OHP training

OHP training
My OHP is not progressing at all and I'm still stuck at 175lbx1 but I can bench 285
How do I get a bigger press?

Fix

Disseminate more volume and frequency over a longer period of time between overload events. That's the general theme of progressing to more and more advanced training. If you'd like to do a peaking block you could try one or two ~95% 1rm attempts every day/every other day/every 2 out of 3 days and use that as a peaking block. It'll add some weight to your max, but it's unsustainable fatigue wise and likely won't give you enough volume to maintain that peak strength for long.

Not OP but bumping with same Q.
I’m a novice and don’t understand Been progressing well over the past year from DYEL. Up to 185 bench and good progress on my other lifts but OHP keep stalling around 100 lbs. BTN is even worse, I can barely get 55 lbs for 10 reps. What do I do to improve?

What's not to understand?

>Disseminate more volume and frequency over a longer period of time between overload events.
Means that if proper rest and diet and an occasional deload week are not enough to keep you adapting, then odds are that you are becoming capable of training loads that take longer to recover from, and further adaptations have to be driven by increases in volume. But increasing volume will not exactly help you recover faster, unless the overload event (Meaning putting more weight on the bar) happens less often, making room for more sets and reps of submaximal intensity between those high intensity sets.

If the peaking block was the part you don't understand, then I don't know how to explain it better other than to say that sometimes, lifters will do a near one rep max once or twice a day several times a week. Since you aren't actually pushing overload and aren't doing a lot of sets, you can recover from this kind of training for a while and push a few extra pounds onto a 1rm before a competition. However this cumulative nearmaximal fatigue is not likely sustainable.

guys I just did 1 plate for 12 OHP, what should my max be?

around 180+

This

OR

you just aren't doing enough sets. The less overall systemic fatigue a lift demands, the quicker it recovers. Maybe add an extra set on pulls and presses and see what happens. If lifts still don't progress, or even go down, you're not recovering and follow user's advice.

10 sets of ten at 130 for 1 month. Then try again.

t. Something my football coach taught me that works amazingly well.

Your shoulder muscle is one of the smallest muscles on your body. Don't feel bad about OHP progression it will be slow. Not a lot of people can even break 100 pounds

>Expecting your average Jow Forums retard to understand big words
Stop trying to lift heavy so much and spend more time doing more reps more often at less weight, use these times to build up to trying to heavy, short sets every few weeks.
Also try doing heavy singles or doubles a couple times a week, but doing a heavy single or double every other day for a while will eventually be too hard to recover from.

>Volume and intensity are big words

My 50kg gf almost presses that lmao
Any grown man should be able to press at least 2pl8

t. presses just over 1 pl8.

>weakling projecting

Change reps and sets or replace your standard ohp with different variations such as, Z-presses, sitting presses, push presses, behind the neck presses and banded presses etc and add accessories such as overhead extensions and dumbbell presses

its not that theyre big, its that they dont fucking mean anything. Volume? how many cubic meters of weight am I moving? what the fuck are you saying?

>set x reps x weight
Is this to hard to understand brainlet?

training volume...yeah, it's a stupid term.
it's sets by reps by weight, right guys?

it's kind of dumb, because at max exertion, sets of 3 are at least as hard as sets of 10, but the "volume" figure is much lower. You can make it up with more sets, but I can't seem to get the same volume out of heavy sets. As and example: OHP 115# for 10 reps and 3 sets = 3450 total, versus OHP 145# for 3 reps and 8 sets = 3480 total. I personally would have a lot more trouble with the 8 by 3.

>tfw hit 3x5 1pl8 ohp with great form
We're all gonna make it

Sitting or standing? Am I cheating by sitting? I try to do standing but I get dizzy and feel a lot more confident sitting down for reps.

When the bar is at the bottom does it rest on the shoulders somehow? I’ve heard that but my arms seem too long to make it work.

No youre kyphotic and need to correct it before worrying about numbers

probably need more volume.
Grab Greg Nuckols 28 free programs.
Do one of the Bench programs but with bench swapped for OHP.

Sitting is easier because you lose less energy along the the shorter kinetic chain..
But it maybe be harder because you can't lean back as far

>my 50 kg girlfriend can press 50kg
sure thing user

>Increase your volume!
So should he increase sets, reps or weight?
