Damn! I thought I was being optimistic when I said 20%, hardly anyone gets that much where I'm, but u one upped that.

U must hv been a key performer or some top kickass dude at work.

Great job!

congrats man. 20%?

what are u doin again? and hahahaha, wats the pay package like now if u dont mind my asking?

 

There is probably some truth to that assumption. But I would personally not recommend such an outlook on things. It won't hurt you much to include press, bench-press and chin-ups into your training. And with those three exercises and the minimal time/resource investment that comes with training them (even half-heartedly), you already cover all the bases.

Another thing is, that you often do not know which exercise you will later have to do to get those last inches. You might have a big squat and deadlift already, but you might profit from a bigger powersnatch to help utilizing your strength for explosive events. But if your shoulder strength is not up to par, you might not be able to stabilize big weights over head and practicing the powersnatch becomes much less effective - and therefore your VJ training.

So essentially, training your upper body as well

1) gives you training options you otherwise would not have
2) makes you a better athlete over all (think about throwing, blocking, hitting etc.) and
3) prevents power leaks in explosive events ("core strength").
