>sick for 4 days
>back in the gym
>OHP takes a 5 kg hit
Every fucking time.

>tfw linear gains stopped before 1/2/3/4
I got 1 up halfway so on a fresh day I might be able to get it. I finally have a real routine instead of PPLx constantly grinding my training max once a week so I hope it comes in a month.

Are you supposed to reach 1/2/3/4 on linear progression?

yes?

Most people don’t.

HARDKEK
OHP>Bench anyday of the week

I've been doing 3 sets of 5 reps of 50 kg on overhead press for a few weeks now. What do you estimate my one rep max to be? The fifth rep is usually pretty heavy for me.

Pretty sure the 1pl8 OHP is the easiest of 1/2/3/4. Squat seems to be second, bench third and 180 kg deadlift kind of seems out of reach for a 71kg 175cm dyel like me.

It makes more sense to do
1/1.5/2/2.5
Where it’s a multiplier of your weight

So I’m 127lb and would need to DL 317.5 which is definitely doable

I it 1/2 way WAY before the 3/4
In fact I don't think I can even do 3 pl8 squat now that I haven't squatted in a week. My squat is pathetically weak and it disappears easily. There's so much wild variation in my squats, one day I struggle with 2 plates, one day I smoke 3 plates.
Why is that?

lmao that was my starting point

Body weight overhead press is far above a reasonable goal for a novice lifter, I would say.
Perhaps you are more upper body dominant. I conversely can increase squat regularly, but bench is a nightmare.

Yes it fucking does if you press with proper form, ohp has more carryover to bench than bench does to ohp.

this is just cope

Post shoulders

Good work bro.

>tfw I made it back to 1pl8 OHP today
>tfw after I did it I thought about someone else making a thread about it on fit
>mfw I see this
we were destined to make it brah

check your foot stance it might be changing in between squat sessions and it greatly effects your muscle recruitment and strength

Proud of you user. Only at 135 OHP myself. See you on the other side

I just hit 105 on the OHP today. if all goes well, I'll hit 1 plate in 6 weeks. When I started, I was failing on the fucking bar. We're all gonna make it brahs. On a side note, does it count if I'm doing 5x3 instead of 3x5 or 5x5?

Same. I was squatting 2.5 pl8s in December but took a break cuz of an ankle injury. Now I'm struggling @ 200lbs. And here I was thinking it'd be the first of 1/2/3/4 achievements.

Retard faggot fuck kill yourself

>Waht to do?
More

Should be right about 1pl8. Try it out some time
>easiest of 1/2/3/4
That's highly individual, because of leverages and potential carryover from other sports you might have played.
At a statistical level the 4pl8 deadlift is the hardest, with 1/2/3/3.5 being well-balanced.

>skelly cope
Fix your eating disorder

>does it count if I'm doing 5x3 instead of 3x5 or 5x5?
What is this supposed to mean?

Great timing...does anyone else have super low OHP?
2 months in and I can barely OHP 35lb dumbells for 5x5
Any tips on growing the press?

Switched from the bar because I figured I might have less issues with my shoulders.

5 sets of 3.

Yes no shit. I meant what does "does it count" mean? Why wouldn't it count?

Is it less of an achievement than hitting the other rep schemes? I stall a lot less using this over the others

Now when you say 1pl8, is that for 1 rep or 5 user? Because one counts and the other doesn't.

Only the first set matters when assessing strength, whether you can do more sets after only depends on your work capacity. So what you're asking really is "is 1x3 less of an achievement than 1x5?", the answer to which is obviously yes.

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

post body

>tfw currently at 1/1.8/2.8/3
>managed 1 rep of 405
>haven't been doing squats so my numbers probably went down a lot
>ohp used to be 155lbs
>life has been fucking me so I haven't been able to go to the gym
I'll get back to it bros, I'll hit 1/2/3/4 soon enough.

1/2/3/4 means 5 rep set not a single

keep going

>one day I struggle with 2 plates, one day I smoke 3 plates.
>Why is that?
My guess is your cns needs time to recover user. I've noticed during my deadlifts that when my cns is fully recovered I can rep out 3 plates like nothing. If I go for a 1rm when fully recovered I can get 4 plates easy but I need a good 2 weeks of lighter weight (around 2.5 plates) to recover and only a week after my 1rm even 3plates feels heavy as all hell.

Word. Any tips for increasing work capacity on heavy sets? I already do high volume sets

385 Bench and 205 OHP, now post your bodies and lifts to back up your opinions

im not any of them but I will say the
>ohp doesnt translate to bench press
argument is bad even though I think it's true.
Because that means the only goal is to have a big bench. maybe they dont care about that

That's not you in the video, so it likely isn't you in the picture either, and your numbers may as well be made up. Anyway we're talking about OHP so only videos of OHP are relevant.

Weren't you posting this shit before?
So glad to know it's not really you, just some DYEL who found a randos on YouTube

Look at the pinned comment in the video

Ok, now post a video of your OHP.

I don’t OHP

>sumo
Fucks sake

>hello let me tell you about a lift I don't do, while simultaneously claiming to lift 205 lbs on it
Are you retarded?

my point was that a 205 ohp isn’t technically proportional to a 385 bench

also my first lift to hit any breakpoint of 1/2/3/4, and I also got stretch marks on the tops of my shoulders.
nice work.

Are you natty? No way you're benching 385 natty with those noodle arms.

I remember the first time I hit 1pl8 OHP. Nothing quite like it. Proud of you, user.

Stay strong, keep lifting, breh.

17.25 inchers are noodle arms?

Noodle as in long. Nice job dodging the question though.

Yes I’m natty, the picture only looks big because of lighting/angles. In the video I’m not big and I do ultra wide sumo to compete with the roidcels. I have a bench arch but my elbow joint still goes lower than the bench.

>still no video of bench or OHP
Why bother

I just hit this exact milestone like a couple weeks ago. Gg user, proud of you.

gonna make it gjdm
proud of you

>still no body/lifts posted
Why are you even in this thread still you lard ass?

Good job King you got this!

>still no relevant lifts posted
No u

based, im at 1.5pl8 right now
OHP is the most chad and alpha exercise there is, i do it 2 times a week sometimes 3 times

I'm not that guy but no one cares you fatass cunt

Exactly you fat fucking nigger now go back to r*ddit. You’re braindead so stop giving out advice when you’re a DYEL that will never make it to 3 plate bench

How much kg is 1pl8 ohp? 50kg? 60kg?

60

58 kg. 20 kg bar, two 20 kg plates, minus the plate holes.

>i do it 2 times a week sometimes 3 times
routine? I'm planning on switching up my routine and hitting everything twice a week at least.

>oh no he called me out on my retardation
>r-reddit haha right

>plate holes

Switch back to bar but makesure you warmup and do band aparts, dislocates, etc...

It's REALLY hard to move up in weight with dumbells, and once you start 45 lbs dumbells I'd imagine that barbell OHP would be less dangerous for your shoulders because it's more stable (and getting the bar into position won't injure you)

So i'm supposed to do the ohp with the olympic bar? The same bar i do squats, deadlifts and benches with?

So fat i've been using a smaller bar.

Projection from the weak faggot. You’ll be committing suicide anytime soon since you’re an eye sore. Good riddance, natural selection at work.

>So i'm supposed to do the ohp with the olympic bar? The same bar i do squats, deadlifts and benches with?
You're kidding me.... right? Tell me you're joking.

just a PPL 6x a week, sometimes do ab work and whatever i feel like doing on my rest day

>oh no he called me out on my retardation
>k-kill yourself haha right

You’re embarassing yourself bud

No, you posted one lift which is entirely irrelevant to the discussion at hand.

And you posted 0 lifts and 0 images of yourself. This kid is so pathetic...

Yikes

And yet again you avoid what I say like a slippery kike. You don’t even have the balls to stand up for your opinion.
