Do you do Klokov Press

[J-dub]

Just wondering how many of you guys are doing Klokov Press and what kind of numbers people are putting up? It's a pretty humbling lift for me I have a little goal of hitting 225lb on it, Its a new new movement for me but I like it.

Did Klokov Presses in the past. Another Oly assisting lift you may want to try are Bradford Presses.

Klokov and Bradford preses are both great ~ and both tough.

I'd be embarrassed to write my numbers up lol.

I haven't done Bradford presses I'll give them a try, they look pretty hard as well.

Be sure to work on your shoulder mobility since you're gonna be doing these.

Broomstick rotations (wide hand placement, transferring from in front of hips to behind your back). Doing these will help, start off with a smaller ROM than that if you haven't done them before though.

Awesome, thank you for the tips!

Those are great and a staple in my prehab routine. Wall angels are also good.

BI I just googled them and tried them in the living room, wow thats ridiculous how well that works. On video it looked like there was nothing to it. These are going in the routine for sure! I'm always in need on prehab tips. I'm glad I found a forum you are on again brother!

They are, be prepared to clip the back of your head with the bar the first few times you try them lol.

These and Savickas presses have done pretty well for me..... but I rarely use much weight in these.

As a powerlifter I am looking to keep my shoulders healthy for benching, and not really trying to build my overhead press.

I've pushed 365 overhead for a strict press, 225 tops for Savickas and 135 for Klokov. Usually it's lighter than that though.

Today was overhead. I did both presses with the bar and wall angels during my warm up today then did my press work and went back to Klokov's for sets of ten with medium weight. Shoulders felt great throughout.
