Seriously /fit why can't you do a 135lb OHP?
I'm trying bro.
Because I cant bench 135
>>36706792
Took me a week of lifting to hit 1pl8 bench
because i cant OHP
But I can.
I can do 205
>>36706805
It took me 6 months. I started at 80 lbs on a machine. My routine was bullshit obviously but I didn't know that at the time and I'd never heard of fit.
>>36706779
I can OHP 225 several times. I was never able to until I started clean and jerking and that skyrocketed my OHP lifts
>>36706785
Why is it difficult for the /fitizens? Is it that there are mostly lanklets here?
I can
>>36706827
Do you see a difference in seated OHPs and standing OHPs?
>>36706779

>tfw failing on 100lb OHP (3 x 10)
>tfw failing on 135lb bench press (3 x 10)
i want to do 1pl8 OHP and 2pl8 bench. but stalling early
>>36706865
I am having the biggest issue with a 2pl8 bench. Any suggestions /fit?
>>36706824
Helps to have a spotter with free weights vs machine for sure
>>36706828
Because /fit/is mostly newfags. Once most people know what they're doing in the gym, they move on to reddit. The only people who stick around are autists like me
>>36706805
I can push 135 on machine but I struggle with 115 on real bench.. Should I shamelessly bench under or keep pushing
>>36706886
>tfw no spotter
>tfw cant go heavy because no spotter
>tfw i have a gf that works out with me but cant spot me
>tfw i will never achieve the gains I want without a spotter
>>36706903
I tried going to reddits fit page. Too many white knights and i hate reddits layout.
It's no fun.
>>36706928
you should ask someone at the gym
>tfw home gym, can never have a spotter
>>36706917
>>36706917
Get off the machine keep pushing on the bench.
Youll make it
>>36706779
Because i've had 2 massive shoulder surgeries and have been told multiple times that I'll never lift again. Hit 105 for OHP reps last week so im pretty pumped
>>36706941
Id hate to bother someone who is working out to spot me.
If I ran a gym I'd offer a spot man. Pay per exercise to have someone spot you. 5 bucks per exercise up to 4 sets.
I just did for ten reps today. Don't you put that shit on me
>>36706951
What the fuck happened to you?
I did 3x8 at 100 today. Should I try for 135 next time?
>>36706986
Increase by 10s
>>36706779
>stall on 40kg today
>had to drop down to 37.5
just fuck my fucking lifts up thanks family
>>36707013
Happened to me yesterday with incline dumbbell presses. My right pec completely failed on my 60lb dumbbell press. I do 80s!
>>36707004
Sorry, I meant should I try and do 135 once just to see if I can do it. Not 8 reps at 135. If reps 7-8 at 100 are a struggle for me I'm pretty sure more than 1-2 at 135 ain't happening yet. I've been increasing by 5 pounds every week or so for a few months now for my sets of 8 on OHP. I like to take it relatively easy on upping weight on my shoulders and only started OHP after lifting for about a year. I've never injured them, but more so than any other joints in my body they're the most likely to get sore in the "uh oh that's not the muscle" sort of way.
>>36706960
Work in with some people at the flat bench. They'll have nothing better to do than spot you until their next set
>>36706805
Stubby armed manlet detected

6'1 desu
>>36706969
Broke off a majority of the glenoid (shoulder socket) in 2013, had Vid related done and was able to get back to about 80% function again but then I broke my shoulder a second time and completely trashed everything that had been done in the 1st surgery. They repeated a similar procedure except using an iliac crest bone graft because I had shattered what was left of the coracoid and it was unusable at that point. They also injected me with stem cells and basically just hoped that it would help lol

I've been working out for 1 month, and i got my OHP to 85lbs before I hurt myself and realized my form was completely wrong, putting too much strain on my traps.
Now after a couple weeks with proper form i've worked on it with 65lbs, but i feel like the linear progression i'm looking for isn't coming.
At 6'4'' is this normal, that being a lanklet means I won't be able to lift as heavy?
>>36707095
For certain lifts your height could be a disadvantage. I'm also 6'4 with longer legs and have a bit of a hard time squatting.
The only reason overhead press would be hard is because of the range of motion, your leverages won't be much different than other lifters if your use good form. Keep at it and you'll get 1plateOHP.
>>36706779
i can
I can do 255.
>>36707655
For pretty much every lift that isn't some sort of deadlift, being tall is a leverage disadvantage.
But the main killer for taller lifters is bodyweight. Pound for pound you're always going to be worse than a shorter guy.
>>36706960
You are either stupid or autism. Just fucking asking someone to spot you.
Is 135 x 3 after 3 months good progress?
>>36708076
Yeah i wasn't too clear, i meant Ohp leverages wouldn't suffer too bad compared to say squats.
But I OHP 185, OP. I'm hoping to hit 225 by the end of the year.
>>36708126
I'm currently at 160 for 2
lmao2plaet would be the tits
>>36706877
I started benching 3 times a week and it helped a shit ton. I'm at 2.5 plates now.
i filmed myself for the first time in the gym, it was empty, usually too selfcancerous to do it. noticed that i was swinging the bar way forward on my OHP.
>>36706779
I can, just got there recently. Feels good man.
>>36706779
75kg for a strict single ohp
85kg for push press / jerk
its a bitch to train
>>36706779
does anyone else use push press for the first rep?
i can never do the first one even if i do the rest strict
can do 1pl8x5 at only 75kg
>>36706779
I can do 145 for 3. What are you talking about?
>>36706805
Same
>>36707061
Be weak
I can OHP 135 like it's nothing and I weigh 165. Can't do any other workout to save my life, total fucking DYEL been stuck at 185 on bench for months. Kill me
>tfw you repped dat shit before you started cutting
I don't want to know where I'm at until I reintroduce carbs desu
>>36706779
Is it like 60 kg? Kek, who the hell can't OHP 60 kg?
>>36706779
Because I only do The press
Because I don't even work out, lol
today will be my first attempt at 135 lb OHP as part of my 5x5 routine. wish me luck bros
>>36706779
IRL, i can count the number of people at my gym that i see strict press more than 135. Most normies get stuck in OHP purgatory between 95 and 115 lbs for what seems like forever.
>>36706779
what? everyone can do it for one rep
Scared of doing a standing OHP. Can do 125lb seated OHP. Why am I so nervous?
>>36710083
Confirmed, I am a normie stuck at 3x5 110 lbs. Just want to get to 135!
im 6'2'' and I spent the first 20 years of my life playing video games and eating saltines and cheese pizza
Was able to OHP 135lb my first day in the gym. I reckon the physical nature of my jobs and being gernally active with sports and such since leaving highschool has left me with some strength
>>36706960
shit, the more i think of it, it keeps seeming like a good idea for a gym
brb gonna rent one and make mad dough on aspergers
>be a horrifyingly scary skeleton with absolutely no strength
>could previously hardly ohp 20kg
>managed to do 40kg today with a random milf miring
it went well
I do handstand pushups instead
>>36710291
woman
Because last time i tried lifting heavy on OHP i dislocated my shoulder
>>36706824
Newfag fuck off
>>36706779
I did it yesterday for 5x5. I'm a recovering fat guy. Been doing SL on a cut for 5 months
>>36706779
Who the fuck can't i'm 5'3 and not exactly a lifter
>>36708992
Yes. Its good in that you wont sap as much of your strength repping out from a dead start, as the bounce reflex at the bottom of the following reps assists in getting it back up from there on
>>36709005
Eat more
>>36706779
72.5kg ohp
100kg bench
140x4 kg squat
200kg deadlift
i just barely hit 1/2/3/4 with my shitty bench and i dont consider myself that strong. how can people on fit be so weak? like struggling with 100kg deadlift, 40kg bench and 30kg ohp? have you never eaten or used your body in your entire life?
Holy fucking shit, /fit/ is so pathetically weak.
I can do 150 for 5. No rack so I have the most trouble getting it off the ground.
>>36710483
I was a 300 lbs manlet neet when I started lifting. It took a year just to get strong enough to not have chronic back pain.
3 plate OHP here. Everyone saying it should take X amount of time is wrong. It's different from person to person. Focus on yourself and improve from there.
>>36710673
>No rack so I have the most trouble getting it off the ground.
you're having trouble power cleaning 150lbs?
>>36706779
>tfw 27lbs away from a 135 OHP
almost there brahs
>>36706779
because i'm cutting ;______;
i can do 135 for reps though, just not when i'm on a 900 cal deficit
>>36710783
>tfw doing a 1k calorie deficit and still making gains
just man the fuck up dude, also, im not fat.
>>36710740
I'm too lazy to spend a day learning how to power clean. I do like a close grip power snatch up to my chest without dropping under it.
>>36710827
>also im not fat
Are you the fat powerlifter from last night's thread lmao
>>36708992
>bounces back
>strict
Nope.
>>36706779
wait did everyone just start lifting?
>>36708992
If you need to push press for the first rep then you're not strict pressing.
>>36710845
topkek mate, what you're describing is a powerclean.
I'm at 27.5 lb on each side, and I can do that for maybe 3-4 reps.
A-am I gonna make it?
>>36706779
>tfw Hit 155 lb for 3 yesterday
>still no gf
i can but probably only once or twice
>torn labrum in right shoulder
>Bone impingement in left shoulder
I had given up on OHP a while back, but I have been trying it again.
Seems like with a good warm up and super strict form, I can do the press without shoulder pains. I am about to 135 right now, repped 115 last time I did the exercise.
>A am i going to make it?
