blabbate Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Hey all. I've been rebuilding for the past 6 months or so after taking some time away from the weights due to a rotator cuff issue, and I'm running into the same problem I always have. I plateau on Overhead Press around 125 lbs and just can't bust through. I'm doing 5/3/1 and everything else is progressing just fine. Squat and DL are back over 300, Bench back up to 175, all with consistent, steady gains. But OHP has stalled for a couple of months. Diet is about 300-500 calories above BMR on weightlifting days. I've been doing 5/3/1 OHP, as I said, and tried adding one-arm dumbbell presses as assitance to see if they'd kick-start anything, but no luck. Any recommendations on ... well, anything? Better assistance, switching programs, etc? I'll try pretty much anything at this point. Thanks,Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VeganJT666 Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 I encountered the same problem, I'm running 5/3/1 and my OHP has stalled bigtime. This video helped me a lot, it basically showed me that I was doing a lot wrong when OHP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blabbate Posted February 22, 2013 Author Share Posted February 22, 2013 Very cool, thanks! I'll make sure I'm doing exactly what he advises and see if it makes a difference. I bet I'm screwing up in at least one of those ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
