>press 95 pounds for three sets of 5 on Monday>today I manage two reps of 97.5lb then fail so I drop back to 95 and only manage 2 more reps and then even fail to lift 85 pounds once even after a ten minute restwtf is this nigger bullshit
>>76955003Kek yeah this shit happens to me tooVery finicky liftTry doing it seated
>>76955003That's ohp for youThere's a reason it was considered THE PRESS in the 40s.It's a real test of strength unlock deadlift or bench press
You arguably need more rest and time with the OHP. I finally hit a 205 lb one rep max, but I couldn’t do regular 3x5 sets at 165 lbs for almost two weeks.Ensure you squeeze your ass and poke that chest up.
>>76955003first of all stop benching second rest 3 days before attempting it again
>>76955003Some days I can do 165x5 effortlessly, some days 155x5 is a struggle
>>76955003>Do OHP with proper technique, all the way down, all the way up and head through the imaginary window with no leg drive or throwing it up>Lift around 60 kg 3 sets of 10>Some wannabe shitkid loads the same plates and uses his entire body just to do uncontrollable half reps>"Huh Anon, seems like we are equally strong eh?!"God I hope he breaks his shoulders one day.
>>76955003OHP is a very fickle lift to progress in
>>76955003This is funny, but that's just the OHP. What I do when I stall is revert to hypertrophy work. So I'll drop the weight and start doing sets of 12 then in a couple of weeks I go and retry my max and it's usually gone up. Remember my guy hypertrophy work is really useful for strength as well, I mean shit look at most BBs. You can't have that much muscle without corresponding strength.
people will do anything but follow an actual program
>>76956438this is what im doing and i think it's working, probably too soon to tellchanged up from doing straight amrap sets of 6 or so, to a set or two of about 70% weight where I amrap at around 15 or so reps, then try a max weight set or two for 3-5 reps afterfeels good>>76956911what's wrong with what OP is saying? he just added 2.5lbs and tried again later in the week, you can't tell what kind of programming he's doing from that
>>76956921>what's wrong with what OP is saying?it's unsustainable. of course you're going to plateau in your lifts if you don't have an actual plan of progression beyond increase weight every week.
>>76956911>no you HAVE TO follow a program!!! my autism cannot handle it if you dont reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeAdd weight. Can't do it? No problem, go back to same weight I did last session. Try to do an extra rep or 2. Can't do it? No problem, rest and protein. The stimulus from this week will surely allow me to do it next session. Simple as.
>>76955003Film yourself and see if your form is degrading. OHP is a picky little bitch and having the bar 1cm off from the optimal position can make it a million times harder.and make sure you're eating and sleeping enough. you're only a couple weeks away, at most, from OHP 100lbs for reps. You got this, OP.>>76956933>plateauNTA. Eventually yes but at 95lbs on OHP? At that weight noob gains should still be in effect.
>>76956933what else is there besides>more reps>more weight>slower/better reps?genuinely asking
