Pushpress /Snatch Challenge

Universal · 03-09-2007, 01:48 AM

Just wondering if any of you would be down for a Barbell pushpress or a one arm dumbell snatch challenge?
I'm doin well at both of these and really want to exel at em, but it's hard for me to really focus %100 on both of thse lifts simuletanously.
This way I don't have to break my head over which one I wanna focus on, and I get some extra motivation.
so who's down?

i like the sound of this challenge I was thinking not to bench what so ever for about 6-8 weeks and work on my push press and overhead press instead

I could use a little extra motivation, too. I'm down with the pushpress. Its my favorite lift to train, but ive neglected it recently in favor of my miserable bench press. I'd rather not learn to snatch.

What would the terms of the challenge, be? A 1rp max? Reps with a set weight? Reps blindfolded on a balance ball?

I don't know yet.
I alway pushpress behind the neck... so how about a 1 rep behind the neck pushpress?

Im down for a PushPress challenge.

Either 1 arm dmbl snatch or pushpress...but so far evryone seems to favor the pushpress...that's cool...either way.
So should we all do behind the neck or either which way?
I'm down for what ever works better for who ever.
I'll be doin mine behind the neck.

I agree with you and boxhead51 in we should allow both, behind and in front, pushpresses.

Sounds good to me. I think I'll try a pushpress from behind the neck, too, just to see the difference. Seems like it might be a bit awkward, but maybe easier to recruit leg drive. I'll see.
