Nice lift, Mate! Good looking home gym setup there, too. You've got the essentials covered.

Wow you really can do that... Holy shit.

I would never lie to you . I told you last week it was 5 I had to get one more just because. I know the last one was ugly and my legs were shaking like crazy but you challenged me. That's what a good coach does.

I wish we still had a like and thanks button.
Thanks guys Believe it or not 2 years ago when I first started OHP I used the bar to warm up and my heavies set was a pair of dimes on each side. I wear my belt now because when I got to 185 x 10 my lower back made some funny snaps and cracks once, the belt really helps stability.

Thanks for all the flowers guys it is one of my better lifts. My squat and deadlift are coming along nicely but they are a little out of wack. Bench 375 squat 385??? I work on them all at once and refuse to stop going forward with my bench to bring up the other two. I really think that the OHP is one of the reasons that my bench has progressed so fast, I will hit limit soon though I'm not going over 400. Id rather back up and be able to do 315 for 10 or 12 or even 15. I think that would be cool 315 x 15

Damn, very impressive. You'll be doing 315 in no time at all! How are those rotator cuffs doing? I had to start doing separate exercises on shoulder day and chest day to keep them from getting all bent out of shape as they would lack.

I am always worried about my rotator cuffs . I go really slow up in weight with these. I only add 5 pounds a month and always do my 5 sets of 10 after my heavy lift.

On the bright side you're doing them standing and with actual free weights. I see way too many guys trying heavy OHP with a smith machine, which just isn't natural and almost always ends up causing injury. Keep at it though, you have good form and are definitely strong as hell! :)
