I agree that he does seem to be a good learner which makes it all the more perplexing that he continues to make this type of video consistently. Check out his Hybrid Pullup form video from over a year ago. He asks why people still discourage thoracic rounding and scapular protraction at the top of pull-ups/chin-ups even though these are techniques that help maximize 1rm performance. He is one of the most popular calisthenics channels inclusing Calisthenic Movement. I think he knows exactly why people continue to discourage these techniques. Now, I understand that minds change, but he then eventually continues to post videos where he discourages people from performing pullups that way without much context. It's just incredibly inconsistent and I'd say intellectually lazy and dishonest. Although, I understand that the industry does incentivize that quite a bit. I'd prefer if those who were capable of refraining from creating this type of content to get by financially do choose to just focus on creatong more helpful content.

The reason why standing OHP is a good exercise is because it puts stress on your legs and core stabilizers for balance. This means that you can skip leg day after standing OHP (just joking, LOL). The calisthenics guy thinks that body building is only about muscle growth, but he ignores the component of increasing the bone density. Standing OHP is generally ignored in the bodybuilding community, but this exercise is best done with dumbbells.

"If someone succeeds in provoking, you do realize that your mind is complicit in the provocation?"

I do not agree that the z press is a "superior hypertrophy exercise" for anybody, regardless of goals or experience level. So your argument does not hold up here. Every variation I showed myself doing in this video I javelin done for set of 1, 3, 5, 8, and 10+ reps. The fact that I mostly put heavy singles in the video is not relevant.
@fluffyscruffy Жыл бұрын
@@EnkiriEliteYou do not agree, fine it's your opinion. What is the goal here? Feeling exertion in the targeted muscle and creating an adaptation response? or moving as much as weight as possible using body english? Heavy singles are not for hypertrophy, regardless of the exercise. I think that if you fall over during a z press, then the load is too heavy, and hypertrophy doesn't care of the load. It's the exact same thing with the Larsen press: take out leg drive and increase instability so the targeted muscles work harder. It is humbling, and you will reduce the load. Would you dismiss the Larsen press in the same fashion because you can push a heavier load on the bench press? Lol what you show in your video is absolutely relevant, it is your visual support for your argument. The genesis of your video is based off of that, had your image not been used in the first place by someone else.

That really is a shame man that your clips got taken out of context like that. Very bizarre he chose your clips out everything he could have used available on the internet in terms of ego lifts on OHP. Even if your push press clips were ego lifts, the pure appearance of your form (outside of the leg drive to those who don’t understand it) doesn’t even look bad. Therefore it shouldn’t even look like that much of an ego lift. I realize saying that is weird because we know it’s not an ego lift to begin with. But that’s what’s so baffling as it comes to why he used it in the first place. The overall press still looks clean and stable. You’d imagine he would have rather used a clip that involved someone who used sloppy leg drive and then didn’t even complete the press of the pattern smoothly or properly to begin with. That’s very strange. But as you’ve done in the past, you yet again give a sound and respectable response to back yourself up. I applaud the maturity on the platform considering what your channels been through. Good stuff as always man. Much support! Addition: In my experience, occasionally utilizing some leg drive in even conventional OHP has helped break some plateaus. Just to allow for a few extra solid eccentric reps for a given weight. So honestly, cheating the movement to do some extra reps I feel has it’s place for the exercise area (This being a technique for those who have enough practice with the movement)

Even assuming he was unaware of the push press potshot, I should hope he has colleagues around him that are marginally qualified to give lifting advice that wouldn’t be detrimental to his audience. In his defence though, I’m sure he recognizes that there’s value and suitable applications to both training modalities (hence his “Hybrid” program). This is likely more personal anecdote than anything else. But if the education just isn’t there, you should probably just stay in your lane. Just because you have a strong opinion on an exercise doesn’t mean you should tell people to blindly dismiss it when you clearly don’t understand it or know how to perform correctly.

Yeah this video was a miss from him. Instead of a z press (if i am not allowed to do a standing one) i would do a sitting one on a bench

This was extremely unfair of him to paint you as someone who doesn't know what he's doing. I hope he's since reached out but going on your latest push press video I don't think that's happened. Very disappointed in FitnessFAQ. When the bigger channel mess up they have an obligation to correct things and say they made a mistake. Then again, maybe it's because they're bigger they won't a la Athlean X. Very very disappointing.

No sir, never heard him from him. A Simple "whoops my bad" would have gone a very long way. Rubs me the wrong way when people think they know everything about a topic but it turns out they don't even know what the hell they're looking at/critiquing.

@@EnkiriElite that's unfortunate. I did search for the video on KZfaq and I think I found it, you're not in it. I know you're talking about the one from Instagram. I'm wondering if he's removed that part for KZfaq. That's something. Either that or I'm missing something.

Just felt like it came out of left field. And not even trying to be a dick, but from a dude who's overhead press is kind of weak.

I gotta get my mobility up. I am wanting to add front squats and push press to my workouts. I just can't seem to get it though 😞 I kind of miss the argument videos tbh.

Can the Push Press still build muscle if I substitute that for the strict press for a couple months. Also, if ai focus on that, will I loose strength on the strict press?

It can absolutely be used to build muscle, overhead strength, stability and mobility. Your strict ohp will likely not go down(significantly, anyway) because you will be used to handling heavier loads. However, keeping some strict ohp in your program, wheter it is by using a barbell/dumbbells, is smart, in my opinion, because you will mitigate the risk of having some specific strength decay.
