I think most of you hate the OHP because you've never seen a girl's eyes lighten up after you tell her you can lift her up above your head like a neanderthal, and then successfully do so. It's a pussy magnet as long as you lift heavy and you are not a powershitter.Oh and you need to do the barbell variation for it to work, the machines don't translate well to a real life movement or stabilization
im a neet, im skinnyfat with a huge gut, and i dont do any exercise. i have no problem getting girls. lifting is just a cope for guys who are afraid of talking to women and risking being rejected because they dont look good.
>>77552889Who
>>77552886You would have to be able to OHP a massive amount more than her actual weight, and the hard part would be getting her in position first.Its a lot easier to just bicep curl her. Is it even really possible to OHP a girl unless sge ways like 30kg? Whats the strat?
>>77552964It doesn't matter. You think girls are intelligent enough to figure that out. They aren't. Also, I saw a video on YouTube with a guy OHPing a woman's bodyweight with a dumbbell on each side. I am fairly certain he could have OHPeed her.
>>77552964Here bruhhttps://youtu.be/kzBqrt_PxKY?t=90
>>77552886what are the best accessory lifts for OHP? I've stalled out at 105 lbs 5-5-4. I want to hit 7-7-7 before attempting 35s.
>>77552886Ok, except I would have to get fat as fuck to lift that.
>>77552984You can cheat a bit and use some leg drive, it's ok. All she cares about is that you can lift her.
>>77552998I feel like lifting your gf over your head is totally optional.
>>77553007Who says it isn't? I'm just saying that in my experience women enjoy it, A LOT. Some primal impulse to feel light and weak, idk. It's cool.
the average woman nowadays weights around 200lbs...
>>77553010I really dont care what women enjoy.
>>77552979Just do more reps. Either a 5x5 or a 3x8-12. If you're plateaued on a lift generally you should try changing reps before you start going for accessories. You could even have one day where you're doing your heavy sets and one day for your volume.
>>77553036Well then you should be especially concerned about ohp because lifting your boyfriend over your head is going to be a lot harder.
I'm at 5x5 70lb, 5x5 65 behind the head ohp kek. Just started lifting though
>>77553007Not if you want to slam on her neck and pretend it was an accident
>>77553036Good luck lmfao>>77553023I'm not american enough to understand this
>>77552886Just chest press the girl. No need to do a standing ohp.
>>77553194>enough????
>>77552886Women don't care about feats of strength. Women are only impressed by them if they already decided they like you. The same is true for pretty much about anything. If they like you, they'll send you signals regardless of what you do. In other words just be yourself around them and learn to read their signals. If they're not interested you'll know and if they're interested you'll know. Just develop good social skills, make yourself presentable as to not turn them off by being gross and smelly, and learn how to read their signals. Stick to strength training for personal health and to have good strength.
>>77552886My OHP routine is> a) heavy weight 5x5and then later in the week> b) light weight 5x8critiques?
I love kettlebell OHP. I have long monkey arms and OHP feels more natural to me with KB than with a barbell. My shoulders feel a lot stronger doing flyes, pullups, etc. since I started doing OHP all the time.
>>77553200You could definitely get away with a push press. She won't even see your knees
>>77552886I've just been able to do clean reps at 95 for all me sets. Gonna add another 5 this Wednesday and do my first 100lbs OHP.Big moves.
>>77552886I recently ohp'd like a fucking retard and fucked up a disc on my mid back.Still love it tho>>77552964I've "ohp"d girls from their elbows
>>775535955x8 seems a bit taxing for sets across. Are you reasonably close to failure on the first sets?Other than that, I did basically the same until I got a 90kg 1rm OHP half a year ago.
>>77552964You can also just bend your knees and use momentum to get her up there, unless she's a gym rat she's not gonna know the difference or care
>>77553791that would be fucked though>get her up there>"did you just bounce your knees?">"put me down, I'm leaving"
>>77552974Awesome
>>77552886the wide stance you have to take to keep balance looks gay and stupid
>>77553803kekekekeke
>>77552886I Dont talk to women.
>>77553214>Women don't care about feats of strength. Women are only impressed by them if they already decided they like you.getting in shape doesnt help me get more women, it helps me have more fun with the ones I do get.
>>77552984I want to lose weight and gain muscle infinitely, has science gone too far?
>>77552886>you've never seen a girl's eyes light up as you throw through the door because all the beers are warm and dinner isn't ready
>>77553893The younger generation are so terrified of being seen as gay or cringe they will do absolutely NOTHING but shuffle through the world dead eyed, headphones in, eyes glued on their phone, not reacting to anything or doing anything. It's insane.
>>77552886>>77552964It's not that big of a deal.I can OHP 60kg x5 and a few days ago I OHP'd my wife (55kg). I just shoved my palms under her armpits and lifted her up to the ceiling. Shit was hilarious as her impression went from suprised, annoyed, to impressed in a few seconds. Then she mired my gains and said she didn't know I could manhandle her like that.The takeaway here is that a human being is more unstable, and have weight distribution way different than a loaded barbell. Center of mass is not on your shoulder level, but around your hips (not a big suprise) so you need extra power in the bottom part of the movement. But still you can press about 70-80% of your conventional OHP in terms of lifting a human. Also neutral grip is important so you can do neutral grip dumbbell presses for more realistic practice. Now I can say that if you can't OHP your woman then you're too weak or she is too fat, without being a hypocrite.>mfw>Verifiication not required
>>77552886I can sfroct ohp 160lbs for 3 reps. Probably 1rm is slightly.more.Its a relatively easy to advance exercise if you simply do it consistently.Btw my 1rm was 50kg (110lbs) literslly 2 months ago.I started doing ohp regularly and it quickly grew. After this i feel 100kg ohp is not that far. And i also can clearly atest OHP is the type of exercise where repetitions and form trumps heavy weight.I'd say if you can do 50kg, stay with it until you can do 4x12 reps easily. Then move to 55. There is literally zero need to rush this exercise because your only results then will be injuryIm 39y.o. so if you have excuses at 20, pls die.
Europeans love OHP for this very reason, Americans hate it
>>77554679Imagine lifting a petite french ballet dancer over your head, kino
>>77554113this guy gets it.
>>77554718>europeans >prioritizing lifting strength over cigarettes, tiny meals, and bisexuality Someone has never been to Europe for long enough.
>>77552886You know that you can do it sitting down right?
>>77554739Virgin talk >yeah baby let me just find a chair
>>77552886>seen a girl's eyes lighten up after you tell her you can lift her up above your head like a neanderthalCan confirm. Their eyes light up even more when you show them you can clean and jerk the equivalent weight of her and her friend above your head like a neanderthal.
>>77554745>alright virgin you know what>if you can overhead press the girl then you can fuck me
>>77552964It's all in the griphttps://youtube.com/shorts/cEZseMme9w0?si=H-LWRtRuPPkx2k23
