Would it be ok to swap squats and OHP on the madcow 5x5 routine? I've been lifting for 8 months, I have been stuck at 120 lbs OHP for so long, and I want that god damned 1pl8 so badly. I am eating enough, I'm sleeping enough, all my other lifts are progressing fine, I've been using microplates and everything.
>>
form check
do more OHP
try for your one rep max more
do more volume
do accessories that target the muscles used in OHP
stop being a little fag
>>
>lifting for 5 weeks
>140 lbs ohp 5x5

Why do people find this hard?

Form is fine.
That's what I'm asking if swapping squats and overhead press in the madcow routine to do it more often is safe to do and won't cause me injury.
Noted.
Why? I thought 3-5 was the range for strength gains, anything above is hypertrophy territory?
I thought the only way to get better at something was to do that exercise, like you don't do assisted chin-ups to get better at chin-ups?
Fuck you, I'm putting every god damned ounce of strength I have into this.

Good for you nigger, put out useful advice or fuck off.

Do dumbbell OHP for a while. Might be some secondary muscles fucking you by being underdeveloped. Also increase volume like some anon said, if you can. Increased muscle size correlates with better strength output.
