"And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." - Romans 12:2 Side Presses have always been to me the Training Wheels of the Bent Press. Great coaches such as Mark Berry, Olympic Weightlifting U.S. Team Coach at the 32' & 36' Olympics strongly recommended Side Presses for building the mobility for the Bent Press.  Once l could Bent Press  reasonably well, l ASSUMED Side Presses, specifically with a barbell were 'unnecessary' though l would insert Waiter's Style occasionally thinking l was fine, not realizing there was a reason why the barbell version was soooo much harder. This is why l'm struggling with a 60lb(27⅓kg) barbell vs. solidly using a 75lb plate or dumbbell. Now, as you know, my Bent Presses are doing great, but knowing some of the Olde Timers could Barbell Side Press BODYWEIGHT, l think l should be putting up 100lb on this lift sooooo here we are. Time to get busy. God Bless.  #jesussaves  #oldtimestrongman #sidepress #hipmobility
