Anyone ever do seated barbell overhead press off pins?
First time doing it today, sat pins just above my chest and sat up tall, only used 135, didn’t feel that bad but harder than standing I think

dead press! Yes, I have. I hate OHP in general (long arm whiny problems) but I actually prefer OHP dead press off pins more than regular standing barbell OHP.
I’ve got long arms also (I’m 6’5) but yeah I loved how it felt. Didn’t know it was called dead press, I’ll use that when I log.
try benching off pins that way (or deadlifting). nice way to move the starting spot to work on sticking points.
More trade secrets, @pretzel__logic …TIA.
I do what my trainer calls Drag Press. Who knows if that’s a real thing, but it is an overhead press, standing, where then bar starts on the rack nose height and you go straight up, dragging the bar against the arms of the rack.
Core tight, little bit of stress on lower back, hammies - but crushes shoulders.

Kook, that sounds NASTY. I want to try it. haha. I've done something sort of similar where you put a barbell on pins and secure it with bands, then do a seated row motion dragging the bar on the pins against the bands. It is deceptively difficult (also a pain to set up) but really forces you to focus on lat activation.
