OHPing 150 x 5 but only Bench pressing 160 x 5

>OHPing 150 x 5 but only Bench pressing 160 x 5

How did I get this retard and how do I fix this? Should I just put more weight on the BP and see if I can make it?

> how do I maintain my vertical pushing strength while improving my horizontal pushing strength?
you do more horizontal pushing

>How did I get this retard?
I don't know

I bench 2x a week and OH 1x a week

>tfw I managed 130x4 OHP today
>5lbs and one rep away from the 1 in 1/2/3/4
>tfw bench is no where near 2
>tfw squat not even close to 3
>tfw diddly is miles from 4
It's a complex confusion.

Your form on one of them is wrong.

BP form tips?

wut

Same

>tfw OHP'd 230x1 today
>tfw benched 360x1 yesterday
>tfw front squatted 250x1 today
>tfw deadlifted 250x1 yesterday
doesnt make sense :(

Retract scapula, don't flare elbows, keep feet positioned near bench, make sure grip on the bar is spaced for optimal pec activation

Post body, I want to see the mutant with those stats

Weird, I'll probably hit 4 plate squat before 1 plate ohp.

>Retract scapula
Not him but what? I tighten my upper back when setting myself, is that what you mean?
>make sure grip on the bar is spaced for optimal pec activation
How far apart is this supposed to be? Do you have a picture for reference?

is this you?

its not uncommon to have OHP out pace your bench but your borderline ridiculous

mine
ohp 155x3 not sure of max right now
bp 245
sq 335
dl 425

OHP 80x5
BP 115x10
Squat 225x3

I’m only 133 pounds this shit is hard and eating sucks

Presumably by focusing more on bench than OHP

squeeze your shoulders back and chest up. Arch your back. Have your feet flat on the floor really pushing against the floor from under your hips, with your entire body like a tightly wound-up spring full of potential energy

It means bringing your shoulder blades down and holding them there during sets to minimize delt activation; protecting the rotator cuff and promoting chest activation. Your lats are what are pulling your shoulder blades back and down.
How far apart depends on the individual. Too close and you'll use too much tricep. Too far and you'll be unstable and at an inefficient position for pressing. Takes some experimenting to determine your ideal bar positioning.

What's your diddly numbers? You do deadlift right bro?

>eating sucks
Replace water intake with whey.

Fear is something that holds back a lot of people on the bench. Once you start going over 1plate the mental factor of all that weight over you becomes a big issue. Usually goes away at 2plate

here you go
>5'10, 217lbs
in my eyes nothing special, but maybe i suffer from body dysmorphia like everyone else here
traps could be bigger, but my chest is 48" and arms are 17.25", so im pretty happy with those

hey hey, my front squat isnt THAT bad
squat/dl are going up, altho pretty slowly

Milk, peanut butter, oats, protein powder, bananas, chicken (thighs or breasts) veggies. 2 cups of whole milk, 6tbs egg whites, and a scoop of protein powder at least once a day too.

I’m actually having a friend show me how to today. I’ve been lifting for about 7 months now from super auschwitz mode and have been really hesitant to try it for some time, not sure why.

Keep your upper back tight my dude. When you bend over to grab the bar tighten your upper back then, it should straighten out your back, keep it tight throughout the lift. That's the most important thing I've noticed when deadlifting.
