Any tips for the Overhead press /fit/ ? I keep stalling around 65-70 lbs. Also OHP general

Also dont be a puss
Do it more often. Replace bench day with OHP.
>>35945745
I just hit 3x5 115 yesterday. I do seated so it's not exactly the same but it's still heavy ass weight. Just keep adding weight.

Watch Mark Rippetoes vid with AoM. Get the right grip and do the airhump.
>>35945854
>3x5 115

what?
>>35945745
Do more lateral raises.
>>35945862
Nothing wrong with using push press-esque technique to get weight up.
>>35945745
Make sure you tense everything. Clench glutes and Abs and use glute drive to help you at the top portion of the lift. I didn't do this for the first few months I OHPed and I didn't get much stronger in it as a result. I also find that I need longer breaks with OHP than with similar pressing excercises.
OHP is a hard lift and one that progresses extremely slow. Just make sure you eat enough, have proper form, and keep grinding. It makes the slightest increase feel great. When I finally hit 115 It felt like when I hit 225 for squats. When I hit 135- the first of the /fit/ standards that I hit- and I felt on top of the world.
keep at it OP.
>>35945895
he says to use the movement, like a bow. But aint it actually two different directions, hips going forward, arms going up? how to use forward energy for pushing up?
>>35945745
70 pounds on each side is pretty impressive op. I can only do 1 plate.
>>35945745
how long have you been doing them?
I've been going to the gym for around 5months now and can get 110lbs/50kgs up with overhead press, i use a little momentum from my knees to help the initial push,from there its just getting your arms straight up.
I could probably go for 132lbs/60kg/1pl8 if i didn't have to lift the bar from below waist height, curl it up to my shoulders and then push.

Clean it you moron
U need to learn the proper technique of The Press.

>>35946207
Think of a bow.
When you pull the bow, the tops and bottom get pulled down because the string is attached to that part.
When you release the bow, the top and bottom snap up / down because the tension has been released.
So when you thrust forward, your lowering the top of your bow and creating tension (shoulders/ arms), and when you bring it back, you are releasing that tension when you snap your hips back, and you use that to power the lift.
>>35946297
never done it, don't know anyone that has, gonna take some practice but I'll try.
>>35946257
Seated with bar or in smith machine / with or without back support?

Hi, Crossfit.

does the hip thrust help with sexual performance?

Thanks, Rip
>>35946349
No, please don't add that to the sticky.
It's terribly written because I don't know the terminology, I only understand the concept. I'm sure someone can explain it much better with the proper terms.
I guess for laymen's terms, it works fine enough though.
>think of your body as a bow, shoulders being the top of the bow and legs being the bottom
>the bow string is the invisible line between the shoulders and your legs
>when you thrust, think of the bow being drawn
>when the bow is drawn, the top and bottom bend down because the tension of pulling the bow string pulls the top of the bow down (your shoulders) and the bottom of the bow up (your legs)
>when the bow is released, the bottom and top of the bow snap back into place with increased force
>so you "snap" your hips back (but not that fast obviously), using that force to snap the top of your bow (shoulders) up
Just look at pic related and you can see what I mean.
>>35946401
It's the reverse part of the thrust that helps your lift (aka the releasing of the bow). So I guess it depends on what you're doing.
>>35946405
that's just a standing incline bench press kek
>>35946405
>>35947814
It's a real lift called the bent back press which no longer sees use in competitions.
>>35945745
>OHP? You mean The Press?
>>35946310
That's the old Olympic Press (and one of the main reasons it was removed from the olympics).

The Press is supposed to look like pic related.
Microplates
Dumbbell raises
Widen your grip a bit so your traps are more involved with the lift.
>>35948042
die tranny faggot
>>35948014
Holy shit, some of you are taking the trapscience general seriously.
>>35946310
Looks like something a powerlifter would do.
>>35945745
Like most people have said, OHP is a rough lift to progress in. Doing it more often helps. Dropping the weight and doing more reps for a couple weeks helps. Adding in supplemental lifts for the next few months also helps.
Depends on what road you want to go down.
Also, just for comparison, what is the weight for your other lifts? Are you putting up comparatively the same amount of weight for your other main lifts?
>>35945826
wait what is this lower body momentum for. Just looks like cheating to me. Rippetoe teaches a bit of hip drive but thats it.
>>35945745
>that pic
WHEN
WILL
THEY
LEARN
>>35949127
nvm i just realized this was not in fact ohp. please no tricking
I've had good results just by upping the weight even if I'm not ready for it. I'll only knock out 2-3 reps, but it always works eventually.
>>35945745
as soon as the bar gets above your head, thrust your head forward under the bar so that you can more efficiently engage the large muscles of your back
>>35945745
According to rippetoe you should not stall, instead you should add 5lb per workout. This means after 5yrs lifting you should be OHP'ing 1,300lb natty (5*52*5)
>>35949293
Lol, SS fags BTFO

I mean he wasn't too far off. His shoulders look pretty beastly.

this isn't rip.
>>35949834
>>35946188
Yes there is. The moment he uses leg drive to push the bar up it is no longer a OHP. While push presses carry over to OHP strength to a degree, doing one exercise and calling it another is just plain retarded.

>>35948042
The (original) Press, in which I refered to, utilizes more muscles, and therefore, it is better.
The Press also gives you way better core strength, since you cannot bend that far back without snapping, unless you have sufficient core strength.
The old olympic WLs never had problems with the lower back for this reason.
>>35948024
>Drinking milk from a glass
>>35949892
The olympic press is not the original press, it came after. Read the pdf.
>>35945854
OK I will keep adding weight and keep filing reps
>>35946192
thanks man i will try this
>>35946276
about a month. i am still very weak

BEST LIFT EVER
>I keep stalling around 65-70 lbs
are you a girl, 4'9, or handicapped in someway?
>>35950553
He's probably just tall
>>35946310

>>35950610
I'm tall and lift double that.
>>35945745
Auschwitz-mode skelly here. Like you I'm doing a SL/SS routine to build my basic lifts up, and am also struggling with the OHP.
My tip would be to micro-load. If your gym doesn't have 2.5kg/1.25kg plates (or whatever the fuck that is in lb) then buy some. They're cheap and a good way to gradually increase your lifts.
>>35945745
Just keep at it, I can do 135 for 1-2 reps
All I did was keep at it and like the others are saying just add weight
>>35946405
Did people get injured doing this method?
>>35951565
Let me rephrase the question: does this method have a higher injury risk than any other competitive lift?
>>35946188
Nigga get the weight up of what? Of not-an-OHP?
>>35946209
>gloves
>>35945745
My tip, put more weight on the bar and fucking push.
...or press rather.
You can do it.
Reminder to squeeze the fuck out of your glutes while you OHP.
>>35951784
>hurr durr pussy hope they match her purse xD
She's like 90 years old dude.
>>35951889
Why?
Is it okay to use momentum to lift the bar up or should it be slow movement?
>>35945745
hahaha what the fuck little manlet? Doing the press won't make you grow any taller! try hanging by your neck instead, maybe you will add one centimetre little man
WHEN WILL THEY LEARN
>>35946276
>i use a little momentum from my knees to help the initial push,
Then you're not over head pressing idiot
>>35949816
>Be guy
>Workout 3months and get shit tier lift stats
>Have mental illness
>Get on bitch hormones and get implants but still rocking that natty male test
>I grill now

D E V I L I S H
>>35949816
She didn't even post a pic douche. Still no proof.
>>35952221
If you use momentum it's a push press. OHP you should be stable
>>35950610
Since when has being tall been an excuse to lift less? Tall people have more absolute strenght in all static lifts.
Sure maybe you have abit longer hands, but you can pack wayy more muscle at 6,5 than 5,2
>>35946310
op don't do this you will die
Im 152 cm (5'0) and 51 kg (110 lbs) and have been stalling on 27,5 kg (55 lbs) ive been having great gains on every other lift but ohp, what is a realistic goal for me and how do i get there?
>>35945826
>push press
Shit what you doing nigga
>>35953508
Fractional plates?
