I did OHP for the first time and i felt like my back was gonna snap into 2. Any suggestions on improvement.
check your form
maybe you are leaning backwards and putting all the weight in your back
try putting less weight in the bar
>>37276901
Squeeze your glutes and quads and brace.
>>37276901
Less weight until your form is good. Squeeze glutes and core

Ok will do. Thanks

If all else fails, you can do seated OHP.

Hinge at the hips https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CnBmiBqp-AI
Fix your kinetic chain https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7fB1RFStEM
If your gym has a lifting belt, you can try using that as well.
>>37277038
I tried but it feelt realy uncomfortable.
>>37277071
should I realy take advice from riptoe. I might be a newfag and don't know a lot but his t-rex meme is worying
>>37277038
This helps but i notice i can do more seated than standing. I try to stay away from it because I feel like that means I must develop something lacking in the seated way (broscience)
>>37277071
Shoo shoo! back to your thread
>>37277086
In what way?
>>37277110
Rip is amazing, the gains I've seen on SS are ridiculous.
As long as you do the recommended accessory work there's no reason to have small arms on Starting Strength
>>37277110
>questioning trappy and rip
In all seriousness youre going to go far kid.
>>37276901
If you do anything for the first time you must research proper form like an autist and use very light weight for a while, then slowly increase the weight.
>>37277110
rips program is perfect for true novices, SS and practical program are incredible resources to learn from, and TM is a phenomenal intermediate program.
Also, skinny losers who claim they can't gain weight need gomad to be shut up and put into place.
>>37277120
It felt weird because i didnt know how to påosition myself, if i should have my back towards the seat. where i should keep the bar. I think i need to practive some more.
>>37277110
SS is shit and trappy is a shill, but the technical advice on lifts and form is sound from both.
>>37277110
Vid related trained with Rip for years.
>>37277284
That's exactly what you need to do. I know people make fun of it but check out bodybuilding.coms workout database they can help you with form.
>>37276901
Just work on your shoulder mobility more, because back compensate your lack of mobility.
>>37277348
>trained with Rip for years
yep, visible t-rex with ridiculous quads
>>37277508
Well yeah, if you wanna look like a twink with no legs you obviously shouldn't squat and deadlift 3x per week.

You know that the Russian regime/FSB runs a state roid program for all its athletes, right?
> By his own admission, Dr. Rodchenkov, who has a Ph.D. in analytical chemistry, used his expertise to help athletes properly use banned substances and go undetected, which he says was done at the behest of the Russian government. After years of trial and error, he said, he developed a cocktail of three anabolic steroids — metenolone, trenbolone and oxandrolone — that he claims many top-level Russian athletes used leading up to the London Olympics in 2012 and throughout the Sochi Games.

You're telling me Klokov is on roids? No that can't be truth!
>>37277609
both he and Mike O'Hearn are natty like they claim
for an Olympic athelete that's demeaning tho, everybody gotta question his big results
>>37277348
>>37277348
Fucking Justin. First and only man I actually have saved pictures of because his physiqueis "naturally" beautiful. No homo.
K, Some homo, but it's because I use his pictures as inspiration
ripp is the single ugliest ""strong"" weightlifter i've ever seen, I don't care how legit his advice seems to be, I don't want to end up looking anything like his fat dumpy ass
>>37277734
I honestly don't know where to start with that statement.
>>37277780
>listen my good advice kid you get big n strong like me ripp *pats belly, jiggling amplifies in frequency until gym windows break*
>>37277734
summer is here
>>37277796
dude loves his beer and barbecue
he's a 60 year old atheist libertarian from Texas who stopped giving a fuck about being lean and I respect his decision
>>37277848
he's also pretty fucking stronk
>>37277734
>I don't want to end up looking anything like his fat dumpy ass
Step 1: Don't overeat
Step 2: Don't get old
>>37276901
Look up Alan thrall' ohp video
>>37277874
>you have to get ugly when you get old
That only applies to people that don't lift and twinks on hormones who hit the wall hard.
>>37277690
Cause it's their job. They literally would be banned and shunned into poverty if they came out.
Technically Klokov could come out now that he's not competitive anymore, but his new job still kinda depends on his persona, popularity, and public image. He can't risk a dumb move like admitting to roiding and giving out olympic doping secrets for literally no reason at all. Too much risk, literally no benefits.
>>37277110
as a new lifter yes, but once you're intermediate and have good form then feel free to completely ignore both of them
>>37277874
>he's also pretty fucking stronk
that's not much compared to his younger days
he's had many surgeries and he's 60
If you have back pain it might not be that you are positioning yourself badly cause of the weight, it may be that you have bad posture coming into it.
I know my APT fucked with lots of my exercises.
>>37277909
> Too much risk
No doubt about that. He'd need to get his family out first and like you say his new career would suffer too.

yeah sure you try being "aesthetic" at over 60 without some sort of gear
