Did 60 at 80kg untrained, managed to do 58 at 106kg after Gymcelling for 4 years straight. Now I don't lift anymore THANK GOD

(all strict and standing tho, single rep)

Very good, bhai

 

[schizo echochamber]

70kg, never really try one rep max on ohp though seems like a good way to injure yourself

Yeah, that's the max I can do at 98kg rn. Being in a calorie deficit really fucks with your presses.

 

[marek937]

I did 10 reps with 44 kg last workout my 1 rep max could be around 60kg at 72 kg bw

Damn I’m doing it at 75kg rn, try doing it with dumbbells though you’ll get way stronger on ohp quickly even on deficit

I can't really feel my shoulders with dumbells tbh. With the barbell, I can feel my delts stretch to Andromeda.

I do barbell ohp first then supplement with dumbbell ohp

OHP is bad for ur spine. It will make you shorter, both short term, and over time, permanently

ive quit doing them aswell, solely due to the height loss, i only do spine friendly exercises now. Tried going back to ohp. but within weeks, ive noticed i was shorter, even if i had a good nights sleep

Am I reading this wrong, you did 58 reps of 60kg ??? In one set ??

Those are extremely elite numbers jfl.

Is it better seated ?

 

[andy9432]

Is it better seated ?

no, it would still compress ur back, i found a way to do ohp without compressing ur spine. i do it lying down, horizontally, with a resistance band behind the neck

[andy9432]

just do banded ohp horizontally behind ur neck, and do seated rows, pullups or pulldowns if u cant do pullups

 

[skinmaxxer]

do it behind the neck

I really doubt it is permanent, and I think it would make your spine compress less during the day as you train over time. Even so, at the most I get compressed I'm still a little over 6'4.

@Orc Did it affect your height? If it did, in what way?

 

[Foreverbrad]

About 50kg, it’s disproportionately weak considering I can bench 100kg.

Really need to do something about this.

no impact whatsoever.
