is there a reason why you pause so long at the top of the first rep each time?

yeah, sometimes i was taking a breath at the top (so i would hold it up there while i was breathing)
some i would breathe at the bottom
hence, i have no idea what im doing lol
I think i like breathing at the top tho...even tho i think thats wrong. I feel like i get a better breath
and when i breath at the bottom i drop the bar too far (below my chin) i just want my ROM to be from chin to lockout.
I used to do clavicle to lockout but it just kinda messes with my shouldersLog

Breathing for OHP is exactly the same as breathing for the bench press. I breathe at the top. If I can, I hold my breath for the first rep or 2 so I dont lose tightness. Although that method works best for singles.
Tuck your lats hard as fuk, and pull yourself under the bar, dont just nonchalantly unrack it.
Remember to squeeze your ass hard as fuk. For the most part your OHP looks pretty good though.
Also thumbless grip is GOAT for OHP srs.Squat: 515x1

just like any movement, you will get better at it with more practice. Keep doing OHP and it will come easy to you. One thing you should do is work on squeezing the glutes a bit more and "shrugging" the bar over the top of your head. Get those elbows under the bar and try to squeeze them together as you lockout the movement. Also, work on that t-spine and shoulder mobility. I know it is a lot of reading but check out this entire article by Eric Cressey when you have the chance. It is sheer gold and ensures healthy shoulders and long term progression.

Moreover, I toyed around with incline bench press and it felt hnnggg compared to DB's for me. Did not realize that my left pec is significantly weaker than the right and by utilizing DB's I actually worsened the imbalance. Do you know how to lower the incline on incline BB work when the bench is already set at a pre-existing angle?
How much pressingulling do you do?Been playing with shafts and balls since '75.

Yeah i always hold my breath through every rep i do no matter the exercise. probably why i pop blood vessels occasionally tho
good to know! ill breathe at the top and not feel bad about it! lol
yeah i was squeezing my ass hard. if i dont i lean back far as hell like an incline bench press and it kills my back
i saw alacrity said thumbless on ohp is hngg so ill be doing it that way
i believe i was tucking my lats as well
just gonna have to keep hammering the movement. itll get strongerLog

bruh i was squeezing my ass cheeks like someone was trying to penetrate lol
whatcha mean shrug the bar?
yeah my tspine and shoulder and lats and chit are all tight which is prob why i cant do an overhead squat. my arms fall forward over my body
dumbbells should have helped equal that imbalance out... and you should have notice it on dumbbells more than barbell lol
you could just set up a mobile bench (the ones you do dumbbells on) in the squat rack.... lol
what kind of comparison you looking for? total volume?
total volume of pressing vs total volume of pulling ?Log

I swear, the last three times I've seen you post outside of my log, you've talked about squeezing your a**-cheeks together, Hostel.
F***ing lol, man.
Also, totally disagree with that DL Form video you posted. I'd say form is the most important on Deadlift compared to any other lift. But I know we're on the same page with that lol

Bruh, you gotta fend off those *******s trying to penetrate!
Yeah, i love pete and i seriously admire him but i just didnt agree with him on that video
sure some people WAY over analyze their form and thats bad. but for the most part i think its very important to not have chit form on any exercise especially the deadlift
most people arent genetic freaks like pete and on crazy amounts of apple juice either so hes an outlierLog

1. So once the bar gets about forehead high, "shrug" it to the top. Like, literally squeeze your traps and shoot your head through.
2. Ya I was wondering how much more you pull than push. haha
Totally agree with your disagreement (wot) with that video. I do not think Pete should have posted it TBH. I can just imagine a million young YOLOs hitting the gym tomorrow and deadlifting 100 pounds over their usual max cuz Pete said they could DL with lumbar rounding smh.
Hostel never squeezes the glutes and is penetrated daily. That's why we always gotta remind him. srs.
Last part is what hit the nail on the head. He is drinking a lot of capri sun and has awesome genetics, so a lot of rules don't apply to him like they would a young, natty trainee.
Also, I do belive that there is a difference in training a deadlift for strength versus hypertrophy. The former allows upper back rounding and form breakdown and moving the weight from point A to point B, whereas the latter matters perfect posture, blades tucked into back pockets, etc. all while maintaining tension and MMC (gasp I said it) in the lats/upper back/glutes/hammies.Been playing with shafts and balls since '75.

shooting the head through was a much better cue
yeah ive seen that video. ogus's ohp is fuking mindblowing
disagree with there being strength vs hypertrophy deadlift
reading the cressey article now
i do like 20-30 sets of pulling to like 20 ish sets of pushing i think

u wot m8?
Upper back rounding is a matter of leverages and preferences. Your MMC argument should be happening whether consciously or not regardless of your reasoning for deadlifting. Best believe I'm well aware of when my glutes need to fire, where the tension is strongest in my hammies etc. etc.Squat: 515x1

My reasoning behind my hypertrophy versus strength statement is that someone doing a deadlift with sub-maximal weight and tight upper back (meaning completely flat) will probably see better development faster in the back when compared to someone utilizing thoracic rounding. They won't be moving the most weight as possible, but by maintaining constant tension in the upper back (by keeping it straight and flexed) it is recruiting more of the muscle fibers as opposed to someone rounding their backs and pulling more weight.
In the long term, it probably doesn't matter since one doesn't deadlift as the only mvement for back development. Thus, I cannot prove my point.Been playing with shafts and balls since '75.

lmao yeah usually if there is pain there is something going on
but even if there isnt pain you could still be going full potato and not even know it
wanna hear something funny? my brother told me when i first started lifting that hyperextending at the top of the deadlift would utilize your back muscles more lmao.Log
