I have never seen another person in the gym doing barbell OHP

>not doing OHP with a BB one week, then DB the next
You know there is this thing called 'choice'.

Its what your dad should have done when he didn't choose to use a condom.

I've seen plenty of people do it

I don't care who does it. It's just one exercise which makes me look like I am after full day of training on (effective) brosplit.

there is also this thing called the 'best choice'

>the 'best choice'
Literally every study ever on long term muscle activation has shown changing exercises is more efficient than doing the same ones. Maybe you should choose to end yourself.

You dont need it.

Show me somebody who exclusively does OHP or maybe OHP + one accessory who has decent delts.

(You can’t.)

i mean i really like OHP*
im sure OPs a good guy too tho

his grip should be a little less than a hand width closer

get a room already jee

forearms should be vertical

It looks a bit too wide. You would need a side view to confirm, though.
The elbows should be slightly in front of the barbell

Lmao I fucking love this meme

Did you check a gym?

I see a lot of gym trash half repping OHP, my fav lift. I find that offensive

how much you ohp bro
i do it as close as possible. thumb webbing around the start of the grip knurling. rippetoe style

40kg 5x5

5x5

Same here famm

>60kg bw
>doing 45kg 5x5
lmaoing@u fatties

So you just started lifting?

Heavy vertical pressing is the best way to built shoulders and traps as a natty

I prefer the diddly, but the Press (tm) is a close second

>60kg bw
please eat manlet.

I feel my traps working more than my side delts during OHP. Front delts get hit plenty for sure though

Just look at the shoulders and traps of olympic lifters

Actually Rip advises a much closer grip than OP pic, with hands shoulder width apart

I do my OHP with curl bars because it's hard for me to balance a normal length bar over my head

My shoulders are wider than that faggot's grip due to Aryan genes.

lmao fucking what
what are you,12? do you weigh 50kg?

No I just have trouble balancing the bar with my grip is all

Weak core and legs = no barbell overhead

depends on personal physiognomy, but I'd also grip way narrower than the guy in the picture.

I mostly do dumbbells due to the fact that my gym is packed most of the time and I can't lift it safely with so many people around me.

No more facepulls, Jeff

I hope not relative to your shoulders. Your grip width should be just outside shoulder width so that your elbows are vertical

I do them but my shoulders start to hurt after doing them. Should I decrease weight and do more reps or is it a meme?

Youve got shit flexibility, its nothing to do with the weight

How do I fix it then doc?

Look up thoracic extension and thoracic mobility. There are various techniques you can use that are floating around.For example. Try laying face-up on a foam roller with the roller under your mid-upper back. Raise your arms straight behind your head clasped together and try to touch the ground behind you while keeing your back on the roller and your butt/legs on the floor. Don't move the roller over to your lower back to cheat it.

I understand how you feel.

Did you count the bar?

OHP scares me. I'm afraid of fucking up my back having improper form. I've had previous trips to snap city from deadlifting and having my own weight above me scares me. I do seated OHP to work shoulders though.

I started lifting two months ago and I just realized that I haven't seen anyone else doing OHP in my gym.
I'm a total noob, so I just follow the routine designed by the trainer there.
I'm doing pyramid series, 15/12/10/8, yesterday got to OHP 35kg in last series, will I make it?

My arms are long as fuck and it becomes basically a tricep workout at a certain point in the lift. I fucking hate it.

underrated

Okay mate you fucking dyel

Who counts the bar?

Question: is it acceptable to ohp not with the barbell but with those bars that have static weights? Am noob.

My joints. Doesn't hurt in a good way.

Thanks, I'll look it up!

Same here. Only guy doing it. It’s my favorite excersise though

thats fucking vancouver isnt it? such a degenerate place

yeah its acceptable
you should probably wax your vagina while youre at it you fucking twink

true but your arms can be vertical closer in or farther out depending on shoulder rotation.

So vertical yes but don't be having pressure in your armpits- externally rotate a little.

you don't know what larry wheels does for shoulders lmao

same bro
im barrel chested af tho

why do you care if other people do that or not? mind your own work out.
That's the best exercise for shoulder strenght keep doing it and stop caring about someone else does or doesn't do.

Luckily, in Norway Crossfit isn't a meme, so a lot of people do these exercises. I'm the only one I've seen doing trap bar deadlifts thought.

lots of people do barbell OHP at my uni gym, even girls

Same. Have a buddy who’s taller and ‘bigger’ than me more defined thick solid tight etc. but he can’t touch my OHP because he’d literally never seen it done before or done it himself. Dude couldn’t OHP 35lb dumbbells but benches 2 plates I was blown away and he was embarrassed.

I just hit 1plate OHP after about 4 months of consistent lifting. It's my favorite lift.

Nice keep it up homie

Because most people have no business doing it since they’re such an orthopedic mess

about half the people in my powerlifting gym OHP, the other half will joke around about how the bench is the real press.

our sidewalk garbage cans look different than that one. Could be Seattle.

This gives me hope, doing SL for 2 months soon and failed for the first time on OHP (42,5kg) I failed on the 3rd set and 5th set. It is my favorite lift after DL.

God damn.
Liam really let himself go

I've seen one guy other than myself do it at my gym. Anytime Fitness.

Are you literally retarded

Some people

Almost fell over and hurt my shoulder a bit when I did them in my first month. Never tried them again afterwards. I do dumbbell OHP though

If I'm using a 20kg olympic bar then damn straight I'm counting it!

underrated

There are a minimum of 3 people doing compounds every time I go to my gym. Why is your gym so shit?

>lift weight
>only count some of the weight

Wha?

Shit's unironically cash. He doesn't even lean backwards.

OHP is the most based barbell exercise

Grazed my bottom lip with the bar on the way down.

have you got nigger lips or something

I fucking hate them but I do them. Finally did my 70lb 5x5 today.

I actually like OHP and it's definitely great for strength gains but it honestly is an almost useless excerise for bodybuilding. Dumbell press is far superior, and if you really want juicy shoulders you need to isolate the smaller muscles with side raises, front raises and reverse flyes using light dumbells

At my gym everyone does sitting OHP in the smith machine, even my gymbro. It's literally just me and some super-lean boomer that use free weight.
