"total body press" - sick machine for functional power/football training

[Biggerp73]

I know most of us are focused on pure hypertrophy training but I bet a lot of you will appreciate this. Never seen it before. Looks like a perfect exercise for football players, especially lineman.

U should have used the angryhippo username on here to bro

Its catchy

Wow that's one hell of a machine that seems to be a combo of a row and a leg press. Watching that clip made me wish my gym had that one!

Angry Hippo...that's a cool-ass nick

 

[TrippplePPP]

That just looks fun. I would feel kind of goofy using it in front of people though.

It reminds me of a machine at my high school and college gyms that you could do a very similar motion standing. Its kind of hard to describe but you could use the standing one with both arms and legs or switch which arm, leg or one side you want to mix it up with.

Looks like a monkey trying to fuck a football on ice.

I’ve seen that standing version, which seems a lot more intuitive and useful imo. But I’m far from an athletic trainer.

Hammer Strength makes or used to make a line of what they called ‘ground based’ exercise equipment.

Oh, the old horizontal push press.

Why not just take a barbell and do the normal standing version.
Oh wait
Obviously the shoulders will be able to handle a lot less than the legs, and we want a full body exercise right?

Let’s bring some heavy dumbbells into the hack squat or leg press, do your rep with your legs and then push the weight.

Full body functional power brother

Widely reported that the Eagles had one in the weight room for the dline

I was gonna say yeah the shoulders would be the rate limiting factor but the idea to use dumbbells in a hack squat might work decently

Yep, every now and then you can still find pieces like the jammer (think a standing HS incline press) at gyms more aimed at athletic performance.

the jammer

I believe this is what I was thinking of

 

[USA11]

That’s great if you play football

 

[UnholyAlliance]

That ain't me motherfucker!

The resemblance is uncanny and the nick would fit perfectly for ya

lot of injuries coming in high school weight rooms with that

Seems pretty sports specific to me.

That's a great movement. Acts kinda similar to a push/press.
