I'm a month in and my OHP has been 80-85lbs x 5 reps for 2 weeks now. Am I stalling because my other lifts are shit?

weak legs and lower back, also I have no muscle mass. 6'1, 160lbs
Your OHP is way too high in relation to your other lifts actually.
As weak as it is, it is your strongest lift. Don't worry about it going up, just keep lifting.
Couple obvious questions:
You eating more than enough?
You sleeping enough?
You have any injuries?
You scared of hurting yourself from lifting?
Assuming you're doing SS (probably not though, seeing that Romanian deadlift number) and in the age group 18-30, your total progress is a bit too slow.

>You eating more than enough?
pretty sure I am, haven't been counting calories though
>You sleeping enough?
I usually get only 5 hours sleep at night but balnce it off with ~1-2hrs during the day. Uni has been hard for me.
>You have any injuries?
no
>You scared of hurting yourself from lifting?
Yes, but only with squats and deadlifts. My lower back is super weak and felt weird after doing 1pl8 deads. I haven't done deadlifts in two weeks now and replaced them with RDL to strengthen my core.
Youre other lifts are way too low.
Its also probably a form issue. Be careful that you arent using your legs at all in the OHP to give urself a little bounce to help get that weight up. You could be cheating the lift which is why its higher in proportion to the others.
Look up form vids for tips on how to improve.

different anon, but start counting, when i started working out about a month ago i thought i was getting enough calories without counting. then one time i tried counting and was only get 1100 on avage... i hope i make it
>>38980607
100% not cheating on OHP, I'm bracing my core and doing it properly. I think it may be higher than my other lifts because instead of squatting every workout, I OHP.
>>38980631
Do you use an app to count calories or do it all by hand? I hope you make it to bro.
Your problem is that you are training like a man
All my lifts are progressing other than OHP, still stuck at 90lbs for like 3 weeks now.
My arnold press is progressing though. Does it mean I have to work on my form?
>>38980194
it might be your form, it might be your weak ass, it might be any of a million things
1. how are you benching more than you squat? sounds like twigs for legs.
2. you OHP ~ as much as me
yet I bench 135, squat 215 and DL 245 for reps.
3. I get you're a month in, but calories count the entire time through bro. not just once you're huge. try counting them and you'll be good.
4. check your form, and make a program
5. recovery is important. I only do each lift once a week. don't OHP too much or you'll injure yourself.
6. I'd be more worried about my legs than my arms tbqh
give me height and weight plz

Ayy I'm 6'1 and 160 as well.
Like others have said count your calories. Given your numbers you need to focus on getting form down, eating, SLEEP and continuing to increase as much as you can when you can.
Get melatonin to help sleep if you need it.

this. I use melatonin from time to time. also 6'1" but I'm about 165-170 lbs
>>38981178

>>38981178
>only do each lift once per week
Stop giving advice

Are you shilling this guy melatonin because his OHP is stalling?
Get a proper healty fucking life and you won't need that stuff.
>>38980194
Could be your routine. Go find out shit about the 5 factors: frequency, volume, intensity, rest and repspeed.
Get a good routine, strive for perfect form with youtube vids or ask qualified people and don't forget to GET YOUR FUCKING NUTRITION RIGHT
>>38981178
>recovery is important. I only do each lift once a week. don't OHP too much or you'll injure yourself.
you know nothing about lifting, please stop giving other people advice
this is the worst advice ever for pressing fuck me
>>38980656
OHP every workout may be part of your problem. If you aren't getting adequate recovery time then you're just pissing in the wind. Do SS. Don't be a bitch about squats and dl. Start low weight and work up 5-10 lbs per workout as you feel comfortable. Watch Rippetoes videos on form.
Also, advice from a former 6' 2" 150 lb spooky skeleton: drink a protein shake with some carb gainer thrown in every day. It'll help you make up the calories you clearly need.

even when i started i wasn't this shitty.
