awesome, been looking forward to an OHP! I was getting a bit of shoulder pain so I switched to standing DB press but will definitely get back into these
I'm guilty :( Sometimes you get so caught up in overloading weekly or bi-weekly that you sacrifice some technique. Amazingly said though, you're right.
@@ZenTheMC One thing is sacrificing some technique when you go very heavy or in the last reps (for instance, leaning back in the begining of the lift); another thing is deliberately shortening the rom, like many people do. Or doing some kind of push press, like almost everyone does.
Hell of a series Jeff... Tremendously useful for novices and avid gym goers alike. Also gotta be said, it's great to see you become as big as you have. Consistent solid advice, great video quality (that's only getting better), and a vested interest in improving those who follow him. Cheers for everything man!
Ryan Little Wow! Great beats! 👍 I would definitely like to use some in my next video if that's okay with you? Of course I'll give you a shout out. If not, still keep up the good work shit sounds nice 👌 🔥

I don't think the internet appreciates you enough. I can't tell you how many people I've followed on social media to get proper insights into the ideal form for exercise performance, and your video above is light years ahead of the rest. I haven't looked at the other stuff yet, but just based on this one single video, I immediately subscribed to your channel. Thanks, Jeff.
Squeezing the glutes was the missing piece of the jigsaw for me. My OHP was always crap and I knew it was a technique issue. Tensing the glutes fixed it. Thanks.
As someone with hypermobility, this is one of the toughest exercises to do without hurting my joints. It's so easy to really overextend my elbows at the lockout, yet stopping just shy of that easily results in half-repping
Standing barbell overhead press built my side and front delts better than any isolation delts exercise. I did this press 3 or 4 times a week with different intensity and i saw amazing changes
Partials or Xreps , are a tool , if used properly can yield massive gains due to TuT(time under tension) you’re the “typical” uneducated regurgitating idiot that has no place in a bodybuilder conversation..... remain inaudible, please.
@@TMWilson71 yes, but your pretentious dumbass failed to see this is a perfect form video on how to complete the OHP with perfect form and full range of motion.
One of my favourite movements. Nothing like lifting a bar overhead, gives you a good feeling of resistance and activation. Really humbling too as increasing overhead strength takes time and effort.

Dude, shout out to this chick. She probably saved lives with this, literally going baseboard exploration all the way to “this is a plate.” And she’s really smart. Kudos from a fellow trainer!
@@anthonyurso9366 prop weights are for the vids. Taking shots for lifting is not easy if used real weights continuously. I have no doubt in his knowledge, didn't care if he used fake weights for shots. His knowledge is on point
Đức Nguyễn I get how to use them for demonstration or to take pictures, but he clearly was doing it to make himself look stronger, and I think why hasn’t said shit about it and I think ppl are gonna be pissed. I think he is smart and gives out good info but wasn’t a smart move and it guessing he isn’t gonna say anything and just wait for it to blow over
Best Thing about @JeffNippard videos is the inclusion of scientific information and quantitative metrics, along with experience and instruction to demonstrate how to improve one's overall physique and health.
YOU DIDN’T FINISH WITH FACE-PULLS, JEFF. CAN WE GET THE OTHER JEFF IN HERE? Jokes aside, i love your videos, thank you for studying and not being a 3-weeks diploma-and-money-hungry-student. Cheers, ~Dante
The OHP is a great exercise, one of my absolute favorite lifts. It is super interesting that standing while doing it leads to better activation of the medial head of the delt. Great vid as always, keep it up Jeff!
I bet that in studies comparing seated and standing press, the seated group leaned against a back support (as you see most people do it), making it more of a high incline press, with shorter ROM
The medial head isn’t the focus though, you want to target the full deltoid muscle group and for that a slightly inclined dumbbell press has shown greatest muscle activation. Still, the differences are small enough that it doesn’t matter much.
Seriously, Jeff is the man! I love this series so much. I feel inspired to use my knowledge from physiotherapy to make videos like this! Thanks for the inspiration Jeff!
Thanks for taking the time to research deeply, understand how to maximize efficiency and give us the knowledge for free. I can't even imagine the work and experience it takes to make these vids. Thanks man!
I love technique tuesdays! It is probably my favorite thing I have watched that you've done. I am always interested in looking for ways to improve my front so this is incredibly helpful. Thanks!
I prefer Alan Thrall's version; FROM of overhead press do not need to touch your chest at the bottom. There are some people whose forearms are longer than upper arms. Toughing chest at the bottom is impossible. Anyway, your content is still awesome! Love it
@@JeffNippard My personal thought is that rules should be as general as possible while making less exception. In my coaching experience, I would tell my clients that the bottom position is where their forearms can not maintain vertical anymore if go deeper. touching chest is great but not necessary. Just like what Thrall said in his tutorial.
Thanks for uploading always ready and waiting for your tuesday upload bro, keep it up! Great video again as usual! Am making tremendous gains thanks to you and am covering the progress! Cant thank you enough. Great day to everyone. Peace
Hi Jeff. Great series! I've been learning a lot about proper form. Would like to know your thoughts on OHP feet placement (parallel vs one foot forward and the other at the back). Thanks man!
I love his demonstrations of the errors, where he transforms into his gymbro persona with the beats headphones. That little chest flex he does makes me laugh every time.
really loving these videos! actually look forward to them every week, even though i feel i know how to do most exercises i always learn a thing or fifty three
Hey Jeff, I get a bit confused when it comes to where in the lift to take a breath. Makes sense to use valsalva for each rep, however I've been told (and can agree) that a bigger breath can be had at the top of the movement than at the starting position. Thoughts on this?
Jeff quick question. Is there any harm in slightly putting one foot in front of the other, purely for stability? I found when going heavy it's very easy when your feet are parallel to feel yourself falling backwards during the lift. I feel much more secure and safer when my feet are slightly separated. Thanks
Very nice, I think this is the best video I've seen on the overhead press so far. Clearly demonstrating the movement with view from front and side - really nicely made!! Thank you!
Great point over the flexión of the glutes. It can affect the vertical path of the barbell. And cause loss of stabilization and anterior pelvic tilt under load of the barbell. Please give a good spot of attention to this type of stuff in your videos. Helps us identify great form and be injury free. Great video!
@@GamerdutchMen Lol come back when you've made no gains on quarter reps. How the fuck does your height factor into that in OVERHEAD PRESS though? It doesn't. Squat and deadlift I understand, your proportions can make them more difficult, but still full rom is always the healthy option. Actual 2 metre *athletes* do full rom.
Standing activates more medial head, but we can overload a lot more sitting, so with that being said. Does that mean more shoulder gains altogether with sitting since i can usually do 10-15% more weight? Would like to know more cause i feel there's a lot exercises like this, where sitting is inferior technically but you can overload more.
It is best to utilize both. What I mean by this is that you can use one as an exercise rotation or exercise alternative to the other... Let's say you were to continue doing seated OHP for the foreseeable future. Push for progress on your seated OHP until you experience a plateau. Once you've hit a a couple week plateau, switch to doing standing OHP. It is slightly different, and because of that you will most likely be able to make gains again. Working the shoulders in this fashion has really helped me and dozens of my clients from having to do deloads too frequently. I personally don't like deloads and try to stay away from them except for when absolutely necessary.
@@nllc9779 No fear of deloads, I just don't like doing them as often as many people I see in the gym. In my experience too many people do deloads often as an excuse to take it easy too frequently. My training programs have a big focus on strength and pushing for PRs, so I don't like having myself or my clients spend any more time deloading than necessary.

Can you still do this if you have poor shoulder mobility and bad posture? Anterior pelvic tilt.
Jeff Nippard thanks Jeff. I’ll give it a try. For some reason OHP has always felt both unnatural and uncomfortable for me.
"...progressive overload, not progressive decreases in range of motion". That was poetry. Beautifully said...

Hey Jeff, I get a bit confused when it comes to where in the lift to take a breath. Makes sense to use valsalva for each rep, however I've been told (and can agree) that a bigger breath can be had at the top of the movement than at the starting position. Thoughts on this?
I am blown away by your perfect demonstration of the OHP
Jeff: don't press up and back.
*Immediately presses up and back in his demonstration...
Yeah, that's weird, he leans backward to allow the straight line just once
As you should. I don’t know how he advises against it. You should think of making a Y sign when OHPing
This is an extremely impressive video. The Information, editing and graphics. Well done...

Would like to know more cause i feel there's a lot exercises like this, where sitting is inferior technically but you can overload more.
The difference is likely negligible. Lateral raises and upright rows are going to build your side delts, not OHP - seated or standing.
It is best to utilize both.
