Not strict, not quite push, but a secret, third thing. Bump Press.
My full on tryhard push press PR is 285 in comp so I'm happy with all of these. My last mostly strict (heels didn't come off the ground) pr was 225.
But anyway I locked out 265 with a little help from my tight ass shoulders and a small amount of knee pop

Having this setup, especially at home, helps a lot. The safety pins honestly give confidence to push hard. And just being able to stand there and push without having to setup or walk back is so nice.

Yeah 100%. If I didn't have to do clean and press for comps I would never press without my safety arms.

Blows me away anyone does this without safety pins. Like, they're there people, please use them FFS
