohp day since you last mentioned them in your programming ohp video. takes me 180 steps to circuit the basketball court. barbell and dumbbell both. some days for weight, some days for speed. 2 days ago, I hit my 6-weeks-ago 1rm for four reps. yeah man... the proof is in the improvement. big thanks as always, Brian!

damn you can strict ohp 300? subbed for that alone. my next goal is 205..... I was super happy to hit bw strict lol

i love in your videos when it goes greyscaled. its almost like another personality taking over and replying and apart of a conversation with us.... ITS JUST REALLY cool and unique

Im so glad i started watching your videos. I went from only training bench squat and deadlift, and it causing shoulder problems to working in strongman stuff and im hooked. My shoulder feels better than ever now and i just ohp 245 not 390 but im getting there

Everyone be nice to Brian jeez. He even says be nice to each other! Brian man, baby PRs are still PRs.Congratulations on your PR!! Some people at my gym only make a deal if you go 20lbs. They dont care about 5lbs or 10lbs. Thanks to you, I think if its an increase you are winning and if you fail somehow you learn. Awesome video man!

great video and great tips. can't wait to try out some of these exercises and you make a point about the front squat.

Damn all of this mans content are sheer nuggets of gold. The force is strong with this one.

Came here after watching your OHP/PushPress video on Omar's channel, so sincere and straight to the point. Great work and content, my friend. Subbed for sure :)

Annoyed at myself that I have only just discovered your channel. This is gold, subbed! (Also, I see not one, but two Scotland flags in your gym... fuck yes my man)

very interesting! didn't think I would learn anything but I did!

Another great video! I literally laughed out loud at "ask Santa". Keep up the great content!

Bands for the over head what is this alphadestiny?

...and then, suddenly, Buff Santa appeared.

Why have I not stumbled onto this guys videos till just now? SUBBED! Thank you for your service to our country brother!

This is when you have mad respect for weightlifters and strong man! I think ive seen klokov push press 500 lbs.. And I remember thinking to myself wtf I can barely hold 225 above my head.

I love to front squat! Got some new exercises to include in my routine now too. Thanks a lot.

So glad i found your channel. Really looking forward to implement your training program into my training. Keep up the fantastic work and advice

Great video as always Brian! I never would have thought to incorporate front squats and banded ohp; I'll have to put them in my program! This is totally weird and out there weird but your personality and wisdom make it seem like you'd be a great father.

You are too strong. Should violate the laws of physics or something.

Love the videos, I'll never quite be a strongman but I really like trying the tips and workouts you do in the videos, keep them coming man!!

Best damn channel on KZfaq, great stuff Brian. Congrats on the PR, going for those small 5lb gains has done wonders for my training. Btw lol'd at "ask Santa" and "stay-bility"

2nd his recommendation for front squat increasing overhead push press. Put 50 lbs on my front squat and my push press ohp increased significantlybecause of the leg drive. Also added close grip incline, low reps, heavy weight to help with lock outs

You ae so informational and entertaining! Thanks you for your time

Perfect timing! It just happens to be press night, tonight. I'll have to give a couple of these a go.

I had to go back and re-watch the ask Santa shout out. It was great, another great one Brian

I was gonna get a chest supported row for Xmas, but I think you have talked me into a yoke. Thanks for sharing. Great video.

Just subscribed and really enjoying your channel. Not only are you are strong, but you give great info and are super funny.

Love the video! I hate how purists get caught up in symantics and hate on lifters from other disciplines for saying things "wrong." I'm just happy people are pushing themselves and trying to be strong and healthy

Brian, what happen to the cricket? So how is circus dumbbell coming Along? Just kidding, love your videos. Look forward to them. You keep this 47 yr old motivated....

Thanks for the video, there aren't many videos on the overhead press out there. The overhead press is one of my lifts I perform once a week. I was pressing 225, but it's closer to 200 now. Those were some good exercises in the video that I'm eager to try and that I would never learn from commerical gym trainers. Actually, in commercial gyms, very few even bench press in the 200's. My bench is 350 and members at my commercial gym think that's, "incredible."

I'm a powerlifter down in Glen Burnie (about 45 min from your gym)! Subscribed!

I literally just bought all of the rogue bands early this afternoon I will have to give that exercise a try at the end of my workout thanks for the video

One of the best channels on here great info and the best thing is he's grateful 💪💪💪💪💪

My strict barbell OHP is 170/75, my barbell push press is 200. My strict log press is probably 180 (Ive done 172 for 2). I haven't tested my log push press max yet. Shoulders are a weaker point for me, working to make them not so.

you have earned a subscriber my friend, impressive lift and interesting video, tons of good information. thank you for the time you put into these uploads.

your videos inspire me to NEVERSATE my thirst for strength!

The OHP is my weakest lift with my max being just 50 kgs with a BW of 71. Thanks for all the tips sir.

Man in the 2015 competition of WSM Under 105kg the best lifted overhead the same weight as you did. Why dont you try to participate to WSM under 105kg ?

new favorite channel.this dude is a beast.

man your videos are perfect brother I am gonna try overhead press

What a beast

thought it would be strict pres with no leg drive while reading the title! lol

Always motivated by your vids

Amazing work Brian! I have been lifting for 6 months - next years goal is 1 x bodyweight overhead (225lbs) ....its not there yet... or anywhere close.

amazing stuff, thanks for the pro tips

very informative stuff man so much knowledge bombs for strength keep up the hard work 💪😎

Maybe the only reason not many people do heavy overhead presses is because it's hard. Great point on the front squat - perfect prep for an overhead lift.

Just discovered ur channel man and I love it!! Keep it up

always good information and the editing is funny too

Awsome Brian already looking forward to the 400 🖒💪

I love seeing the WHOLE workout

I used to be a weightlifter, and everyone is wrong. That's actually a power jerk, and a very impressive one.

awesome stuff as usual

Thanks for making some great videos. Very good information and funny.

Another day, another PR for Brian :-) Awesome lift man!

You did pushpre$$e$ and overhead pre$$e$. Strong strict-reps perfectly done. You strong as fuck man. Totally badasss underrated lifts.

i vant even feaflift 390 - great work Brian!

the bamboo lift looks fun as hell also the santa bit was hysterical!

Awesome info Brian.

It's a split jerk ;) It's not a pretty one but it's definitely not a push press because you dip to catch. It's also not a push jerk because your stance changes to a split stance. I'd recommend hitting these different lifts (with lighter weight to start) specifically to notice their differences and learn each of them better. I gave your video a like because your accessory exercises are actually good and you explain stuff simply for those who aren't personal trainers :D

My squat PR is 395... this is insane. Killer job dude. Strict OHP at 300 is also way outside of what I can even imagine. What are your thoughts on the Z Press? Kalle Beck recommends them very highly for increasing OHP max. Have you used them at all in your training?

That ask Santa bit just killed me. My core is too sore for jokes man.

that awkward moment when he got more than my deadlift pr over his head...

Awesome video as always Brian! Thanks for the assistance movements they're awesome! I tried the overhead walk movement the other day.. my gym doesn't have a yoke so I used the kettle bells instead. It is crazy hard but I felt great afterwards!Also, wondering if some point in the future you could do a video about some assistance workouts for the front squat! Lately I've been playing around with the overhead squat. I know, it's more of a Oly movement than a strongman movement, but it feels good lol. And I'll confess, but this is embarrassing: my 1rm for front squat is well over 250lbs... yet my overhead squat hovers around a measly 100lbs... less than half my front squat!! :(

Found you through Omar, appreciated your content: subbed.

looks like I need to get back at my front squat.

Killer work Brian 😲💪🏼

Assistance movements: Yoke Waiter's Walk OR DB Waiter's Walk Band Overhead Press Bamboo Overhead Press Front Squat

Must be about a 270 strict press equivalent, sick stuff man

That's just a split jerk done with an axle. the thing you're referring to as push jerk is also called a power jerk or a squat jerk. It wouldn't be called that because that's done like a squat where your legs don't move across each other.

watched a few of your videos now just one question... how the hell do you not have alot more subscribers lol great content and overall knowledge

Dammit man! Now I need to hold a reindeer hostage till Santa gets me a yoke. Great PR brother!

Hey Brian. How would you explain the benefit/carryover of a thick bar press for one's strict oh press? Are there carry overs, or is the use of the thick bar a more sport specific thing for strongman?

Beast mode!!! Good job!

Big fan of banded overhead press. It can be humbling. haha Great video congrats on the PR.

subscribed 30 sec in the video... great personality. no alpha male bullshit.. great content.. thanks for the inspiration

subscribed. thanks for the tips!

Hay man that's incredible so cool

y o brian hope your rehabing and everything moving along nicely

wow that was all some thanks and God Bless You

Pushjerk? LOL. and...what he was trying to say was, "don't be a jerk" Always good advice. Klokov did strict 160 kg, which was very impressive, especially for his bodyweight.

you pressed my deadlift O_O........ impressive!

You, sir, are a beast.

Awesome video! That santa bit was hilarious. Strict Overhead press is probably my favorite lift because you just get to feel super powerful. I'm still working on adding leg drive, that's not synced up yet. do you ever use wrist support for overhead press? I've noticed my wrists will be unhappy if I do higher volume with it (5x10 usually)

Awesome , Thanks !

The Waiter Walks are killer...I love it!

Hey Brian, could you make a video on how to be safe about dismounting weight. I am kind of nervous about pressing a lot over head because I fear it will fall backwards or come down and smash my head into my body.

overhead press is much much more impressive than bench press
