Overhead Press

Nik not to hijack the thread, but this topic came up another way in a different thread. The topic was does bench press impact the CNS enough that you need to consider it when programming a Hi/Low type system. Most posters said emphatically no, there is no impact. In other words, you could in fact bench on a Low day as it does not impact the CNS much if any. If the bench press does not impact the CNS, how can it provide a significant stimulus? I think it does impact the CNS, by the way.

It might not impact the CNS if it’s done in a bodybuilding type of way, but if you’re doing sets of 3-5 with 300-400 pounds, I would think that it would. Do you know which thread it was?
