>>39859485
HAVE A STRONG CORE

OHP IS A CORE EXERCISE

>>39859485

Squeeze glutes, brace core. Already doing that? Squeeze them harder.

squeeze abs while going up, its formidable

I was repping 105 after a month of lifting but I needed 17 more months to hit 1pl8 for a single. It's the hardest lift to make progress on. It's my favorite lift by far though.

Hit 135 my 2nd time in the gym for a double. A full year later, i can hit 135 for 4, but cant rep 140 for 1.

70 kg OHP for one rep last week. Pretty good progress for 6 months imo. But I've got them short ass arms.

Do that thing Rippetoe teaches. The hip bounce thing

>>39859738
There is a huge fuckign wall waiting for everyone who OHPs regularly. Its just in different places.

>>39859738
You have to have smaller differences in your weight, if you can do 135 for 4, try finishing your reps with push presses to increase endurance, and maybe do a few with 136 or 137

Bench is fucking stupid. Oh look at me I can press something while laying down with a ton of leg drive.

While standing press is literally just putting something overhead, it's mainly as fuck.

>>39859340

Fuck you pussy. No excuses.

I mean you probably haven't done any challenging physical activities in your life before this or you are a very spooky skeleton.
After 60kg being my max I stopped any kind of training for a year (medical reasons) then went back and I lifted 80kg that's 18 to 19 years old. Tfw still in puberty

>Not a strict press tho no matter what rippletits says.

You're wrong. The Press™ uses a HORIZONTAL hip movement to move your body around the bar.

In any OHP, you have to resolve the issue of your head being in the way. A slight movement at the hips is must safer than bobbing your head back and forth like a chicken.

As long as there is no leg drive and the bar moves from the chest to full sanding lockout, a strict press has been achieved.

Or you could not be a smartass faggot, do it proper and seated and not overcomplicate shit. This is /fit/. This is bodybuilding. The strong fat men should fuck off.

>>39861836
Except the hip movement doesn't move your body around the bar. All it does is give you a boost to move the bar and then it makes up other "benefits"

>>39861201
This is the craziest shit to me.
I can do 1pl8 for reps no problem.
add 10lb.
can barely do 1

>>39861934
>This is /fit/. This is bodybuilding.
Oh, okay, so the weak fat men should tell us what to do.

The best thing I ever did to boost my overhead press was something Bill Starr wrote.

Start doing triples, 5 sets of 3. Try to hit PRs this way. After your last set, do a light set to near-failure (don't push it, just stop when the rep gets slow). Then, do 3 sets of 10 dips. Unweighted if you're new to them, Weighted if you are experienced.

This brought my press from 205 to 260 and my bench press from 335 to 375 (I weigh 255).

> horizontal hip movement exerts force upwards

are you retarded?

>>39860293
>you use your legs to push something off your chest

The trick is behind the neck pressing at high volume for muscle development combined with lower volumes of strict OHP for strength

This has taken my max from 80kg to just short of 2pl8 on The Press

>>39861288
you're right, i'm a skelly and was extremely sedentary

>>39862709
I always feel the exact same way, then I get in the gym ready to crush it and the weight won't fucking go over my head. Then a day later I'm pumped to do more OHP after I failed my last progression.

>>39864185

>>39864695
Wrong. Behind the neck presses are perfectly safe.
Injuries are due to stupidity

>>39861973

>Except the hip movement doesn't move your body around the bar.

The hip movement is horizontal. The purpose is to create a slight lean back that gets your head of out of the way. As soon as the bar clears your head, you straighten out and lock out the weight with a shrug.

The Press™ is not a lean back press/standing inclined bench press. In those movements, there is no full vertical lockout with a strug at the top.

alright lads since it's a new year it's time for some new shoulders. Try what I call the Ahren's press.

>Grab a dumbbell you think you can get about 6-8 reps with
>set up next to a sturdy stationary object such as a rack, weight tree etc
>Clean the dumbbell to your shoulders with a NEUTRAL grip
>Now grab the object with your free hand and flex your glutes, brace your abs and squeeze the shit out of it
>press that fucking dumbbell overhead as many times as you can

I dunno why, but the shit works, brahs. I was teamnoshoulders for the longest and doing this for a few weeks blew my shit up. Work up into 60-75 lbs dumbbells and you'll see what I mean.

>>39865464

>>39864097
Have you even seen rip's vids?

He shows that it moves. Because you don't move your fucking body in a perfect parallel line in a way that doesn't effect something resting on your shoulders/hands. Rip's entire purpose of the hump is that it breaks the dead momentum and then you push. Because the bar has moved without you doing anything in your shoulders.

I was unaware your shoulders could react like a cats head when your body moves 2 feet below it. Fucking gopro shoulders over here
