How did you guys progress on OHP?
Most of my lifts are intermediate now (after 7 months), but still my OHP is seriously lacking and I don't really know what I'm doing wrong...
>>
>>36430065
For me it's genetics, I have broad shoulders and decent hips + being a manlet. Basically to bring it up, it's easy just doing OHP more. do OHP 2 times a week every week instead of alternating with bench. Also try unloading 10kg and then reloading over and over again. And if all else fails just do some accessories like seated dumbbell press.
>>
>>36430087
Yeah, I'm content with my bench, so maybe I'll do that. Thanks.
>>
>>36430087
Oh yeah, another thing I wanted to ask:
Ripp teaches the OHP with that hip bounce, do you do that bounce or do you do a normal OHP?
>>
>>36430140
I do use a 'hip bounce', but absolutely make sure your not using your knees to bounce otherwise it's a push press. It's a hip thrust to give more energy from your hips to your arms. Be careful on how far back your back extends because it can hurt your back quite bad. All you have to do is watch how rip teaches it and try to replicate that as well as possible.
>>
>>36430174
OK, I'll practice on it some more and read that section again.
Thanks for the advice!
>>
>>36428199
not all people make logical connection that trex means tyranosaurus rex. Without writing it like t-rex I barely see the connection even when I know it's there.
