Coaching Notes, Strategy, and Goals
% Strict Press
Goal: Consistent, Strong Reps with good speed on the barbell.
Stimulus: Absolute Strength
RPE: 8/10 Strength Test, but overall effect on the body is low due to weight that can be lifted
Key focus areas:
Root through the floor and think about pulling the barbell into the body then pressing on the rep in order to still gain an advantage in the stretch reflex.
Modifications:
We can move to a landmine press or dual dumbbell strict press as a modification for the strict press today.
Possibly add some reps and just keep loads moderate to work on form.
