tfw stalling progress on OHP


honestly prefer dumb bells for the movement

[Dammn]

Ohp is best for full body of you use variations of it, you feel alpha doing it and everyone in your gym is probably a bunch of bishes to scared coz they believe they will injure **** doing it.

[ace_gauntlit]

for me, it's the best pressing movement to put on mass.

because it the exercise that divides the sissies from the Alpha males

[OnedayHEHE]

same with deadlift, brb have not seen one shredded kent deadlift in my gym, its usually just the same 1-2 fatphucks who deadlift at my gym.

This.
Standing strict OHP is a great test of your push strength.

[rubinkazan]

Over head press is insane, fukken goat. Who's more alpha than the alpha who can ohp?

OHP training by definition, is always stalled progress, tiny increments

how much do you press atm?

do you Switch up rep ranges?

[bobbydigitaloa]

Becuz it's a very difficult lift for many people so progress is highly coveted.

[GoatNapper]

unaware of OHP crew....stick to oldfashion picking up weight, putting down weight crew

[Masterbetaa]

I've done 185 for 8 and got sick of the movement so decided to switch to seated dumbbells

[spicewood1990]

easily first big compound lift to stall and who doesnt find it impressive to see someone pressing multiple plates overhead

try switching up your rep scheme, go for something like 1-3 reps, then do a backoff set with light weight

did a single with 180 at 185 last week, always did them rather heavy

you know youve made it when arnie is mirin your shoulder strength 0:58

Because you can be phukking massive and still struggle with 135.

Also, it is the GOAT for shoulder mass, imo, and it even hits your traps a bit as well.

To people thinking about starting this: do not do too much weight, do not allow your form to break down too much. It is very easy to hurt yourself doing standing ohp, srs.

[John4789]

Pretty much the ultimate test of strength. A heavy OHP will always be more impressive than any weight of bench press.

Big Z has the strongest shoulders I've ever seen.

[glossin]

I like it, my shoulders got better doing it. However I'm much stronger at OHP compared to my bench press which is poverty, for some reason.

[tarheelsrule441]

Have only seen a few guys OHP more than 135 at my gym for reps.

Most I've ever attempted was 205, failed with no bounce, but repped it out with some help from my knees.

guy i use to train with was the same and found that his close grip bench was much stronger than his regular grip

seems odd that you can be stronger in the press than bench, did you train for this?

couch hamilton's a beast

[Kurial]

I'll admit I've been stalling hard on them lol.

Elbows feel painful when doing them due to over extension at the bottom (inner tendon) plus my back gets all hyperextended (fuk).

[Sapporo]

Some people in my gym do it but they're always quarter repping with a 4" rom

[Achilles87]

Because it is the goat upper body movement

[Leem182]

I never relaised standing OHP was a big deal, I just always did it because it looks alpha as hell.

What is considered impressive? I rep 70kg which now I've typed it doesn't seem like a lot but I'll try increasing it.
