The press is probably the most emasculating weight lifting move there is.
I rarely see anyone else in my gym even attempt it.
Stick with it faggot, you'll get to that 1pl8.
>>36720502
OHP is the manliest of all the lifts for a reason goyim.
you'll get to 1plate it just takes time, watch videos on OHP form as well.
>tfw can only OHP at bar
We're gonna make it someday....
im ready to move up 5 pounds on my ohp, wish me luck bros
>tfw 1pl8 OHP is the dream
I'm tryin
>>36720778
we're all gonna make it... :^)
>>36720778
when i started i couldnt even do the 20kg/45lb bar, i had to use the preset bars that go up to 20kg/45lb.
Got to a 1 plate ohp
DONT STOP
BELEEEEEEEVIN
>tfw I can do 5x5 80 lbs OHP after a month of lifting
I'm doing it lads
I had trouble with the bar when I first started, but I eventually got up to 40kg (90lbs), but I fucked my trap doing them and it's been hurting for the past two weeks. I can't do anything now.

The first time I did the OHP I did it seated, with a 15kg bar and legitimately struggled. I hit 70kg 1RM last Monday, something I never though I'd be able to do, and that just motivates me to hit 80 now. Keep hammering it and the gains will come. Close grip bench press is GOAT for developing a strong ohp, bench etc.
I wouldn't feel bad about lifting low weights at all if I were you, looking back on it I've only seen a handful of guys put up 1 plate or over in the 4-5 gyms I've trained at. There are plenty of regulars who have decent lifts who suck dick at OHP, don't hit it often enough and remain bad or just give up because they get embarrassed.
I can do 90 lbs x 12, fresh of course.
>>36720791
Good luck and good gains breh.
>>36720791
5 in one run is too much dude, try 2, 5
>>36720768
Took me like 2 months to hit 75kg when i just started, bench was always lagging feelsbadman
>bench only 105lb
>the press 125 somehow
feels wierd
>>36720502
First time doing press got max of 95, 2 months ago. Have 115 now, going for 120 tomorrow. I feel like 5x5 isn't too good for the press. Been pyramiding up, to my 1 rep max each work out. Good gains, but it's tiring as fuck.
I have no idea why, but I'm just really good at the press. All my other lifts are between novice abs intermediate but my press is at advanced.
Form is fine, my lifting buddy is an experienced oly lifter and he says it's golden.
Im a skeleton and the highest I got my OHP was either 100lb or 105lb I dont remember. I am back from hiatus and right now I am doing 90lb. Can I get to a pl8 without snaping my shit up or do I need to get a lot of mass in my lower back and glutes first?
>>36720502
>5x5 with 65 lbs OHP
I reached that after 2 months. At 155 bodyweight.
