I hit an OHP plateau of 60kg. Been progressing at linear pace every workout now I am stuck failing on my third set of 5X5 with 60 for 4 sessions. I tried doing push-presses and then slow negatives after failing with 60, doing higher volume with 55 and 57.5 but nothing helps. I'm making linear progress on all my other lifts. What do?

Similar to this guy only I'm at a bench press plateau - can't 3x5 above 75kg for the life of me. I've heard it can help to deload and add volume - any suggestions? Maybe 5x5 72.5kg, or 3x8 70kg?
With OHP it's often form. Use a belt and SQUEEZE those abs, butt, quads. Bending at the waist, lean back just enough so the bar doesn't knock your chin but no more, keep your centre of gravity over your mid-foot. There's a great Rippetoe form video on YouTube.
Assuming an ideal cut, what is the ratio of fat lost to lean body mass lost per lb/kg of mass lost?
How often do you guys do your lifts?
whatever happened to that asian tripfag girl who wet her pants doing a deadlift? i think her username started with s.
This is not fitness related, but health related. I think I have hemorrhoids. There's some sort of swollen lump near my asshole. Anyone got some advice, tips or stories they want to share about this subject?
All over the internet I can read that eating more smaller portions through the day is better than eating fewer, bigger ones. But I work a three shift system, and I don't really have time to eat every three-four hours, so I just eat a big dinner (made with healthy stuff, I want my main source of carbs to be veggies, proteins from chicken/fish and fats from olive oil, cottage cheese). Then at work I eat a salad with chicken/fish or eggs or a whole-grain bread sandwich. For snacks I usually eat nuts, bananas, oranges, apples.
So, long story short: is my diet fine with above ingredients, but all crammed in two-three big meals, instead 4-6 recommended by most sources?
I started avoiding pasta and rice to lose fat quicker (I have high BF%), but if it sounds like a dumb idea, I can reintroduce it into my diet again.
Also I run regularly, 4-5 times a week, started 4 months ago.
>Anyone got some advice
yeah, go to a motherfuckin' doctor you fuckin' chimp
I've been "lifting" for a year (quotes due to shit diet and going straight from 3day whole body to 4day u/l splt, not squatting freeweight until 2 months ago, etc) and this is my general progress:
bench 12rm 165
squat 6rm 245
ohp 9rm 105
dont deadlift (never learned, just squat every lower body day)
bodyweight ~245 to ~188 (started eating 1800 cal/day so i can lose these moobs)
the question: is my progress suitable for a 1 year /fat/?
Should i just focus on learning how to diet properly so i can look good or should i drastically restructure my training program
p.s. if i stopped doing high rep range bench at 165, what should my bew weight/reps be
