Anecdotal evidence, but shoulderlets should try switching from barbells to dumb bells.

Similar feelings here. Thought I'd have massive shoulders when I got up to 125lb OHP but they really didn't look like much. Started doing 3x8 lateral raises after OHP and my shoulders have started to grow a lot more.

Why does god hate my pecs so much, pls send help

>stuck at a 95 for 5 OHP for months
just shoot me now

eat more

>just started lifting two weeks ago
>my lifts aren't really going up despite me being a novice because i'm on a 500 kcal deficit

just kill me already, this isn't a life worth living

same
i'm 1pl8 and i'm fucking 6'3
but i've only starting seriously working out for a about a month and a week.

Hey.
You.
Yeah. You're still doing better than everyone who isn't trying.
And even if you aren't happy just remember: don't compare your behind the scenes work to someone else's highlight reel.

lol 3 months here i can do 185 bench press, 2 reps

and 80-90 ohp

1 month i was struggling with 95lbs

Gay

Lol, you've got other problems. You should be making huge form and CNS gains.

You fellas realize it takes a long time to develop decent sized pecs, right? I'm 6'3 and do 170lbs 5x5 and have a small chest.

The gym I go to only allows seated OHP. You can't even OHP in the power rack or deadlift areas. If you're not sitting someone comes up and stops you and tells you to find a seat or they escort you out.

Sucks dick, but that's college.

If I'm 30lbs dumbbells OHP 3x8 what is my OHP?

>been unable to progress past 50 lbs OHP since I started lifting back in april
>been doing 3x10

should I do 5x5?

60kg OHP for 10+ reps

Everytime I do OHP I have at least one person come up to me and tell me they're impressed by me lifting that.

For what purpose??

thanks for the captivating blogpost my man

Eh fuck it. Normies think you're buff and anyone stronger than you had to start out weak too, so they understand.

re evaluate your form and try doing OHP each day assuming you're doing AxBxAxx

only takes 36 hours for your muscles to be ready to lift again, don't miss those shoulder gains bro

How is your bench higher then everything else. Post pics

also check your diet, don't go lower than maintenance or small deficit if you're trying to lose fat. Get as close to 1g protein per 1lb bodyweight as possible. It's fine if you can only get .8, just get as close as possible. Gotta do diet and exercise, not just one.

>Hey.
>You.
>Yeah.

>135lb bench
>been this for 2 years

Look me in the eyes and tell me not to kill myself

I've never done OHP, deads or squats in my life so they're really low. Only been doing them like twice now. I did P90x in the past though and it doesn't do jack shit for the legs, probably why my numbers are wonky.

1 rep 1 pl8 not worth possibly ending your lifting career user

To be fair, I'm drinking as I post.

*looks away*

fuck off ya cunt

It actually doesn't for me.
90kgs 3x5 of flat/incline/decline then 3x7 70kg close grip decline and to finish, heavy ass flys. My chest explodes disproportionate to the rest of my body. The only thing holding me back are my wrists and shoulder.

Godspeed senpai :^)

Holy shit lmao

I was squatting 135 as a 14 year old 125lb manlet in freshman year with zero prior experience

Some retard probably killed himself

It's not about how much you lift, but the results you get in your physique.

It's easy as fuck to progress in a lift with such a minimalist routine. If all I did was squats and deadlifts, with varying rep ranges and intensity, I'd probably get to 3/4 in a year, year and a half.

This user's right, the ultimate gains goblin is death.

I-I know that feel user..
130lb
40lb ohp
80lb bp
90lb squat
140lb deadlift

3rd month at the gym, not eating as much as I should.

Feels good man

The worst workout is the one you don't show up to. Keep at it, user. We're all gonna make it

>tfw your warmup weight for OHP is higher than most people's max

Good feel.

must suck going to a shit college

man im about 135 and i know how stupid it is, but im literally afraid to go to the gym because of how pathetically low i know my weights will be.

i bet i cant even bench press the bar

i mean shit i do some workouts at home with dummbbells that are only 28-35 lb (depending on waht weight i put on them) and thats all i can do for biceps, 2 arm tricep extensions, shrugs and bent over rows. i can do shoulder press the 28ers with my right arm but can barely even get 1 or 2 reps with my left

5'9 , 152lbs
Im a lot weaker than you, but I only started 2 weeks ago.
>deadlift 175lb 5 x 5
>bench 75lb 5x5
>front squat 75lb 5 x 5 (cant back squat, shoulder problems)
>ohp 65lb 5 x 5.
I hope i can get your lifts soon, keep it up

it's not where you start, it's where you finish.

lmao thats fucked up ignore those cunts
btw why does your college only allow seated

>75 lb ohp 4x8
>105lb bench 3x8 and struggling at that

if you can do like 8 good push ups with good form in a row, you can probably bench the bar. It will still feel weird though.

So why don't you pussy

How will I know I'm finished?

What if I already am finished?

Eh I can bench 285 and my chest sucks.

Until you're grinding your knees into the fucking ground doing the highest squat volume you can possibly recover from with 3+ session per week frequency with good form while being brutally honest with yourself about form, sleep, food, recovery and deload weeks just to put 10lbs on your squat, you're not even remotely close to your natty limit.

Pro tip: It's very very very hard to overtrain with too much volume, but easy as fuck to burn yourself out if you try to hit arbitrary numbers and arbitrary weight increases every week without increasing the amount of work you do just because Veeky Forums told you that you're not gonna make it unless you can squat 3 plates while only doing 6 sets a week.

haven't done max, but i do 5x5 60kg ohp and what made it go up and my shoulders popped were adding this to my shoulder day

You could have also just done more OHP if you wanted to be better at OHP. I know it sounds crazy but it's true.

>Been cutting
>Bench stuck at 160 3x5 for months
I figured I could push it a little bit more, is it stuck at this until I start to bulk? It's still so weak.

It may be very hard to overtrain, but too much volume can hinder your progress. Perhaps the most common problem for people who run TM, including me, is too much volume, which doesn't allow you to fully recover for the intensity day.

forgot to add sitting behind the head burns my shoulders a hell of a lot more than doing standing ohp, also for ohp i found suicide grip helped a lot too

don't want into t rex mode

biceps are extremely easy to build and you can do it outside of the gym

bench hits your tris really good which are bigger than your bis and pull-ups engage them too

realize that "curlbro" is a meme precisely because flanting dumbbells around in front of the mirror is not necessary as part of a whole body workout

Okay i'm a total beginner and my ohp is 88lb, but i can't even bench 135lb.

What gives? Is my bench just weak or my ohp stronger?

don't do them on the same day

I do both on the same day, but I always bench first, then OHP later.

I do accessories for the chest... incline bench, dumbbell flys, push ups, and nothing for shoulders but I don't know why my ohp is apparently stronger than my bench.

>i can't even bench 135lb.
6 sets

2 sets with 105 lbs and 4 sets with 115lbs

you will see that it will go up

Same, I just add 5-10 lbs every week.

swap out pushups for flat dbell

>1 hard set, 5 easy stets (5x5 at like 70% 1rm cmon buddy easy is an overstatement) and 2 piss easy sets on light day per week

That's significantly less volume than even SS, and SS is about half the squat volume and a quarter of the bench volume you'd be doing on a real strength routine written for intermediate powerlifters. Let's not even talk about deadlift volume. There are sheiko days where I've done 5 sets of deadlifts and 5 sets of deadlift off blocks in the same session, You're just not working hard enough.

>tfw everything else is going well, just hit 300lb diddly after 3.5 months having never done them before that
>OHP is still at 105 at a 5RM, can barely do 3x5 100
>symmetric strength gives me a -32% on my OHP because of this

I wanna die.

Long arms and shit programming. Squatting a lot makes your deadlift go up while OHP is barely trained.

Tits or GTFO

Yeah. Still doing SS + shit heaps of dumbbell accs at the end till I hit the 6 month mark. What else can I do for OHP?

>first time lifting
>babby weights, 5kg c&p, 10kg row
>next time 7kg, 15kg row
>gonna go for 10kg, 17/20kg next

One day I won't be using the primary-school bright coloured bitch stick. Doesn't feel all the great to be in the not-quite-weights section infront of the massive mirrors with the entire gym behind me, but it certainly helps motivate me.

...

More OHP. You'd have to change your routine entirely desu. You're already not doing the program and if you're doing a bunch of dumbbell accessory work I doubt your fitness goals align with SS anyway.

I struggled the bar at first and now i do 140 lbs. It just takes time.

I don't know

It's retarded, but half the gym is machines and the other (smaller) half is free weights, 6 benches, 3 places to deadlift and 5 places to squat. For a campus of like, 50000 people.

Seated OHP isn't terrible but I don't delude myself into believing I'm getting everything out of it. At least it has shame bars so if my shoulder decides to kick up mid-set I don't drop it through the floor.

Cool story fampai

>20 lbs for ohp

did you have a double mastectomy or something? Any ohp is still better than nothing though
