hoping to hit one plate soon on this lift!

One thing I love about OHP vs bench is that my strength never falters on OHP. If I can do it, I can always do it. For me, bench strength fluctuates so much.

[KayButtonJay]

225 OHP is honestly more impressive to me than a 405 bench

[hovanestv]

The OHP in general has changed my bench press in literal weeks, I've been doing them for a couple of months now but never really focused on them, until about 3 weeks ago, and as soon as my OHP hit 1 plate for reps my bench shot up by 15kg for reps, honestly huge help the OHP has become one of my favorite exercises in a short period of time. Thank you, honestly

Made my way to a 1 plate neutral pullup. Currently working to a plate on pronated and chinup grip, AND 1 plate dip. Doesn't sound too crazy but I'm not a crazy strong guy, and I'm pretty small too tho. Definitely seeing progress. I'm seeing my OHP get stronger too, hopefully gonna get a 40kg OHP. Doesn't sound that crazy either but from where I started, it's progress nonetheless!

Having a big overhead press is like icing on the cake

[zblrkef]

Unfortunately, I have found the best way to bring my OHP is is volume. Which sucks because I love heavy pressing in the low ranges, but I shall do what I must.

[assassinshadow]

You have elite strength numbers on almost every lift, you are a beast and inspiration for everyone

[lefonwastaken]

Just hit 85 kg for 3 reps on Monday. First time lifted that weight and watching this gives me hope. Hopefully I can reach 100 mark soon!

Alphadestiny and Enkiri doing OHP videos, freakied0550 absolutely mogging the internet with a ginormous OHP, all within days of each other. What a time to be alive.

225 ohp is tough, it took me years to get to that for just a few reps and after my shoulder surgeries its just a distant memory now LOL Remember kids.. be kind to your shoulders, stretch and warm them up A LOT and they will be kind to you.

The service, brotherly love and knowledge you give from your heart, shows in this video. We appreciate the chronicle of your success and some of us keep you in our head, cheering us on with your wisdom during our own lifting. You sir, are a legend.

I just started doing overhead presses again. I'm 165 lb and I just work my way to doing 155 for reps. It is an awesome movement. I haven't found what works for me yet but I enjoy doing them.

[ArminEghdamiDrums]

Thats very interesting that you say the pushdowns helped you the most. I heard lots of people say that pushdowns are useless and its all about extensions but apparantly not! Also, congrats on the 225 ohp!! 405 flat coming soon

[nelsonortas]

AWESOME I too started at 115lbs max for 5-8reps for months. then one day 155 a year later. This came from gaining more confidence and proper execution of the movement, adding tricep pull downs and 225 T-Bar rows...on the same days. For 2023 I will hit 225, I'm certain.

Enriki and Alex’s POV in one week ⁉️⁉️ let’s goooo

[Dan-hdud]

I wanna see a 405 raw bench by the next couple months alex. U got this bro

[joshythepickupman]

THANK YOU! Been hitting ohp for a couple months now and have been stuck at 135 for 4. I I need to stop going so heavy and focus on my form with higher reps. thanks for the confirmation of what I knew I needed to do. Gotta let go of the ego 💪🏽💪🏽

[JamesJones-mtco]

After three years, I’m back in the game.This channel and Olympic weightlifting!!!

[wolfy]

Stalled out around 55kg a few months ago, only way out was to improve tricep work, and more volume at lower weights. Plus doing a bunch more pressing overall. Probably not far off 80kg now. I think most of the benefit was from narrow bench and seated DB shoulder press. Plus a couple days of 1-3 reps with a belt on the OHP, even if I had to push press it up, that slow control back down really helped me remain tight with lower weights.
