How much do you The Press?
>>36859072
Your mom.
>>36859072
I The Press 50 kg for 3x5 BW 70 kg
>>36859072
only 55kg for 1rm..
100kg at 75kg BW
Just finished my second month of SS

We're all gonna make it xD

What accessories are good to improve on OHP? I don't think I ever achieved more than 40kgs 3x5.
42 kg for 3x10
half plaet master race
>>36859184
Heavy lat raises.
>>36859072
110 lbs for 1 rm... :/
>>36859184
Try deloading 10%, then when deloading do a 4th set of AMRAP.
>>36859184
More OHP volume. Drop the accessories
>>36859072
175lbs. at 249lbs. 6'6".
I'm coming for that 225.
>>36859271
When reloading*
Is there any benefit to doing a seated dumbbell press? Or is standing with a barbell objectively better?
115 lbs on a good day
I'm using the form from the rippetoe/art of manliness video but I don't know if I'm getting the wrist alignment right
>>36859287
I finally got 225 for 5 this month. Took fooking years.
>>36859072
I press 50kg for 5 reps which isn't much but I will say that my lifts have gone up significantly by focussing on technique/form. Keeping your grip only shoulder widht apart feels weird at first but it will help you progress quicker. Most people have a wider grip which can be limiting.
>>36859072
1 pl8
>>36859511
>Keeping your grip only shoulder widht apart feels weird at first but it will help you progress quicker.
This. A closer grip did wonders for my OHP.

155lb x 5. What do you guys think about dropping bench altogether for more OHP days?
>>36859656
Same here, m80.
I can do 1 plate for like 3 reps.
Is that respectable?
>>36859345
It is easier as it requires less coordination to remain stable. But I wouldnt recommend it because it puts more pressure on your lower back than when standing.
102.5 lbs 3x5
>>36859929
BW?
95lbs
Last week: 95lbs
Week before that: 95lbs
Month before that: 95lbs
Suffering
>>36859929
no.
>>36860015
Have you deloaded at all?
>>36859929
It's impressive to normies considering the average normie can only do 1plate bench for reps
>>36859511
>Keeping your grip only shoulder widht apart feels weird at first but it will help you progress quicker. Most people have a wider grip which can be limiting.
Seconding this, I used to press with my middle fingers around the rings on either side and it was ultimately limiting as well as harder on my shoulders. Just outside shoulder width makes it easier to just go straight up.
>>36859072
I literally started strong lifts 3 weeks ago. So 80lbs. I feel like i'm going to make it brehs.
>>36860015
bump up the volume / go for triples buddy
>skeleton
>can do 100lb give or take a little 1RM
What is my natty limit for OHP though? I feel at a certain point my fragile beta bones just wont be able to support something like 1pl8
>>36860059
Did you lift weights before starting SL or are you just starting now?
>>36860034
I actually jumped from 80 to 95 too fast cuz I wanted to put those 25lb plates on, that's why I stalled for so long. But today I just did two extra reps on my last set, so next week I'm trying 100 finally.
>>36859975
195 but most of that is in my legs
>>36859271
What's AMRAP?
>>36859072
60 x 5 last month, struggled to put up 55 x 3 today
>900 cal deficit
>kill me
>>36860112
As many reps as possible
When I am at the full extension on my OHP, I feel a kind of pinching feeling between my anterior and medial deltoid. Is that just the muscles cramping from being kind of pushed together?
It doesn't feel anything like a tear or a strain or anything
>>36859511
thirding this, i couldn't progress past 50kg until i sorted out my form and narrowed my grip then it shot up
On 3rd month of SL been stalled on 85 for a little while. Gonna go for 90 Friday, wish me luck fellas
>>36859130
Same.
>>36859197
Are you me?
70kg BW
>first 3 months of lifting
>80 lbs
holy shit why is this lift so fucking hard
any benefit to doing OHP v dumbbell shoulder press?
>>36860538
Only real difference is barbells allow you to add smaller amounts of weight at a time as you progress.
>>36859142
How the fuck
>>36859184
Deload, check your form.
135lbs 1 x 5
177lbs bw
>>36860124
You sure you're not taking the bar too far behind yourself?
>>36860524
Because most people have no need for shoulder strength and even most gym rats tend to neglect them. OHP is very difficult for most people and its ok. Keep improving.
>>36859184
Push press with slow eccentric return to rack position.
Swiss bar or log press
Overhead carries
Turkish getups
>>36860524
because you're not eating enough most likely. also check your form is good, it's one of those lifts where good form really is beneficial. do push presses too if you don't already.
I'm stuck at 135×1 how the fuck do I get better at this, I've been trying to slowly grind up my 3 x 5 but I'm stuck around 115
140 3x12
5'10, 172
Enough to make girls (The thing I lift for after myself and acting) drool whenever they're out.
150x6 today as a PR. 6'2" 190 lbs dyel here.
>>36860716
>Overhead carries
>Turkish getups
you forgot kipping pull ups and wall balls
>>36859130
Why don't you do more volume?
>>36859072
47.5kg for 5x5, haven't stalled yet.
Used to hate it as I stalled at only 40kg 3x5 a long while ago. Lowering the weight and doing 4 sets of 8 (twice the volume) just shot the weight up. Doing arnold dumbell press too, and some lateral raises.
Volume Volume and more fucking volume.
80lbs 5x5 at 155lbs body weight. been training for 3 months. pretty average i guess?
255@205bw power clean and strict press
>>36860965
p average at your weight. As long as you add more volume or weight on a weekly basis you're golden.
>>36861061
that's 1rm im assuming, pretty beast.
45kgs 3x8 at 77kgs, weak as fuark
Did 215@235lbs now am at 185@215lbs
>>36859184
Anything that works your triceps heavily.
Dips, push press
But if youre not OHPing decent weight then fuck assistance exercises. You need to do more OHP.
Like every session. You dont get very strong in a lift by doing 15 reps once or twice a week.
Do it every session with different rep ranges and intensity.
45kg 3x5 at 61kg BW. It was easy to get to 40kg, but started getting harder from there. I'm determined to hit 50kg before the end of June but it's a bitch to progress.
i used to get 145x1 but i started focusing on it about two weeks ago and now I can do 150x3
52.5kg x5 at 77kg.
Deloaded a bit and upped the volume. Feel I should break past 52 and reach atleast 57.5 before my next stall.
>>36859072
260lb
155lb The Press 3x5
Haven't tried for a heavy single, but I assume it'd be 185-195lb.
>>36861282
Deloading and adding more volume feels great.
60kgs for 7 reps @ 78kgs

>>36861333
Congratz on the 1 plate ohp bruh.
Is his video on Art of Manliness the best way to do The Press? I saw the old vids and they are sort of doing a little bounce instead of the hip snap.
I get absurd looks doing the hip swing, but no one bats an eye if I do the old mini bounce method.
>>36861363
>mini bounce
Depends what that means. You are keeping your legs locked right?
>can do 100lb 3x5
>try for 105 and only manage 5reps, then 4, then 3 on the last set
>resting for like 4 minutes between each set
need some microplates
>>36861282
This is exactly where I am atm.
>>36861418
It's an annoying position. So close to 1plate yet so far.
>>36861384
You bend your knees down a tiny bit, then you lock them up, and as you lock them up, you use that upward snap to snap the bar up.
I saw it in his older The Press videos before the hip snap.
>>36861459
Sounds more like a push press than a the press.

85 lb 3x5 at 144 BW Skinnyfat noob.
I literally just started a couple months ago and I've only advanced like 10 lbs in 3 months. Feels bad.

The only times I've had consistent, non-plateauing progress on The Press is when I'm dirty bulking and pounding at least 4 McDoubles a day
Question:
I rarely ever see anyone at my gym doing The Press. At least half the time that they do, they have their legs split with one foot in front of the other. I've never seen this taught anywhere in any article. Are these people stupid, or does it not matter?
65 kg for 3x5 at 70 kg bw.
>>36859072
37kg 5x5 1min breaks. Pretty weak desu
Its a good lift to do though. I do some for fun occasionally.
>>36861629
Its a good policy to not trust 90% of what you see or hear other people do
>>36859072
215. Gonna try 225 tomorrow.
>>36861649
>1 min breaks
found your problem
>>36861733
you're supposed to take that much time between sets
>>36861743
Pretty short breaks for doing heavy (i assume it's heavy for you) sets of 5
>>36861743
if you're doing heavy sets on a compound lift (like OHP) try 3 minutes of rest
>>36859692
What about chest?
>Inb4 Klokov
>>36861780
>3
Maybe it's because I'm 27, but I take at least 5 minutes between sets when going heavy for OHP
>>36861733
You sure? I'm cutting right now so I thought it might benefit to have the extra intensity.
stuck at 75kg x5 for several months
wat do
bench is stuck at 108x5
fucking presses
>>36860570
Either e-statting or he has been working out for awhile now and only just started the ss routine two months ago
>>36861894
If anything, you're going to need longer breaks
Don't try to turn lifting into cardio by taking short breaks. That's Crossfit shit. You're gonna fuck up you form and take a trip to Snap City
Every workout is the press as far as my body is concerned
40 for 7
180 for 3-5 reps.
But It's after a full body calisthenics thing, and 3x 3-5 reps deadlift.
I might be able to do more, I might not.
I've never actually tried.
But I can do full fingertip L pushups and I weigh about 280 or so. So I might be a bit stronger
>>36861934
Gotcha. I think ill go for 3 minute breaks for now at my current weight and how that works. May add more.
Seeing as my original info is spotty, is there really much of a difference in intensity and energy usage between 3x5 at higher weight and 5x5?
Cheers anon
>>36861870
I take 5 for squats and diddlies. to each their own
>>36860115

Recovering fatty, cutting at -800. 75lbs for reps, it's fucking embarrassing
>>36861923
Or he's push pressing and not doing strict The Press
anyone else here get hemorrhoids from ohp? I've got some really bad ones and I think it's from lifting
>>36862083
I just find that my shoulders need that long. I'd rather take longer breaks and move more weight
I do 90 pounds for about 4 reps with more time under tension during the descent. How weak am I?
>>36859072
110 x 5/3/2
Hurt my back. It kept popping when I tilted my torso forward when I stretched. I've been told I need to brace my core.
205 1rm
>>36863453
Basically what you wanna do is breathe into your stomach, tense your abs kinda like a standing plank, and squeeze your glutes. Guarantee your OHP will go up just from bracing and working on form
>>36859072
Currently I do 115lbs. 3x5
1pl8 3x5
How is everyone here so weak? I did 1pl8 on my first day. My only experience was handstand pushups when I was in high school.

Wrong, I'm a recovering skinnyfat
>>36859511
Fourthing this shit right here, niggas.
Also try that bulldog grip. I used to get stuck at 65lb when i started SL, and after 2 months I'm up to 1pl8.
>tfw used to do 3x10 (sets x reps) of 100lbs
>start stalling at 105lbs
>can only do 3x5 of 105lbs and 110lbs
what do? should i continue doing 3x5 and go to 115lbs? or deload and try to do 3x10 of 105lbs?
>>36864766
Eat more. Fix form. Increase frequency.

Been lifting for 2 months, 2nd time OHP today after 5by5 see what max is work up to 145...
>>36860560
How is that? DB weights increases is 5lb, and smallest BB plates in my gym are 5lb as well. So far I really like DB better because I can push myself to the limit with no fear of fail
you gym doesn't have 2.5lbs BB weights?
>>36865078
2.5 on each side adds up to 5, fampai
I refuse to believe it's possible to train with more weight on one side of the barbell than the other
>>36864925
Some gyms have 2.5lb plates, and I've seen 1.25lb plates on Amazon.
>>36865078
No. 5lbs is the smallest in both Gold's Gym near me
are you supposed to clean and jerk into press stature traditionally? I know the racks just have a hight bar normally but if I wanted to go old fashion.
>>36865105
3 or 4 of those heavy clips adds up to about 2lbs
>tfw finally got to 125lb 3x5
Learn the hip shift, it helps so much.

>>36860124
Work on your lockout position. Retract your scapula, push the outsides (pinkies) of your hands forwards and pull the inside ( pointer) inwards, as if bending the bar.
Good luck m8.
>>36861384
I don't lock my legs because it fucks with keeping core tension during the lean-back. I make sure not to push-press though.
>>36863687
We actually do the lifts with proper form instead of egolifting.
Fuck off with your shitty bait, 7/10 made me reply.
Probably like 150-155 @ 175
I can push press 2plaet though. Push press is also a lot more fun IMO because you can throw around so much more weight.
>>36859072
Don't know my 1RM, but I did 72.5 kg at 3 rep/8 series @ 90kg bw.
