Why is Misc obsessed with OHP?

[wouldsmashten]

when you re alpha enough tojerk nehind the neck
then OHS
then snatch balance

you will pitty the *******s who OHP

[tom11]

No hate just curious.
OHP this OHP that

Im the only one doing standing OHP in my gym and its a big gym....

Probably because they suck at the flat barbell bench press and can't even press 2 plates so they pick another exercise that looks "alpha" so they can appear tough on the internets OHPing 1 plate (srs).

Lettuce beef real tea here, Push press and BTN push press are the goat OHP movements. brb more weight than plain ohp, brb juicy side delt development from btn. Brb strong at push press = strong at all other presses.

[Flairinho]

OPH my fav excercise for sure

[midcoastking33]

That hit me in the feels man. I can OHP pretty much my bodyweight but i can barely hit 225 on the bench
feelsbadman.jpg i think i need to do some tricep work to get out of this platuea

[vulgarin]

no leg drive looks cooler

actually using weight looks coolerer.

[FakeNattyBrah]

no leg drive looks goat
its flashes out the raw power of pushing the weight up without jerky motion

[Lendogg]

OHP is hard
Most people are too lazy to do it
Looks alpha
OHP is pretty much how I got traps, I dont do any shrugs

[derkerkjerk]

Because stories have told of a human (?) that once put over 500pounds above his head.

its funny ohping weight that some guys bench

[BrahPlease]

Overhead press and dumbbell shoulder press is the only thing i do for direct shoulders.

[IcemanIsDead]

The OHP is the most basic movements in human history and it's one of the best tests of strength there is. If you can deadlift 500+ and OHP 225+ you are one strong motherfuqqer, there's no "oh he can only do that because he's fat" or "if it wasn't for those wraps he would never have done that weight" with the OHP, either you have a big OHP or you don't.

You can't eat your way to a big OHP, you can't do tricep kickbacks, underhand cable side laterals on a bosu ball or one arm kettlebell behind the neck shrug or any other lame exercise to bring it up. You have to kick your own ass in the gym and fight for every last pound on the OHP.

If you have a big OHP you are probably a very dedicated lifter. Simple as that

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

Couch Hamilton! Mirin everything about that dude

[CanuckBrah]

I love it because it feels like the most alpha full body exercise that doesn't make you feel like you're dying after doing it, like a heavy squat or deadlift does.

[SnatchStuffer]

I've found it incredibly difficult to continuously increase the OHP without gaining significant bodyweight. Same for the bench but to a lesser degree.

IMO a big OHP is more respectable because you have to work harder for it. Squat and deadlift usually increase with proper programming and technique without much problem.

For pressing movements it takes a lot more for me at least. Really honing in on technique, gaining some weight, and increasing volume are key. Just doing more sets, more than just 3x5.

Love me an overhead projector

[ncmavro]

did some ******* say push press?

[FakeNattyBrah]

did some ******* say push press?

lulz

[DamonX]

anyone do it seated? I'm guessing seated is a lot easier to put up in weight. I got up to 150 x 5 for 3 sets @ 155 lbs when I was doing it.

Prob going to start doing it again, but standing.

[AleFCP]

Got 75kg ohp at 80kg bodyweight for reps going for 80 next time

fukin strong if its strict press

[JamalKing]

I got 60Kg x1 for OHP and 65Kg for push press earlier this week, I had 70Kg overhead but couldn't quite lock it out. Definitely my favourite lift to see progress on, I'm hoping to have 2 plates overhead in a year's time.

[rvilla]

Ohp Is the best test of upper body pushing strength imo. If I can only choose 3 lifts ohp, pull-ups or rows, any squat. But I over stretched my quad and can't squat right now. Feelsbadman.

[Argules]

it develops every part of your delt, makes you use your glutes, lower back and abs to the max and also dat dere great upper chest development

[stronguy91]

i love me some ohp, almost at 2plates...still on dat 205 time for reps...soon

[FryDude]

If I had a weight belt I would do it. I do half kneeling OHP's and landmine presses.
