Welcome to another deep dive. Today is upper pressing for dummies with Taylor Self, the best

upper presser in the world. Okay, you look shocked at that claim to fame. I've heard you say

very good things about yourself with upper pressing. Maybe not the bests in the world.

I would say for someone who's 200 pounds and not 5'3, I'm very good.

But I wouldn't say, you know, I don't have the benefit of the short stature, you know, limb length, like some athletes who are very good.

But I'm pretty good.

You're going to start the show with a clip like JR from last week where everybody needs to lose five pounds to get better at upper pressing.

Or I would say that's far more dependent on pulling.

Okay.

And upper body pressing less so because the range of motion typically is so much shorter.

There's really only one exercise where the range of motion is similar to a strict pullup,

and that's deficit strict handshand pushups.

So that's like really the only one.

Regular strict hands and pushups, not even an argument.

The range of motion is crazy short.

Wall facing range of motion is crazy short. And then that's really, you know, ring dip is less range of motion is crazy short um and then that's really you know ring dip is less range of motion

than a strict pull up like there's a lot of pushups less range of motion than a strict pull up you're just

not traveling as much distance so i think for something like strict pullups or legless rope climbs

like you're really having to move your body a long distance,

whereas a strict handstand pushup, imagine a strict handsand pushup rep versus a legless rope climb.

Like it's, you can't really compare it to you because one is so cheap and one's so expensive.

But if you're someone like Laura Horvath, who is a much bigger female athlete, whenever
