ЖЕЛЕЗНЫЙ ЛИКБЕЗ. “ЖИМ БРЭДФОРДА“. The original BRADFORD PRESS.

The Art of Weightlifting – The Press by Bob Hoffman (1958). How to do this Bradford specialty exercise? A weight of about 90% of your regular press is brought to the shoulders. With very little help from the legs it is pushed up to the top of the head and slowly lowered to the shoulders behind the neck. Then with very little help from the legs it is pushed to the top of the head, brought front and lowered to the upper chest. The movement is continuous and is practiced from 5 to 7 repetitions. This exercise is a terrific deltoid developer and since this muscle is more important than any other in overhead pressing, the ambitious lifter will be wise to spend part of his training time on the Bradford Press.
