    Good question. That could describe a lot of things.

    What's a "nosebreaker"?

    Overheard press
    At least that's my guess
    Bend the knees a bit and use them to help push

    It's like a clean n jerk without the clean.

    What you're describing sounds like the military press.

    Military is rigid torso
    Push press you use your legs and get your head under/around the bar while straightening up then lock your elbows

    Like I said clean n jerk but no clean portioned

    Reverse tricep curl while lying down like you're going to bench press

    Nose breaker is a tricep exercise, similar to skull crushers. Lay on a bench, untracked the weight, bend your arms and bring the weight down to where it almost touches the bridge of the nose. If you mess up, it will break your nose. Skull crushers are similar except you bring the weight to the top of the skull.

    I wish I'd known you 25 years ago.

    I did a lot of leg work in high school. It was really the only thing in weight lifting class I could compare to the jocks with. Don't you dare lay down to do a bench press if you couldn't put up at least 2 45lb plates on either end of the bar. That was one of the fastest ways to become a pariah.

    Of course, now I look like this. :biggrin_25523:

    Sounds like you'd be one hell of an influence on the young. I hope you do it more often.

    I didn't know either; ... apparently a shoulder press but you get to use your legs for the push. You spring with your knees and use your legs as well. Man, you guys amaze me!
