Because you should be doing The Press™ instead.

Try putting OHP at the start of workouts?

Try some lateral raises for a while. Trust me.

Because it's the hardest lift to increase.

I had this problem just recently as well, and I found my issue was just improper form. I deloaded by 10 pounds, watched multiple videos on form and spent 30 minutes in the rack getting it down. I feel a lot more comfortable with the lift now, and I don't tire as quick. This has also lead me to checking my form on everything else.

If that doesn't help then as another anon said, lateral raises should get you some more strength towards the ohp.

this. you just need to check your form. think of it like a reverse chinup. not a pullup. your elbows should be kept together, not flared out.

>tfw thought of this comment as i was just doing OHP and brought the bar down fast crashing on my chin

I'm shit at OHP, lifting heavy above my head freaks me out and I think I'm going to die. I can bail from squats all day but dropping a bar with 3 pl8's on top of my head freaks me the fuck out.

you only have that weight above your head when you're locked out, so are your arms going to snap? any other time you're dropping it infront of you not on your head
