Here's me.

I hid the lifts because it tells the routine, doesn't it?

How long have you trained?

>>40647134

I didn't think so. I'm OP and I train olympic lifting, which is why no bench pressing.

>>40647227

Heh. I see. ;)

>>40647240
I'm disappointed. I looked forward to press over 250 pounds in OHP natty without being some Slovak freak. Still impressive lifts.

>>40647254
You can, if thrall can do it you can do it, and isuf could do it easily if he was willing to put on more weight.
I'm just a filthy cheating GDE who roids to help with chronic injuries (hence the lack of benching).

I do 145 5x5 atm :(. I'm thinking of lowering volume to 3x5 and add accessory lifts. Any tips? OHP and deadlifts are my favorite lifts and I suck at them.

>>40647297

I found switching to seated dumbbell presses for 4x12 for a little white helped as accessories to OHP

>>40647308
Would you twist your arms mid-lift and bring the DBs together?

>>40647331

No just straight up and down pretty much.

>>40647329
Inefficient brosplit at the cable machines.
>>40647335
Thx huge brah. Now to make sure, you didn't do OHP and did seated presses for a "little while". Can you define "little while"

>>40647297
If you want to get better at a motor pattern do it more.
You could try doing what this guy said >>40647308 which will work in if your problem is your stabilizers.
You could also try doing push presses after you can no longer strict press the weight to get a bit more volume in.

Just look for ways to get as much volume in as possible, with as high a frequency as possible (3+x a week would be ideal if you can recover that fast).
Another thing to keep in mind is that you could be dealing with having a really weak upper back, which could be limiting your ohp.

>>40647329
That's a strong posterior delt you have there

>>40647350

I didn't really do it for more than two weeks. I basically did the first two weeks of Canditos 6 week program and stopped OHP'ing for that time and just did seated DB press for 3/5 days a week for aforementioned sets and reps. Increased eight kilos in that time and translated to a new 5kg 5x5 PR on OHP at the third week.

I didn't stick with it long enough to see any more but I was seriously staling on my 5RM and after basically 3 weeks I could do my old 5RM for sets. The extra volume and focus on anterior and alteral delts without having to worry about core stabilization and lumbar support is what did it I think.

>>40647376
I do SL so I do it 3x a week/2.

Mmm my deadlifts do horribly suck, and I can squat my DL so legs aren't the problem. This weak upperback thing makes sense. So I should just keep on trucking and "cheat" the reps I can't do? What about lowering weight after I'm done and do some more?

>>40647416
ty, will give it a try next plateau

>>40647448
that could work too
You just want as much volume as possible I think, and back off sets are really helpful for that as well.

>>40647461

Happy lifting my friend.

You have almost every colour on there. That takes real effort.

Do you train that way so you can more easily hunt other monsters?

Is your riverine based around munching on herbivorous plants interspersed with running around eating velociraptors? Isn't that the best way to achieve T. rex mode?

Add weight every day. 3*10.

You should get linear gains for a long time.
