Pointless Q. #235566

sounds like bragging, not that there's anything wrong with that

>>35155438
I want anons experience with it, my lifts are not great

>>35155430
What does 1pl8 and 2pl8 mean guise?

how long is a piece of string

>>35155619
on a form check day at your local gym you get special kind of ribbons depending on how good your form is, the ribbons look kinda like weightlifting plates so there comes the "1 plate" and "2 plate"
the higher platecount you have the better your form got judged as, 3 plate is a good starting point on most lifts

>>35155633
depends on how long is it

>>35155633
however long you want it to be, friend ;)

I hit a 135lb dumbell clean and push press for a double last night. ASK ME ANYTHING

>>35155811

What do you think about international intervention in Syria?

Anyone have any idea how much that would be if you're using dumbells? Can't OHP in my gym.

>>35155811
Do you think Scipio Africanus or Hannibal was the greater General?

>>35155932

Hannibal what kind of fucking question is that.

>>35155943
Scipio beat hannibal in the end m8.

>>35155911
It's a must

>>35155932
Hannibal

>>35155918
No direct equations lol. My dumbell clean and press is a little under half my barbell

>>35155951
Everyone looses eventually

>>35155951
does anyone on fit ohp 100kg?

>>35155951

Doesn't matter, Hannibal overall was the better general.

He was one of the few generals who not only was intelligent as fuck, but an expert at making his opponent do what he wanted, and creative in his strategies.

He lost in the end, but so did many generals.

>>35155956
at least one person does, i think his Trip name was Rollin or something like that, he's a muscular black guy with some very impressive stats.

>>35155956

And yeah I do actually incidentally overhead press > 100kg despite only coming to this thread cause I was b8d by somebody unironically asking was Scipio better than Hannibal.

Most I've ever OHP off a clean was about 135kg.

>>35155967
oh yeah hes fooking jacked, I have t-rex arms so hopefully will get it

>>35155977
Im the guy whose bait you took, I'm new to lifting but docent OHPing off a clean make the OHP easier?

>>35155977
mirin, bw?

>>35155956
I do. And yes I'm totally bragging in this thread and no I don't care

>>35155984
not at all

>>35155984

Uhh, not that I noticed.

I had a very strong deadlift by the time I transitioned into fucking around with olympic style lifts.

My deadlift was 250kg no belt/straps, so I to begin with had a very strong back, speed, solid core, good legs, etc.

My bench was about 140kg so I had decent triceps and shoulder stability.

And my military press at the time was legitimately already at 100kgs, and that's military press for reps.

>>35155990
To increase in the OHP, did you have to do any exercises that weren't OHP, for example some tricep work or some assistance exercise?

Or did you simply do OHP to improve OHP/

>>35155988

At the time I was like 120kg, pretty fat, but also pretty muscular.

At the moment I'm < 100kg and I still power clean & press about 120kg for 1 rep.

>>35156005
thanks for the clarification.

>>35156015
depends on your weakness. There's a load of shit I personally did simply because in strongman if you suck at overhead you'll most likely bomb a competition (some comps have 2 out if 4 or 5 overhead lifts)

Specifically I target upper back, obliques, core, grip, triceps and shoulders all with accespries besides simply just pressing

>>35156015

OHP is completely reliant on having a huge back, strong triceps, great shoulder stability, strong core, etc ,etc.

Notice how that is pretty much every muscle in the torso, because that's what you need to work up to bring your OHP up.

I never found anything that improved my OHP max other than bringing my deadlift & bench up.

>>35156066
>>35156069
thanks guys.

>>35156076
I also wrote a 12 page workshop on the overhead press if you or anyone else wants it

how do i OHP heavy without feeling like im gonna break in half backwards

>>35156091
yeah pass us a link please, i'll take anything else you have too/

>>35155430
Obtaining a good OHP is a long, hard road.

I reccomend ohping often, about 3 times a week and also doing lots of triceps work

>>35156104
Great advice bro.

Obtaining a good jump is a long, hard road.

I recommend jumping often, about 3 times a week and also doing lots of hamstring work.

Ive gtg right now, i'll try it with a pc later.


Thanks for the info.

>>35156125
Now you're just baiting

>>35155619
1 pl8 means 1 pl8 (20 kg/45lbs plates) on each side of the bar.
1pl8= 60kg
2pl8=100
3pl8=140

Some people argue you shouldn't be counting the bar since the pl8s have holes in them which counters the bar weight :^

>>35155619

1pl8 = 60kg
2pl8 = 120kg

1 plate = 1 of the biggest plates either side of barbell

chucks as weightlifting shoes and stronglifts programm for a beginner yay or nay?

tell him to piss off

>>35156512
alright... iguess?

>>35155430
1 x bodyweight OHP is strong as fuck m8. Don't let /fit/ autists make you feel otherwise. Esp if it actually is a strict press.
