Im only on 22.5kg so lower it down to just the bar or go down to dumbells?

Start doing handstands until you can do them without a wall. No shit I was doing handstands for a minute at the end of my workout every day and soon as I could do that no-wall my OHP was flawless.
Are you holding it behind your head? If so stop, that shits horrible for your shoulders and you need to do forward OHP. Give it time dude, I just hit after a year

I take it off the rack, hold it to my chest. push it out very slightly so not to hit my chin then struggle to push it overhead causing me to arch my back to help me push it overhead then the bar slightly wobbles at the top of the lift.

Im progressing on all the other lifts but overhead press

Are you clenching your butt?

>>41552421
OHP intimidates me slightly. I don't find it hard but it is DEFINITELY the exercise on which I find my arms struggling at the end. Its the only exercise i routinely have to wait 3 minutes between sets on for the last couple of sets.

Also 2nd week of SL.

>using the rack for less than a pl8

Just clean it off the floor pussy

Are you retarded bro? The strogest lockout position for OHP is to press above your head, head forward so your ears are in front of your arms and your shoulders locked tight with your arms extended completely.

There is a reason oly lifters finish snatch and clean and jerk in this position. There shouldn't be any impingement or anything.


Bench press is far worse than OHP.

Try the form rippetoe explains in this video

When I first started, OHP was by far my worst lift, I started doing this, focusing hard on form and pushing myself, and now it's one of my best
>well, until I fucked my shoulder benching ;_;

>needlessly tiring yourself out therefore limiting how many reps you can do
Yeah no thanks faggot, ill focus on cleans and legs when it's time to focus on cleans and legs.

This may looks like a joke but this anon is right. You really need a strong core for a good OHP

>>41552775
if you're tiring yourself cleaning 22.5kg, you need to reconsider a few things

>I keep having to arch my back a lot to push it over my head.
Sounds like you're not looking up when pushing. The bar has a more linear path without leaning back when you tilt your head because your chin isn't in the way.

>>41552742
Why do that when there is a power rack?

>>41552601
>I just hit after a year

hit what?

If you do SL at least read the fckng program.
squeeze your glutes

>if your lower back continues to hyper-extend, your abs are weak. Be patient and they’ll get stronger. Or add assistance for your abs.

What can I do to make my core stronger?

>>41552775
>getting fatigued after one light weight rep clean

like the other anon said, PUSSY

I find that after heavy OHP I struggle with weighted dips, i dont however struggle with bench press quite as bad, so yeah full ROM dips will help,
