>OHP only getting worse year after year
oh man if this is how you deal with a plateau in the beginning you are really never going to make it. How about not checking your max for three months and then only going up 15 pounds.
I've literally been plateaud on OHP for about 6 months now
My shoulders are getting bigger
My dumbbell military press went from 30lb dumbbells to 60lb dumbbells
MY OHP HOWEVER IS STILL STUCK AT THE SAME 125LBS IT ALWAYS HAS BEEN
EVEN MY FUCKING PUSH PRESS HAS GONE UP IM LOSING MY MIND
>only 2 weeks
i wish i can go back to noob gainz city
Your form sucks
Deload idiot
>Have man boobies
>Cutting just to get rid of them
>Watching all of my lifts drop slowly
Mine only goes up every few months.
based sminem
Nope
Core is tight
Take a deep breath
Going in a straight line
Forearms almost exactly under the bar
>a straight line
>Forearms almost exactly under the bar
You are going to learn that strength is not linear. In the beginning it is. and that's awesome, but over time plateauing is part of getting stronger.
How much do you even OHP anyway weaboo faggot? 100lbs?
So what am I supposed to do bro?
I want to OHP 2 plates one day and I can't even do one
It hurts
Your form sucks, you probably think it's good, but it's not
Not him, but hows your grip? Your palm is supposed to be under the bar, I learned that the hard way.
Jeepers, that's 415 lbs if my vision doesn't fail me.
>mfw listening to NBA Warriors game and I can hear Rammstein as the arena music
Thereabouts, that's a push press not a strict ohp, but his ohp pr is 405 iirc anyway
Yep
Doing suicide grip
I don't know what's failing me
If my form sucks then idk which part of it I'm messing up
Yeah, Klokov is a god
His strict OHP I believe is just under 400lbs
Here’s my OHP setup.
>Approach bar and take a firm grip with my thumbs just outside my shoulders.
>Make sure bar is sitting in the heel of my palm and bring my arms in to pack them against my lats. Forearms should be vertical.
>Take deep breath and brace core, squeeze my quads and glutes as hard as I can.
>Squat the weight out of the rack to keep all the tightness and tension from my setup. Don’t pull the bar off the rack.
>Take shoulder width stance, point toes slightly outward and thrust my hips forward. If your abs, ass and quads are tight, there should be a rebound from the hip thrust and the bar may slightly drop for a second. After the rebound, press the bar straight up in a vertical line.
>Keep entire body tight throughout the lift and if you need to take another breath, wait until the bar is overhead, take your breath and then bring the bar down.
I always thought the hip thrust was some dumb Rippetoe shit but its helped my OHP go up.
Thank you for taking the time to type all that
Tomorrow is my push day I'll be sure to try it out
No problem dude, OHP is a stubborn bitch. Also, squeeze the bar as hard as you can the entire time you’re lifting to recruit as many muscle fibers as possible.
>take 10 day vacation

What the flying fuck Veeky Forums

>watch footage, make webms and post them on an anonymous polynesian underwater basket weaving irc channel
also, something that might help is ohp from a split position, one foot forwards and one back
Upper body repaired itself and then when this was done and no new stimulus was provided it began to regress, while lower body and back was slightly under recovered before you stopped and needed time to repair sufficiently. Mix in possible form degredation for upper body more than lower and you have a possible explanation. Really it could be anything though. Depends on what you did before, and how you approach your new beginning after.
Deadlift strength depends more on the state of your nervous system compared to upper body lifts, especially when doing 5 reps or lesa due to the amount of weight being moved. This may be why your DL improved after not working out for a little while.
oh wow a whole two weeks woe is you you fucking novice faggot
you need to do more volume
not more shoulder press, not push press, not meme variation x or meme variation y, you need to do overhead press and do more of it
doubles and triples for multiple sets one day, higher reps another day
