Not doing ss but i recently stalled on ohp and managed to get past it. Add some z press and military press to your accessory work. When going with strict heavy weight finish the set with push press if you begin to fail. Also do heavy push press low rep, to get accustomed to heavier weight overhead

My shoulders aren't much of an issue. I have been working the stabilizers and warming up so I don't think that's too much an issue. It's mostly my triceps. I think they're lagging behind. I recently got some resistance bands so I'm gonig to do some more direct work.

I'll keep that in mind though!

yea the problem with calisthenics is that it's hard to work your shoulders.
handstand and dips are the only way to work your shoulders and i don't think either of them works out your posterior delt.

i got 2 places i go to do pullups the one is right outside of my home so i bring weighs there and there's a park a little further so when i go there i don't bring my weighs and do sets of pullups, sometimes fuck around with muscle ups and recently tried doing my bw max it was 20 but i'm pretty sure i could shit out 2 more.

how do pendlay rows compare to bent-over rows? Are they much harder or what?

Pendlay is harder as your back is parallel to the floor and you have to pull the weight off of the ground. I guess its like comparing a deadlift (pendlay) to a rackpull (bent over row)

>>41822837

You dont row?

>>41822843

Nope, all of my male friends who are reasonably active wouldn't be able to squat 1pl8, none of them except maybe 1 could bench 1pl8 either.

>>41822863
You can't be serious. Any healthy young male should be able to squat 1pl8, untrained.

>>41822835
but dips activate chest more than bench does? plus if your triceps were strong enough to dip +50kg then you'd ohp more than 40kg?

Maybe your chest is okay but your delts are garbage? or you just can't dip bw + 50kg and bench 55kg which is what I'm going to choose to believe

no, 80kg back squat is awful. you will generally see that within your first month or two of lifting if you didn't right away, even with poor form.

olympic barbells weigh 45 pounds? holy shit i've never added the bar weight to my lifts when talking to people or inputting information online.

You are pretty mad, can just imagine you sitting there at your computer in the dark violently typing that message out, you probably broke a sweat typing it LMAO

for comparison, according to symstr i bench 107.5 and can dip +60kg at 80kg, and my dip is still stronger relative to my bench

>>41823106
you have the smallest dick i've ever smelled

>>41823000
desu I'm more worried about your dip form than your bench form

>>41823112
bruh I'm just trying to help you understand why I'm confused, I'm not the guy who's wrecking you

>>41823117

I dip until my arms go parallel to the bar then I push myself up, what else is there to say

>>41823125

That aint even me

>>41823117
don't worry about it bro, i put my hand upon your hip, when i dip you dip we dip you put your hand upon my hip, when i dip you dip we dip i put my hand upon your hip, when i dip you dip we dip you put your hand upon my dick, when i dick your butt i dick.
