The Death Press!

[Glenwils]

What you think of this excersise? Me and Rakim think we made it up. We do it all the time now, i ache all over after a few heavy sets.

is that your or rakim doing it

[Glenwils]

It's me, can't you tell by the man boobs?

[JMonster]

hmmm. interesting. it's pretty much the same as an inclined or declined bench press though. can't determine which one

[znaak]

Looks like a great exercise, but doesn't it kill your back?

[Glenwils]

Na it's ok on your back actually. I do tabata(sp) sets, so 20 seconds if fast reps, 10 seconds rest. The most sets I've done like that is 5. After that I'm totally fucked. It is kinda like ab inclined press but it hammers your legs too. After doing a few sets you can really feel of on your calfs.

[MrSmall]

that is kind of like the viking press.
look it up, it's a machine standing press basically.

[Ajfourty7]

Why not just do clean jerk and press?

[Glenwils]

Yeah we do clean and jerk press but it doesn't rape us like the death press. The max I've done is 40kg:

Get a job as a furniture mover, you can invent new lifts every day ;)

Haha well I'd try it but they'd kick me out of the gym lol

Looks similar to "thrusters" done with dumbbells. And yes, they are a killer exercise.

[Rakim]

The death press was alright Glen, but I'd say it was the camera work that made that clip look so alive.

It's a bit like clean and jerk, only controlled and safer. Either way it fucks you up, I do 3 sets of 10 with 20kg on the slider. You can also adjust the muscles you work, if you put your feet further back you can get a full shoulder press in, or you can move in a step and go lower on the squat part.

nothing beats the good old olympic movements and basic powerlifting movements, so while it may be a decent exercise you invented, there is really no need to invent new things

I wish every human that ever lived had the same attitude as you. At least that way there wouldn't have been a keyboard around for you to type that shit up on.

[Jennifer Love Hewitt]

Now that was funny!

[Drofrah]

I think ill give that a run out later, could do with a bit of variation

He actually does know what he's talking about, him being a professional boxer at a rather high level and all.

Bollocks (unless you're being sarcastic, in which case I apologise). Of course olympic lifts and stuff like deadlifts and squats are the best compound exercises about, everyone knows that. But how can you say that 'there's no need to invent new things'?! If everyone lived like that then powerlifting itself wouldn't even be around.

Another massively important part of any weightlifting schedule is variation and this is a highly flexible, safe, compound exercise to mix things up a bit.
