Why the Strict Press Humbles Everyone—And Why You Need It

Why the Strict Press Humbles Everyone—And Why You Need It

Let’s be honest: the strict press hurts your feelings. It’s one of the most frustrating lifts in the LIFTED Strength Lab—and that’s exactly why it stays in the rotation. No bounce, no momentum, no leg drive to save you. Just you, the barbell, and gravity doing its job.

The strict press (aka overhead press) is a raw test of upper body strength—and for most people, it’s the lift that exposes the gaps. Want to build real strength? Start here.

TRAINER TIP: Why EMOMs Hit Different at LIFTED

TRAINER TIP: Why EMOMs Hit Different at LIFTED

Let’s talk EMOMs. That’s Every Minute On the Minute—and no, it’s not just some fitness buzzword. It’s one of the most effective, no-BS training tools we use in the Strength Lab.

Here’s how it works: you’re assigned a task—say, 10 squats or burpees—and you start at the top of every minute. Finish early? You earn rest. Drag your feet? The clock eats you alive. It’s simple. Brutal. Beautiful.

At LIFTED, we don’t use EMOMs because they’re trendy. We use them because they deliver. Every. Damn. Time.

“Grip Strength = Real-Life Power”

“Grip Strength = Real-Life Power”

This one’s not just about hands — it’s about connection. The way you grab that bar, the way you own the weight, the way you hold on when it gets heavy. Grip is the gateway. And when it fails? The rest follows.

Progress Isn’t Always a Heavier Bar

Let’s get one thing straight: chasing your 1-rep max every week is not the flex you think it is.

We tested your max at the start of summer for a reason—so we can train smart beneath it. Not because we’re afraid to go heavy, but because we know the real gains come from putting in the work under the ceiling, not constantly trying to punch through it.

Train Your Core — Without Endless Sit-Ups

When most people think of "core training," they picture high-rep sit-ups, crunches, and bicycle kicks. While those exercises can have their place, they only scratch the surface when it comes to truly developing a strong, stable, and functional core.
