Roll call! wheres notification squad?! Whats everyones best OHP? Is overhead a goal of yours?
Silent Mike hit 135 yesterday for 3 reps
Silent Mike just starting I'm at 80lb for reps at 145 bodyweight. Not really an exercise I practice. Need to though. Goal is bodyweight.
Silent Mike 225 for 5 is my best!
Good fooking morning gawd damn it! been doing the wendler 531 with the boring but big workouts tell ya what 5x10 60% 1rm is no joke for the overhead press.
Shooting for 225 but right now my best is 175 for three. I press twice a week.
The OHP is my favorite exercise by far, probably because I'm just bizarrely strong at it for my bodyweight. Something about pushing weight right above your head is just damn cool.
Yup.
Totally agree. It's my favorite, too.
The OHP is one of the most frustrating lifts when trying to add weight!
Get some 1.25 pound plates.
Mine seems to be going up faster than my bench somehow.
Mine didn’t grow for 2 years despite everything else skyrocketing and doing 8 sets of pho min every week
For reals lol. I thought about going above 185 but then I knew I needed more time.
75% of my max is what I work with for the month. Then on final week of the month I test my strength to see where I'm at .
Your nose is beautiful Mike don't listen to the haters
Used to hate overhead presses, but then I started getting good at them and now they are one of my favorite lifts!
what's your max?
The bar
There great chest builder aswell fuck decline and incline bench just flat bench ohp dip it it that easy
I'm at 70 working my way up
I've always hated benching and curls
I can do 745 for reps. ohp. I work out at brad castleberrys gym. he's my life coach.
Luke Binnendyk Same Brad Dingleberry is my life coach as well. He got my OHP up to 725.
Luke Binnendyk bruh people can side lateral raise 745 if theyre using brad castleberrys plates lol
Luke Binnendyk Chilling at 1000 currently.
Lol
LOL Creatine is not a steroid and is in your food. It's just a supplement like vitamins and protein.
4 and a half minutes of quality advice. You sir, are an inspiration.
+ferna2294 🙏
OHP helped my flatbench a lot-you right there Mike
great info. I just started ohp last week and honestly it's a struggle. simple movement but can't go heavy on weight. so every bit of information for me is valued. I appreciate it +silentmike
Silent Mike started doing cleans and snatches learning from your videos and my squat and deadlift numbers and overall explosivness has exploded!!! keep up the good content man!
Great informative content! I appreciate the straight to the point approach without tons of filler. Would love more quick vids with a ton of info like this one.
Best technique/instructional vids on TH-cam. Keep up the great work, Mike!
Solid as always! Love the ohp. Great vid SilentMike!!
Hey Mike, love the awesome videos. The effort you are putting in really shows, mad respect for you guys who keep it real (you mark, omar ect)
Much appreciated vid Mike, Thanks. I training OHP now, wich I used to hate,and my bench went up almost immediately. Though because of old shoulder injuries, I do heavy dumbbells for about three weeks then cycle in the bar on the fourth or fith week. It's worked great.
Love this video and topic!! Thanks for all the content, you have helped me so much just with these videos.
IMO, the half kneeling kettlebell press is a great accessory to find those small imbalances during the standing press. Once you find those issues, you start developing a better motor control. It's really helping me!
Love how to the point you are with this mike, been a fan of you for a long time! shout out from sydney
Short, concise, loaded with info. Greatly prefer this format to the rant videos!
+poolkrooni 🙏🙏🙏
the two things that help my bench the most are pullups and strict ohp. great exercise, easy to lose strength if you don't do it often however.
I love these type of no b.s. to the point informative videos. very nice. thanks.
Great vid mike! Very helpful
In my opinion OHP is the squat and bench press is the leg press machine of upper body pressing. I started benching after a couple years of OHP my OHP at the time was 215 and my bench shot up to low 300 in a matter of months. Seen lots of guys start OHP with big benches and it doesn't transfer of nearly as well
Over head and pin press are my go to at the gym followed by dips, chin-up / pull ups then cable rows with deadlifts with bare bell curls
appreciate this Mike, so much. Just had a debate with a college student "trainer" who insisted I should stop doing military presses and stop training my bench to increase my bench. yeah! Anyway now I can send him this link! 😁
Thank you Silent Mike!
Ay, You know I need this video more than anyone else RN lol. Thanks man this was helpful.
This video has convinced me to start overhead pressing again
OVERHEARD PURSE? OLIVER PRINCE? OVERTHEHEAD STRICT BARBELL PRESS?! LONGITUDINAL LOADED METAL-ALLOY LEVER PRESS?
hit me some LLMALP 5x5 today
First off awesome video! Short sweet and effective. It would be cool if you could do more videos about cues you can use to improve form on your own.
Yes my favorite exercise!
great work with videos. We are playing your videos at our Elite Gym NYC , Thanks for all you do, keep them coming also referred your channel to some beginners with your Program, thanks again
+Milton Jayro 🙏🙏🙏
Awesome video mike!
Might be an unpopular opinion, but I always found over head presses to be more alpha than any type of bench just because it’s a lot harder to press a bat over your head than it is to press it off your chest. Also, it helps strengthens the legs and stabilizes the back and you still hit the upper chest
Yup.
Good solid advice from a guy who seems to know his stuff. Do one on chest will you Mike?
I love overhead press. Push Press too.
hit 200 x 10 today on strict OHP super pumped on that
its only been 3hours since u posted this vid and I already increase my max ohp with 20 pounds, thank you!
It also works some of your upper chest so it's a win win 🙌🏾💪🏽
Thank you, Mike! I was wondering about this today since my deadlift and squat have come back quickly from injury, but my bench and OHP are seriously lagging. Going to OHP 3x a week now on bench days, instead of 1x a week on bench day2/squat day 2/shoulder overload day.
great video man!
bench presses have been destroying my shoulders so i'm going to replace them with ohp's for a month, and see what kind of gains i can get by focusing on them. Munching my shoulders wasn't fun, but i'm kind of looking forward concentrating on the press.
Please do a video on hip flexor tightness causing pain during squats (if you haven't already). What's your opinion on good stretches, whether or not stretching is good for them in general, and if/when you need to change your squat form to correct the issue
doing military press helped a lot increasing my bench press!!
Bro I was literally going to DM you on instagram to ask you about this. Thanks:)
+Juan Ramirez gpad u likrd it
Now I want to go overhead press.
Just saw you at Houston fitness expo! very nice to meet you
#wengerout
Please explain.
Mamun Rashid Americans don't understand
Well I guess we'll see today lads
Mamun Rashid cronke out
arsene wenger = shit
OHP.. One of my favorites. Mike you didn't touch up on breathing.. should I breathe out at the top or at the bottom of the move.. thanks. 👍🍻
great video thank you
Thanks for the tip on caution hitting the nose
I love the Star Wars figurines in the background!
+Wellington Sturrup may the force be with you
Lock out pls. Helps with shoulder flexibility, which is important for Bench Pressers
can you go over exercises or stretches for lower back health or people with lower back problems
Thank You!
ehh! finally, do a video like the deadlift video top 3 accessory for bigger OHP.
can we have more footage of ur deadlift just cus its nice to watch
+Callum Mock haha go back in vids hours and hours of deadlift footage
Callum Mock ii
Can you give a weekly breakdown of ohp volume intensity etc. as it fits with bench????
Mike I noticed you dont fully lock out your overhead press. Is there a reason for this or do you just find it more comfortable? Always been told to end it with a shrug at the top.
More "How&Why" videos! Do a video about pull-ups!!!
Great info, actually doing ohp tonight. What's that outro song?
Lol Silent mike gets to make his videos in the storage room closet.. still though good stuff on ohp and watch out for nose smush
Legit want to drop bench and just overhead press tbh. Tell me why I shouldn't Mikey Boy
Andrew Song who gives a shit about bench?
Andrew just needs an hug or something
Do it it's fun
"Bro, no one cares about benchpress"
well to be fair then, no one gives a shit about any of your lifts. but the chances of someone asking about your bench are higher than ohp
That Jabba the Hutt in the background is boss. Factoid: OHP used to be the true test of upper body strength but was replaced by bench press because OHP was difficult to judge.
Yup. It is still seen as the true test of strength by the purists. There is nothing more amazing than seeing a male pressing a loaded heavier barbell over his head with strict form. That's what i call raw strength! (bench means shit)
more programming please
can you do a vid on supps? do you think creatine is a necessity??
Nuckols made a video saying he really focused, and went to town increasing his OHP to see what would happen to his bench. He said it made little difference. I think Mark Bell doesn't really do a lot of pressing either. I get that they're good for shoulder health though. Or, you can just Wendler it by leaning back as far you can and just inclining it.
How do you take your coffee? How many coffee before you shoot a video? Can you make a video on how you make your coffee? Also great vids pumping out lately its helping me a lot. Thanks YT for adding the speed playback option #maybeimjustslow
Mike, you look like a drill sergeant. R. Lee Ermey would be proud
I do like a vid on your opinion about rack pulls.
came from omar.. enjoy the vids just subed
Id love to see videos on how to recover faster (without the use of "stimulants" haha)
Thats the only thing that limits me most times, how sore I get the day or two after
do you plan out what youre gonna say in the vids or do you just freestyle off the dome?
+Teh1337geek depending on the video- informational i have general ideas written and then outline in my head. Iv coached for 10 years so its semi- routine for me
is it safe to go wide for the grip when doing OHP?
Mike, I think it would be cool if you did the same thing you've done with your weightlifting videos at Occam Athletics, but visit other specialty gyms/trainers for workouts in other disciplines. As an example, like Joe Defranco and do some workouts for increasing spring speed, & jump power. Or, like the Tappbrothers for some parkour workouts, etc. MMA training would probably draw a lot of viewers as well. A focus on incorporating other kinds of athletic training into lifting is mainly what I was thinking about.
yo! if u train bench & ohp twice a week, can u train them during the same workout?
More vids like that
yo it would be cool if you could do a beginner powerlifting advice video.
But my posture is fucked so I'm thinking of doing landmine presses and maybe half-kneeling KB overhead presses instead. What ya think?
How does a powerlifting routine look like? i have been training for years in a bodybuilding routine and I feel like my strength/gains have plateaued. Can you please show an example of a power lifting routine for the winter to gain strength/functionality. thanks
+nnaj i have examples in description
Good stuff. Subscribed. Your thoughts on BTN press?
+Douglas Ferimer not great for most- gotta have sufficient mobility but can be a good movement
Got it. Thanks.
I super rarely flat bb bench press, but the OHP keeps my bench at a good number when I yearly check it.
i just came brah
I've scrape my forehead doing overhead press trying to keep good form with heavy weights, my nose lucked out
My shoulder is fucked because of too high frequently OHP and benching. It's not recovering for half year now and it's super frustrating
"Everyone asking about OHP... because the kids can't spell over head press"
Overhead press has given me tremendous strength towards bench pressing 🖒
fek off gymbro
hey Mike , any particular reason you do not do a full lockout ?
bro science
How would you program overhead press (didn't spell OHP :D) to a bench focused upper body day intelligently?
Glad this video got so many view, happy for you #🍑gangleader
When did "Silent Mike" turn into "Chatty Cathy"? Seriously though, great vid as always. Thank you.
I can strict press 150lbs for 2, haven't maxed in a while. I'm 170lbs, is that good?
no
looking lean
marcus r lean as fuck
down with OHP? yeah, you know me!
You down with OHP?
Does It make difference behind neck vs front of the neck?
What about doing these seated? I cannot perform this movement standing up due to my lower back injury (with heavy weight) but when seated it is very comfortable.
+MotivationalRants yup and dumbbell seates
I find it hard to progress on my OHP in the same workout as my bench, you have any tips? I have 2 upper and 2 lower days and i bench first and OHP later on both upper days.
ditch bench
Which grip should I use how far are my hands?
What shoes do you recommend for the overheadpress and why? Weightliftig shoes? or flat shoes/barefoot?
Just take what you normally take to workout. When it comes to OHP, deadlifting and squatting I just take my shoes off with no socks. Nothing beats doing this shit barefoot like a caveman.
would like to see a day in life of what your doing diet wise and cardio
+Scott Rawlings for sure! Vlogging more and diet series will cover it!
Looking forward to it. I hit the 3 stone mark now and strength training is coming on leaps and bounds since dropping more fat 👍
