"You can't OHP 1pl8, you're kidding right?"
I've never had a problem with OHP, but it seems like OHP is hard to make progress with.
Why? What's the limiting factor in this lift?
>>36796949
Yeah m8, OHP is my weakest lift
it's hard to progress for some reason
Maybe some of us have weaker shoulders?
>>36796972
Small muscle group.
>>36796972
You most likely haven't really progressed far or you're push pressing.
I can ohp 85lbsx5 and have only been lifting for 4 months... s'good r-right?
>>36797079
>lifting
Lmao. 4 months? I could do 90x5 my first day.
Inb4 fat (5'11" and 170)
Right now I can OHP 125 x 8
6'1" 190
ohp 5x5 170
1. Squeeze the fuck out of the bar with your hands to get your forearms and triceps involved and help stabilize the bar. Your whole upper body should be tight during the push.
2. When you start to push, imagine you're pushing it slightly backwards, as if you were going to lock the bar out behind your head like in a clean.
3. Get a big breath of air in your gut and hold it while you're pushing. This keeps your core tightly braced and protects against back injuries.
Those 3 things have helped me immeasurably.
>>36797092
and what are you at now?

>When you start to push, imagine you're pushing it slightly backwards, as if you were going to lock the bar out behind your head like in a clean.
...I don't think you know what a clean is. Do you mean a snatch?
The Valsalva tip is primo though. Absolute requirement for any productive lifting.
>>36796949
You do realize at least 90% of the US can't OHP that and she isn't that attractive for the ~10% who can
>>36797429
Yes I mean snatch, thanks. Sorry if that confused anyone!
>>36797092
This shit pisses me off. There's literally no reason to give people shit for where they start; it's the progress that fucking counts.
>>36797429
>>36797367
>le valsava maneuver
oh look it's trappy-chan and the one piece of advice he memes over and over again in every thread
>>36796949
joke's on you bitch i did 140 today. now where's that blowjob?
>>36796972
Shoulder muscles are small, and people are afraid to eat big
>>36797022
What's push pressing? I'm pretty dyel.
>>36797783
when you jump or use legs to gain momentum before pushing upwards
>>36797783
You run with the bar behind your neck and then come to a stop and push it off your neck as quickly as you can. You try to see how far you can get it to go, aiming for distance obviously. I think the current world record is like 43ft.
>>36796949
I can OHP like 1.5 strict, can OHP at least 2pl8 with leg drive.
Can barely bench 2pl8 though, probably should have been a strongman instead.
>>36797812
Thanks asshole, now I'm banned from another gym. I already had a warning strike due to a minor sexual incident and now they've torn my card up. FUCKING GAINS GOBLIN.
>>36797831
you fucking newfags really don't know how to play along with a joke, do you?
>>36797848
not the guy you're replying to but next time at least make your banter *somewhat* believable fampai
>>36797732
>proper breathing is a meme
Go ahead anon, let your breath out at the bottom of your next squat and see how it feels.
>>36797812
>>36797831
this is why i love 4Chan XD
>>36797848
please don't use fag as an insult. also sorry for my bad english
>>36797092
And I could barely do 60 as my 1rm. 1 year later I can do 115 for reps. Don't give people shit for where they start. What matters is their commitment and progress.
>tfw you switch to push pressing for the remaining reps you can't do with strict pressing
>tfw you don't know if this even works
>>36798021
I'm sure it does something. Can't tell you how much, though.
>>36797926
SAME! I LOVE the random humor!!!! It's not quite as funny as 9gag though. Most of the People Here are Mean
>>36797934
not for nothing, but going up only 55 pounds in a pretty big lift in a year isn't that hot
>>36798021
Nah, it works. I finally got 225 this year and the only way I got my press to go up was heavy push presses and pin lockouts.
>>36796949
Newfag here
What 'is OHP 1pl8'?
>>36798637
Overhead Press - 135 pounds or 45 bar+ one 45lb plate on each end.
>>36798721
Ahh
>>36797926
>>36798114
>>36798561
haha epic replies gentlemen xD
>>36797732
Oldfag here. /fit/ has known about and advocated the valsalva maneuver for many years
>>36796949
155lbs manlet here, ohp close to 1.5x my bodyweight. OP confirmed as overlord faggot of weak b8
i just strict pressed 255 at 205bw today lol
>>36797079
Anon that's more than me you're gonna fucking make it
>>36798764
thanks friend
>>36797685
Truth.
>>36797092
You must be pretty strong man. Post bod?
>>36798972
Teach me your ways...all my lifts are good except OHP
>>36797367
>behind your head like in a clean
>behind your head like in a clean
>behind your head like in a clean
>>36797079
>just did 100lbsx5
>only been lifting for 3 months
>bench is still 130x5
pretty nice but also suffering
Hit 165 for 3 singles tonight. I weigh 165.
Feels good, lads
>>36797367
You should replace the behind the head cue with ''push your head through the window you make with your arms'', lest some guy actually tries to hold it behind his head.
Secondly, the best tip I ever got was to squeeze dem glutes
I'm on 52.5kg x5
1 plate is so close, yet so far
>>36796949
Feels bad man, I can only do 150*5 at 225 lb bodyweight. On the plus side, I just did 425*5 on my deads yesterday
>>36796949
I don't even know what OHP stands for?
>>36800066
it's fucking far m8
>>36800066
You could 1 rep max it couldn't you? That counts right?
>>36796949
105x3
>tfw finally did 155x5 yesterday
we're all gunna make it brahs
>>36796949
1pl8 =\= 1 5lb plate.
>>36800066
I believe in you, bro. You got this shit, just work safe and keep approaching all your goals. You're gonna do it and it's gonna kick ass.
>>36796972
The deltoids. They're small and weekly progress (even with 2,5 kilos per week) is hard as fuck for reps.
>>36796949
I think OHP is my strongest lift relative wise. It least symmetricstrength says so.
I can bench press 75 5RM, squat 100 3RM, deadlift 110 5RM and Press 60 1RM, and my delts are "intermediate" while the rest is "novice".
183cm (6ft) 80kgs (180lbs)
>>36797926
I get hard from watching two men fuck each other and give each other rim jobs. I fap to homosexual orgies because I'm sexually attracted to men and I still use faggot as an insult. Try and stop me.
>>36796949
everyone can OHP 1plate at least for one rep
I OHP 1pl8 for reps
My 1RM is my bodyweight (165)
>>36796972
OHP always stalls invariably on your forehead level. That's when your upper pecs are done with their part and it's time for the deltoids to pass the weight up to the triceps.
So, deltoids.
>>36797092
lowest of forms.
>>36796949
I love when you guys talk absolute numbers and not bw%
If a 70 kg guy can OHM 60 kg, that's professional athlete level.
if a 100 kg can only lift 60 kg, that's fucking pathetic.
what's your OHM/bw OP?
>>36800661
nah that's cool. It's your word now.
>>36800686
that's my fucking goal.
Do some seated dumbbell presses for 8 reps 3 sets twice a week. Should be able to break a plateau you might be experiencing in the strict OHP. I did this when I was doing C6W and I hit 1pl8 OHP during that time.
>>36800924
Not OP but
80kgs, 60kg OHP no leg drive.
good y/n?
>>36800924
>If a 70 kg guy can OHM 60 kg, that's professional athlete level.
What. I'm 71kg and my 1RM is probably around 55kg, and I'm dyel as fuck.
>>36800924
I'm 75kg, I can OHP my bodyweight for 1 rep. (not OP btw)
>>36796949
WTF THAT POINTY ELBOW!?!
>>36801011
He's typing out his ass, i can OHP my fucking bodyweight(73kg) and push ouy 60kg for reps and that'd automatically make me a fucking athlete, yeah i don't think so.
Any tips on ohp strength development anon?
>>36800924
>tfw 143 lbs body weight
>tfw ohp 1pl8 for reps
>tfw 145 lbs ohp for 2 reps
>tfw still can't bench 1pl8 for one rep
>>36801454
fuck, i ment 2 plate binch
>>36801356
buy microplates. you can pretty much forget about making 5lbs jumps on OHP. it's way too much in the long run
>>36796949
My strongest lifts are ohp and deadlift. I made it up to 1pl8 in 2 months lol.
> tfw you stall at 57.5KG
I got 3 sets of 5 but I only progress at 5 sets of 5. Could prolly get 2/3 with it tho.
People don't realise that 60KG OHP is far more than any normie will ever be able to do and that's why they do faggy seated dumbbell presses, getting anywhere near it is good by normie standards and baby's first achievement by fit standards
