Here’s an exercise you may not have seen before: the seated one-arm thick-bar javelin press. In the video below, I’m using an Apollon’s Axle.
I picked up the movement from Stéphane Cazeault of KILO Strength Society. Stéphane performs it standing in a staggered stance, but if you don’t have enough height in your power cage, the seated version works just as well—and offers a unique challenge by eliminating leg drive.
Don’t be fooled by how it looks—this exercise is tougher than it seems! Start with an empty bar and gradually work your way up.
In the video, I’m using a 4-1-X-1 tempo for 4 sets of 6–8 reps. Give it a shot!
