Overhead Lifting Mayhem
I have a SERIOUS passion for all types of lifting, but, I especially LOVE throwing weights overhead, ALL types of weights. Remember, I’m a SOUL Lifter, rules need NOT apply.
Check out this medley of overhead lifting in the Underground Video Below…..
There are certain lifts that are just a sure fire way for packing on muscle and developing Brute Strength.
Lifting weights overhead via the press, snatch, clean & press and even THROWING weights overhead will get the job done. Some of the objects were lighter and some of them were heavier.
If you’re a beginner I suggest you only hit one overhead lift but if you’re more advanced and have spent plenty of time under the bar, go ahead, see what it’s like to be a BEAST and lift like a SOUL Lifter.
Time for me to get back to WORK!
The Kick Ass & Take Names Project is on the way Boys & Girls….. The world will NEVER be the same.
Lead from the FRONT!

Zach,
Cool vid; single arm press on the stone was crazy! I was watching like …”oh sh*t, here we go, Zach is on a rampage!” I guess the moment just grabbed you and that’s what you felt like doing – cool!
I do have a question though – with overhead lifting, especially heavy lifting, would you couple lower back strengthening with it? (exercises like supermans, reverse hyperextensions, hyperextensions or even deadlifts?)
Keep up the hustle!

Yo Zach! Whats up? I LOVE overhead lifting & ALL the other stuff like throwing etc. etc. I’m a AVID fan of the Kettlebell lifts overhead, Espacially the SNatch! TOO BAD NowaDays overhead lifting & It’s variations sleeps with the fishes! Anwyay, My 2 questions are these: What are the names of the 2 songs you’v put in this video? The one that your training on & the other one at the end?

Hey Zach, I like this “soul-lifting” concept, it really frees me up to just work and not think too much about what I’m doing. Here’s my morning session, just completed: Sandbag Squats, 120lbs, 10×5 sets; Walking Lunges holding a gravel bag 45lbs, down and up my driveway, 35 steps each way, on a hill, 3 sets; 50 pushups on my kettlebell handles; finished off with farmer walk, 35 k-bells each hand for a mile, downhill and back from my kids school. I can barely type now. Took your good advice and don’t sit or bend over to rest. Killer… keep up the good work.

Big Chris Reed – sometimes I add deads to an OH workout, AFTER the OH work is done.
I did 45 degree weighted back XTs after this workout
when going overhead we end up hyperextending a bit so I always hit a hard ab workout after these days
Gotta be healthy bruddah!

Zach,
Thanks for the insight! Doing lower ab strengthening after an overhead day makes perfect sense especially given the extension and strain your lower back is under while pressing as you point out in your reply!
Gonna be making a road trip down to Jersey in July Bro for the Strongman at Joe D’s! Can you hit me up on my e-mail would love to swing by the Underground and hit off a workout at the Underground with my Empire Crew – but, I know your time is money and I want to sort it all out before we come!

Love the shoulder workout. Really like the variation in tools used especially the rock. Way to crush it. Keep leading from the front!!! You are a true inspiration to the garage gym’rs and backyard animals.

Plenty of new tools for the arsenal! I’m going straight home from work and going to implement some of theses.
Thanks,
Slater
