I know OHP is one of those exercises that more people tend to fail on, but how often should this happen?
I am doing SL 5x5 and I have failed reps for OHP twice in the last two weeks.
So out of the three times I've done OHP in those weeks, two of the times I have missed reps and had to stall my progression, rather than up the weight for the next workout.
Should I deload?
I've been lifting for only about a month, and my OHP is at 60 lbs.
Also, should I add weight to my deadlift?
I am lifting 155 lb, and I feel like I could add more.
I know it is only 1x5, but it shouldn't be easy for me, should it?
Wouldn't it make sense to add enough weight that I couldn't do a second set?

Eat more! Adding mass helps break through upper body lift plateaus. Also, if you "deload", keep the volume up by adding in reps, so like 5x8 or 4x8. Volume is the best thing for bench/ohp. Check your form, post a vid to get it critiqued. dont be afraid to add 10 pounds to your deadlift per workout. You could easily get to 2 plates before you need to lower the progression. And adding more volume is fine, 1x5 is a little memey so 2x5 or 3x5 is fine as long as form is decent.

thanks for the help, man.
I've been trying to eat as much as I can.
Do you think two (smallish)chicken breasts a day, as well as one scoop on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, is enough protein?
I'll definitely try to add more to the DL too.
I usually end up doing one or two more sets anyway, and I sometimes do the weight for the next workout, so I am more prepared.

the only way you get stronger on OHP is doing more fucking OHP. add 90% 3x5 OHP on your bench days. do sets on your rest days. also add accessories that build OHP - lat pull downs and concentration curls. if you don't have a pull down station do lying tricep extensions or skull crushers etc. instead of focusing on increasing weight, progressively overload other ways - by doing more sets or more reps per set. progress is all about riding out failure. you progress by exerting yourself to failure repeatedly.

is that OC?
I like it
I'll try that though, about the extra sets etc..
Thanks for the advice.
