Glenn Pendlay Q&A

April 1, 2012 By Gregor Winter

Glenn Pendlay did a Q&A session on his ustream and gave away some good advice.

Topics:

[00:20] high blocks do more reps with higher weight, use them once or twice a week

[03:30] doing push presses for bigger overhead presses, press 3 times a week with a variety of exercises

[06:45] front rack position partner stretch

[14:20] Adam Hall describes how he built the pulling blocks that Glenn likes so much.

[18:50] Arm wrestling & how weak Jon North is 🙂

[22:00] Working through tendonitis if you can. If not decrease snatches, pulls…

[27:00] beginner programs should be general guidlines, longer training = more individualization

[31:10] on John Broz training methods

[37:30] state of US lifting in the global scope

[41:30] training weight 5% over weight class

[48:30] Is doping that big of an issue? Glenn thinks so.

[56:20] Zygmunt Smalcerz hates fat people

    At first glance I thought that was Cmdr Riker from the Enterprise!

    But yeah, I can say from personal experience that push presses does help with overhead presses even at a frequency of once every 2 weeks.

      lol @ “Cmdr Riker”.

      I have had similar experiences with push presses. On my 5/3/1 BBB Press days I will add push presses after my last 531 set. Or even push rpesses for the 5×10.

      But yeah, no miracles here. The press is progressing very slowly for me.

    I thought they dropped the press from weightlifting in 1972. Why is anyone still doing them?

      Some people find it useful as an assistance exercise. Other people just like having a big press.
