am I the only one who enjoys Overhead Press (inb4 THE PRESS) more than any other exercise? With proper form, it's so incredibly fun. It feels like your entire upper body is working in tandem.
Press + weighted dip > bench.

i hate benching and love ohp. ohp is just really satisfying. also, i can work to failure without worrying about my actual safety.

Is it ok to squat down just a bit before pushing/when catching it or is that push press

Sounds like a push press to me.
copy paste from an advice I gave someone:
Bend your knees slightly and keep them from moving throughout movement. Then push your ass in and tighten your abs and shoulders. Make sure your elbows are parallel and pointing down, rest the bar on your chest. Now, explode upwards, (don't just slowly raise the bar), and once the bar is past your face push your head and forward slightly so now your hands are fully extended and the the bar is in line with the back of your head.

Yes, I love OHP, but FORM IS EVERYTHING
You HAVE to squeeze glutes and brace core as hard as you can
Totally fucked myself from a momentary lapse in form
Don't go to snap city like me

Finally hit 100lbs 3x5 OHP but my legs are really fucking shaky during the last rep and the lockout is almost impossible. What do?

Flex your glutes and drive your head under the bar, make sure you're bracing properly and that your bar path is good

Thanks, I suppose my bracing was pretty shit during my last rep. I noticed that my back was very hyperextended when I re-racked the weight.
