>>40338382

it really depends on your knee anatomy,

but most people tell you to squat with a wider than shoulder width stance, this is wrong, try not overestimating the distance between your feet.

also don't have both your feet facing parallel, have it at an angle, like a V shape, this puts more natural stance and less strain on your meniscus.

Is it ok to bench press and ohp on the same day?

>>40341476
is it ok? yes.

is it best for strength development? no.

>>40338598

I hate bicep work

So

I have been going to my current gym for over a year and I have not once, not ever, seen anyone else performing the overhead press.

Am I a freak?

>>40338838
Delaying progress in what? In mass, that's debatable, in your standing press max, you're wrong

I OHP almost as much as I can bench. I see all these people talking about how much they struggle with OHP and I wonder wtf is wrong with me.

What is your routine?

Are you fat?

>>40344149
I'm literally in the exact same predicament.

I've been OHP'ing 55kg for as long as I can fucking remember now, it just doesn't go up.

I went from 5 reps to 8 reps with 55kg

Still can't do more than 3 reps with 57.5

>>40344157
I do nothing special for my shoulders except facepulls and OHP. I put all my work into my chest and my bench still blows compared to OHP.

I'm 5'10 195, I'd like to go down another ~10 or so lbs but overall, I don't consider myself fat. My shoulders pretty much dominate my physique though. I've been lifting almost a year now, going into my 11th month

>time for crunches

>>40344208
Nope, I did GSLP (The Phrak's one as that was all that was around) for 6 months. Then I did a pretty normal Upper/Lower for the last 4 months. I don't have a dedicated shoulder day. 1 upper day is 3x5 the other upper date is 3x12 @ usually around 65% of what I did for my 3x5.

Beyond that, I do face pulls (3x15) every upper day. Since I work out at home, I was mostly just doing band pull aparts for the first ~6-7 months only recently got the attachment to do facepulls properly.

I'm thinking of switching to doing the 531 as pretty much all my lifts have stalled

>>40341364
manlet

>>40344195
I'm pretty similar to this.

I weigh 160, 5'11 and my OHP is 165 but my bench sucks so fucking bad. My 1rm is 185. 5x5 at 145 lbs is a good challenge for me.

How can I advance my bench faster?

>>40338378
i didn't OHP for 6 months, came back and hit a new PR

that's the power of not doing meme lifts and just benching with much more volume and frequency

No way any of you idiots are strict form OHPing within 20% of your bench press 1RM. It is physically impossible.

Good lord people on this board are idiots, I have seen maybe one person in my life aside from myself OHP over 165 and he as well as myself definitely both took steroids, and we have two scrawny fuckers who can barely bench their bodyweight claiming elite OHPs.

I hate this board.

185x6

>>40344344
I've been OHPing for 6 years dude. Calm down. It's my favorite lift. I didn't feel the need to tell my whole life story but since you're spazzing out, I had an elbow injury and while it was recovering my bench went way down, hence why it is so far from my OHP. For some reason, probably biomechanics, my elbow didn't hurt as muh OHPing as it would benching, hence why the weight never dropped as much as my bench did while recovering.

Chill the fuck out. You take steroids already. How the fuck you gonna cheat and still whine? Faggot.

>>40344344

You're right. Yesterday or the day before I saw someone claim they dead lifted over 500 pounds day 1. They do not even know what a credible lie looks like.

OHP is my archenemy
I have no problems with anything else
progress is slow af

>>40344444

>>40344438
there is a guy on here, norsefat, who pulled 225kg his first time trying a deadlift

i believe there could be even bigger genetic freaks out there

but they probably wouldn't be on 4chan

>>40344378
You didn't OHP (a lift dominant on multiple caps of thr shoulder) for 6 months and just did bench (a lift dominant on the chest and anterior deltoids) and came back to do 185 by 6?

How much do you weigh?

>>40344470
OHP is not dominant on multiple "caps of the shoulder", as you put it

it's dependent heavily upon the anterior delts (more than bench) and triceps (much less than bench)

this is why OHP is a meme lift, it trains a muscle group any press trains, just slightly harder

at the expense of adequately training the triceps

and it hits a tiny bit of upper chest that isn't even really notable

idk why it gets memed so hard other than rippetardism, it's a fun as fuck lift but if you want to actually build muscle mass and strength benching is a better option

Same. It doesn't even feel that satisfying.

>>40341548
I only do it because I don't want to injure my elbows again. It's so boring and I can't relate to people who get excited to go to the gym and do 3 different variations of curls and tricep work.

>>40338382
https://youtu.be/03ie_khLCBI

Try that and make sure you are squatting the stance most natural to you.

Failing that as someone else mention it could be hips. Look hip hip flexor mobility. Could also be glutes or ankle mobility.

Try squatting with small plates under your heels, see if that is more comfortable. If so get lifting shoes.

>>40345108
there isn't one, OHP is arguably the best shoulder pressing variation - use the most weight, doesn't suffer from the drawbacks of DBs, most incrementally loadable

but that doesn't mean you should treat it as an equal to the bench press when it doesn't involve anywhere near as much muscle mass

and it also doesn't mean OHP is not primarily front delts - you will still need lateral raises or some other side delt, and rear delt work

Love OHP, but this nigger PT gets furious with me, tells me I'll break my cuffs and shoulders because I do proper form, tries to get me into a sumo wide grip, barbell always above head, swinging with the mometum and quarter repping (bar doesn't move a single inch).

>>40345108
face pulls

Does anybody ever do Viking meme presses with the calf machine? They look fun but I dont want people at the gym to think im a retard.
