Thanks for this great article. The rotating of arms at lockout and the bent wrists were nice to hear (I’ve gotten flack for that!).

Push pressing 5×5 really heavy is a great heart pounding workout. At first I loved strict presses but the extra weight overhead and the legdrive make pushpressing superior to me. I’m 92kg and I’ve only ever pushpressed 85kg. Hoping to push press my bodyweight for 5 as I am really focusing on it.

The push press has always been my favorite exercise and I have not been able to find an article that connects as many dots as this one does. I’ve played with numerous ideas for the past ten years in developing a barbell and strongman style push press and the explanation of ISA is something I have never heard of, but it makes so much sense. Thank you again and again.

Hola Antonio, gracias por su comentario. El cuerpo no es una simple máquina, por lo que necesitamos un mejor modelo de comprensión. Me alegro que usted disfrutó leer el artículo 🙂

Espero poder seguir leyendo este tipo de lectura.

You’re welcome Philipp. Generally, a wide ISA is built more like a stocky powerlifter while a narrow ISA is taller and narrower like a strongman. Measuring the ISA is the best way to know for sure. That said: Ai Yunan and Li Wenwen have a wide ISA. Lu Xiaojun appears narrow.

I found the information on the ISA very interesting. I would like to ask whether you could give us a few examples of wide/narrow ISA in Chinese weightlifters to see how this plays out in practise. Looking at them, I would guess Shi could be considered “wide”?
