5lbs/week is insane for intermediate OHP get the fuck out of here OP

5lbs a month would be a tough goal to reach at your weight.

you might have a weak link in your OHP muscle chain.
Do you tend to get stuck at the bottom, or near the top?

>>41295316

Just watch Sam Hyde's bugsports, he talks about this and is an OHP God.

>>41295362
I generally crap out near the bottom on whatever rep I fail at.

>>41295362
Not OP but I literally get stuck about halfway through the lift. I'm doing around 145 lbs.

>>41295389
then it's probably your delts that are giving out. Work them harder, with more volume. I generally tend to get stuck near the top.

>>41295477
probably your triceps.

>>41295316
Switch to triples

>>41295316
impressive that yours is 135 at what i assume is your beginning

I had an incredibly difficult time progressing OHP, as many others do. If you insist on sticking with that specific lift, yours won't progress that fast; set your expectations for progress over two weeks as opposed to one

HOWEVER. I'd recommend switching to Push Press, which is the same as OHP except you just use a little bit of leg at the beginning to accelerate it off your shoulders. The mechanical advantage at the starting position of a strict OHP is just fucking terrible, and really doesn't facilitate any special development. You'll make much faster progress on Push Press, which will absolutely translate to a strengthened strict OHP.

This, minus the sticking point which is tricep heavy. Push press is boss, great shoulder development.
