What's a good intermediate overhead press routine?
I fucked my wrist up (TFCC sprain) and can't bench, possibly for a long period of time, but I can press without pain in the wrist.
I reached a 145 1rm on the press through linear progression running /fit/'s Greyskull variant, but I have since stalled and want to incorporate more volume.
Bench was 210 3x5 before my injury. Squat and deadlift novice as well. The Press™ just happens to be my strongest lift.
Some have told me that the Texas Method is shit for pressing movements, but I haven't looked into it much

Where are you having troubles?
Locking out? Weak tris. Rarely an issue
Initiating the lift? Weak shouders. Usually.
Body wants to collapse under bar? Weak core/chain.
Doing weighted dips/benching seems to help the lockout.
Doing seated half reps of OHP seems to help the initiating issues. You can set up in a squat rack with an adjustable seat for this. Only do reps to slightly above head.
If you wanna collapse under the bar, gotta start squatting/DLing more

Lockout mostly. I also seem to have an imbalance where my right tri is stronger than the left

I had the same issue. I did a few sets of tricep extensions (using cables machine) after each OHP/bench session and it caught up. May have to do it every time you work out. Emphasis form and get the pump. Should catch up in a couple months
Tricep extensions using only the weak arm**

I'll give this a go using ropes. Like I said, my wrist is fucked and pressure from certain angles is completely unmanageable
heres the only worthwhile overhead press routine
>massively strengthen your core and back
>do a lot of volume on a large variety of pressing lifts
>hit a lot of PRs for different heavy presses
>do a bunch of RE (controlled weight high volume) overhead presses
>fully recover
>do a max effort overhead press day
you can't really train the OHP because its more a product of overall body strength. Just forget about getting stronger on it to any significant degree without adding close to 100 pounds to your squat/deadlift maxes
