Does anyone else have a very weak OHP?

[lifestyle21873]

Compared to my bench press my OHP is weak as fuck. Does this happen to anyone else? I cant progress on overheadpress either despite gaining weight and getting stronger on other exercises

 

[EasternRightWinger15]

I don't, but thanks for asking

 

[lifestyle21873]

I don't, but thanks for asking

I bet you dont even know what a barbell is either like 99% of this forum

cope

but to be serious idk, I have also strong bench, so I always thought, that if you have good benchpress, you are super likely to have good ohp also (both pushing forces), but a lot of people I know have crazy slow progress, it needs constistency and patience

what are your 1 rep PRs on bench and ohp? mine are 135 kg bp and 90 kg ohp

Yea keep talking not here to fight just said cause you made this thread asking about the question

 

[lifestyle21873]

ok how tall r u and how much do u weigh? how much do u bench press

 

[THEMOGEE]

Minimum gymcel strength should be

1xbw ohp
1.25xbw bench
2xbw squat
2.5xbw deadlift

That's athlete tier. Benching bodyweight is enough

What’s a good ratio? My incline bench has an estimated 1RM of 163 and OHP is 121

I guess nothing to worry here tbh, just continue working hard and consistently

 

[Deleted member 3163]

ok thanks man

My bench was 80kg for 6reps

 

[EasternRightWinger15]

1xbw ohp
1.25xbw bench
2xbw squat
2.5xbw deadlift

first 3 check, but DL is over, I'm really weak puller, I even can't do much pullups

1x bw ohp is relatively much harder than 1.25x bw bench.

 

[lifestyle21873]

1x bw ohp is hard as fuck. i have only seen like 2 people ohp more than 80kg in my gym

 

[Deleted member 1680]

My bench 1rm got close to 100. I was like 90 kgs. But my ohp is trash. I could barely do 40kg for reps

 

[pm_me_ur_beach_house]

no idea tbh

Thank you sir for my 100th rep. Later virgins Im off to Best of Best

 

[Ocelot]

I am weak on every lift.

I mean by bringing ohp up, itll literally be imlossible to not gave bigger shoulders. So imma still keep at it.

its the hardest lift to progress on atleast for me. u gotta be patient, u could try more volume and less weight

lol there is no way in hell that is kg

I guess it's right, I ohp mog almost everybody in my gym, altough I'm natural lifter, it just seems that I have genetics for it

asumming your not talking shit 90kg is very impressive. you would be the best ohp lifter in like every gym

 

[Ocelot]

keep at it bro

Lifting for one year, I do 25 kgs OHP for 8-10 reps . I'm still DYEL-tier body but I have an above average starting frame.

 

[EverythingMattersCel]

I only see a few people overhead pressing at the gym. Most tend to stick with seated DB shoulder presses. It's a shame because strict OHP with a barbell is much more beneficial for getting bigger shoulders than seated presses with dumbbells.

 

[Deleted]

My standing overhead press is 65 (bw) and my bench is 85 so i think its the other way around for me

ye its different for everyone tbh. it seems more normal to have stronger bench press tho

Pounds

 

[Stare]

My OHP mogs my bench press

my mate who maxxes 115 bench (85 bw) can only overhead 65

if i had to take a guess its because its much harder. very few people can use heavy weight on standing OHP so they just dont want do it

 

[EasternRightWinger15]

yeah, some steroided guys here can do more, but I don't reckon any natural lifter to lift this much, also I gymcel for nearly 5 years, so there's that

its for sure the hardest exercise but also the best one for shoulders

don't remind me of that shit excercise, 3 times I injured my shoulder doing that, it really isn't a great position for shoulders on the bench, that's why I switched to barbell

 

[EverythingMattersCel]

If anyone is struggling with improving their OHP I found fractional weights (0.25, 0.5, 0.75 and 1kg) to be useful for linear progression. Even adding 0.5kg every few weeks to the bar for your working sets can be a confidence booster. Beyond novice level, fractional weights are pretty useless for the other 3 compound lifts but I have found they don't lose efficacy for OHP.

Yeah, I also got a shoulder impingement from doing seated presses. I think people avoid doing strict presses with a barbell because they are scared of putting the bar over their head in a standing position.

ngl, the ohp really looks more dangerous at first, that's also one of the reasons I started with seated DB presses, but oh boy, when you know something about anatomy and the mechanics of the excercises, you realize, that you couldn't be more wrong
