I must be retarded

Probably not much.
OHP is hard as fuck to progress on after 1pl8.
The only thing I would say, is do it more often. Shoulders recover fast and you can hit them often.

is 3 times a week enough? Also I bench on the same day too so could that conflict? Even though I don't feel much shoulder tension when benching

>>40796656
yeah this. ive been stuck at 1pl8 for the longest time and i finally broke my plateau and did 140lbs.
OHP takes the longest to progress. if it was as easy to progress as with other lifts, you'd see people repping 2pl8s casually. truth is, it's simply a tough as fuck lift.

>>40796642
Try dumbbell shoulder press too. As an assistance or accessory after your big lifts (so maybe 3-5x8-12). I sometimes get spooked about stability on OHP and shoulder press has helped me get some more control at the top.

do more volume. ohp responds best to volume

eat more

You mean 8-12 reps?

>>40796656
Is there any other exercise better for frontal delt growth?

>>40796883
yes. do 3x5 with as high as you can go then do 40 more reps so like 3x15 with lower weight that is still challenging to complete (2-3 reps short of failure on last rep)

Would this tactic work on a slowly increasing bench too?

>>40797056
The best thing I've done for bench was drop sets with increasing reps. Going from a heavy triple all the way down to a set of twelve, dropping 10 pounds each increment.

Three reps
Drop weight
Five reps
Drop weight
Eight reps
Drop weight
Ten reps
Drop weight
Twelve reps

yep, but you would probably get more benefit if you did db chest press (normal or incline) or weighted dips. spoto press and close grip bench can help too.

Dumbells only go up to 75 at my gym though

I can't imagine any other kind of person than a DYEL actually posting this

>>40796642
PUSH PRESS, single best movement to help OHP progress. Also incline bench is pretty good since it helps with the beginning portion of OHP.

go on a proper bench program then. no point in trying to grind it out. look into 28 free and its bench programs. pic related is from 28 and both are awesome bench programs
