Heel sterke Overhead presses Huggy!
Sterke beer.
Thnx, maar het valt wel reuze mee...zo'n wereldprestatie was het nu ook weer niet
Ik heb me nog wat meer bezig gehouden met de press, of eigenlijk "Clean & Press" zoals de officiële benaming is...hieronder een leuk artikel...het geeft tevens een antwoord waarom men vroeger raw minder deed bankdrukken dan tegenwoordig. De Press was vroeger de standaardoefening om kracht mee ten uitdrukking te brengen...Bankdrukken werd tot de jaren `50 nauwelijks beoefend, en was tot de jaren `70 niet echt populair...de vraag was destijds niet: hoeveel kun jij bank-drukken, maar hoeveel kun jij staand- drukken?
The Barbell Clean & Press
-- A Forgotten Exercise --
Many decades ago before the bench press became popular, the Olympic clean & press overhead (often just referred to as the “Press”) was the standard exercise for the strength world.
The bench press wasn’t practiced until the 1950’s and didn’t become really popular until the 1970’s. Today they ask you, “How much can you bench?”. Years ago the question was, “How much can you press?”.
The Olympic clean & press overhead was recognized as one of three standard international lifts (the other two are the snatch and the clean & jerk) that was performed in competitions. For quite a few years this lift was performed in a meritorious style (erect stance, nearer shoulder width grip, and elbows consciously held in.
Barbell Clean & Press
Stand over the barbell as if you were going to do a deadlift. Squat down and grasp the bar with a shoulder width grip. Using your legs, explode the bar off the floor. When the barbell passes your knees, push in with your hips. Start to pull the barbell up with your back. This action will bring the bar into contact with your legs at mid-thigh. At the moment of contact, accelerate the bar upward with your legs and back until your body reaches a full extension. At full extension rise up on your toes and shrug your shoulders. This movement puts maximum momentum into the barbell, allowing it to continue to rise while you drop under it. Bend your elbows, pulling the bar up with your arms as you jump your feet out to the sides. Descend into a half squat as quickly as possible. With the bar moving up and your body moving down, twirl your elbows under it. The barbell should come to rest on your anterior deltoids and clavicle bones on or before your thighs become parallel to the floor. Keeping your back muscles tight, stand upright with the bar. Then contract your shoulder muscles and explode the barbell to a locked-out position overhead. Keep your back upright and try not to bend more then 45 degrees away from midline as you press the bar. Hold the bar overhead momentarily and then slowly bring it back down.
Then an odd development begin to manifest itself through a liberalization of the rules, due in part to the influence of the Russian and Asiatic lifters. It got to a point where many of the officials were not able to keep to a strict interpretation of the rules governing this lift and gradually the rules became so lenient that the press was often called the "odd ball" lift.
It was a joke to see a lifter pressing nearly as much or more as he could jerk overhead, an example being in a 1972 competition where the great Soviet Olympic lifter Vasiily Alexeev "pressed" 518 pounds but only clean & jerked 507 pounds. Judging the Olympic clean & press overhead continued to become such a monumental problem (obvious slumped upper body/hyper-extended back, knee-kicks, and sudden jolts in the starting drive of the press) that it was finally abolished as one of the official international lifts in the early 1970s.
During its hey day as one of three standard tests of combined strength and athletic ability in weight lifting the Olympic clean & press was the most basic of all exercises, especially for the development of the shoulders. Sadly though because of its abolishment the Olympic clean & press (along with the Continental and Military press) quickly faded in popularity and became an almost forgotten exercise for Olympic style-lifters, power-bodybuilders, powerlifters and strength athletes alike. However as time has gone on many of these iron game veterans have began to S-L-O-W-L-Y return to a more isolated and traditional form of the clean & press, from decades past, as a core exercise of choice for the development of a strong overhead kinetic structural support accompanied with HUGE deltoids and traps.
