Let's OHP 2,020,000 lbs in 2020

Let's OHP 3,000,000lbs in 2020

Replaces previous goal of 2,020,00lbs
***************


Recreating ECGordyn's thread from last year. Same rules as before

All freeweight overhead presses count: standing or seated, barbell or dumbbell, strict press or push press. Warmup reps count

2019 thread failed, we got 3/4 of the way there, so it's completely do-able.

Come on people, let's separate the men and women from the little girls and boys and find out who will press.

[WhatifI]

All freeweight overhead presses count: standing or seated, barbell or dumbbell, strict press or push press. Warmup reps count.

I'll start:

45x6 + 65x4 + 115x3 + 135x1 + 150x26 =

4,910

150 pounds for 26 reps? I don't think I understand exercise, why did he do 45 pounds for 6, but then 150 pounds for 26? Was everything before 150 pounds just warm up?

150 was my working weight that day, I did 3 sets of it. Everything else was for warmup sets. Here's my workout log that day:

Tom, good idea to start this goal again. Last year, the thread got a lot of enthusiasm at first, and then almost everyone dropped off. When I set the goal, I figured about 7-8 dedicated pressers would log consistently. Hopefully this thread will see more success.

For some reason I didn't get a notification for this response. Did you?

Also, I can't find any real routines for dumbbells. They're all stopgaps for until I can go to a gym. I can't go to a gym.

Start a new thread for off-topic questions.

Might as well get this show on the road:-

132lbs 3x8

No warm up so easy maths for me.

0 + 3168

=

You guessed it

3168.

Report back next upper workout

[fatman515]

Not very impressive overall, but my first day on nSuns yesterday:

10x50 + 9x45 + 15x40 + 10x35 = 1855

[hardyboysare]

Not very impressive overall, but my first day on nSuns yesterday:

10x50 + 9x45 + 15x40 + 10x35 = 1855

No problems there all count at the end of the day so new total:-

5023

Only 2014977lbs to go piece of cake done by summer who needs ball and socket joints anyway.

[WakingOp]

5023+450=

5473

Got a sprain or something in my shoulder, so currently on a (hopefully short) layoff.
That was just 45x10 standing ohp to see how it's feeling. Not yet

+ 3,880 = 9,353

Might be my only contribution. Right shoulder stills feels jacked during OHP even though it's fine with everything else.

[RapidFail]

9 x 30kg and 11 x 30kg (AMRAP set)
Works out to 1323lb

9,353 + 1323 = 10,676

[OldFartTom]

Finally got to the gym. A little bit of barbell strict OHP to get the shoulders moving again

20, 5 warmup 10 warmdown, 15 - 300
30, 4 warmup 10 warmdown, 14 - 420
40, 3 warmup 5 warmdown, 8 - 320
50, 2 warmup 5/4/3/3/3 volume, 20 - 1000
60, 1 rep, easing back into it, 1 - 60
Total Kg 2100


+4,620 = 15,296

[supramax]

... +4,620 = 15,296

+ 3,560 = 18,856

EDIT: I must remember to wait for the blood to return to the brain before calculating totals.

[NearlyBigAngus]

Okay I'm in too - just added shoulder pressing to my routine - first session tonight.

55lb x 20 warm up = 1100lbs
66lbs x 36 = 2376lbs
88lbs x 10 = 880lbs
total = 4356lbs

18,856 + 4356 = 23,212lbs

[VigneshSP]

For this week -

44lb * 8 reps * 4 sets * 2 days = 2816 lbs

23,212 + 2816 = 26,028 lbs

[VigneshSP]

55lbs × 4 sets × 8 reps = 1760

26028 + 1760 = 27,788 lbs

[jademonkey]

Arnold press
+ 2790 = 30,578

[OldFartTom]

I've decided to do a less bench and more OHP. So now OHP'ing 3 times a week.That said some of these will only be very minor and just going through the motions.

Not sure how to balance the volume so I don't overdo it and crash/burn in a few weeks. Taking it really easy and will dial up the weight and volume little by little over time. Here's a micro OHP workout that replaces my last bench set (which would have been a light AMRAP). (20kg 5 sets 10)

+2,200lbs = 33,778

[hardyboysare]

40kg 8x5 Barbell strict press = 1600kg (3520lbs)

44kg 7x5 Seated dumbbell strict press = 1540kg (3388lbs)

= 6908lbs

New Total = 40,686

[OldFartTom]
