Barney St Anton Strict Press Challenge - Get Fit Over 40 Entry

I saw some of the other Fitness folks here on YouTube getting in on the Barney St Anton Strict Press Challenge and so I thought I would give it a go, the cutoff is today I think so trying to get ti in on the wire...

The challenge is pretty simple and there is nothing to be gained other than bragging rights but these challenges are all in good fun and help to unite the Online Fitness Community and introduce everyone to other new people they may never have run into.

Here are the basic rules:

  • Weight yourself and use half your body weight as your overhead press weight.
  • Do a full shoulder press, touching the top of your chest a the bottom and a full lockout on the top preferably with a pause.
  • No more than 5 seconds between reps.
  • No use of legs to gain drive, so no push.
  • See how many reps you can do before failure :)

I did 23 reps (was trying for 25), not bad for an old guy! Thanks Barney St Anton for putting on this Strict Press Challenge and a big shout out to everyone that got their entry videos in!
