I did 65 lbs/10 rep military press sets last Friday. I'm cleared to lift now, but I'm not going to rush it.

I just thought this was a standard lift, along with the likes of bench press etc. I have only seen one other person in my gym do it though which is weird.

Fer shizzle I just did 5 sets of 10 on 155. The secret is to squeeze your ass muscles. :obama:

it really is true. you read this from Pavel Tsatsouline? love how this actually works for a ton of different lifts

I think I read it in strong lifts

i think its essential advice. flexing my core and squeezing my cheeks made my deadlift progress from 225 to 260ish within 3 weeks when my back was recovering.
