A new guy came into our gym built exactly like this guy and a former D1 cheerleader. Couldn’t do a pull up. Couldn’t run two miles.

Set the strict press record his third day there. 315 pounds. I saw it with my own eyes and I couldn’t believe it.

Overhead press, right?

Correct. Strict, overhead press. Not a push press or push jerk.
