@@Tazy50 still scaleable though, you can do deficit pike push ups at different feet elevatations and work your way up to deficit wall HSPUs, most people aren’t even strong enough to do 5 reps on deficit wall HSPUs so you really can’t outgrow it, obviously you can’t make small incremental 5lb jumps in weight but you can still scale it.
It builds the upperback including traps too bro. Especially when done standing hits nearly every muscle feet to head my favorite is standing close-grip.
My max OHP is 225 and I love it. I always say show me someone with a heavy OHP and you’ll see big delts. Forget the BS about it being bad for lateral delts. Edit: 235 PR was made 12/30/24
I don't. For some reason there is a significant risk I pass out when I do this. Doesn't happen with any other exercise, but this. Weight is almost up above head and then I get dizzy and lights go out and I wake from the ground a second later.
@@tupakkaonhyvaaI struggled with this too. Try wim Hoff breathing exercises, the cold stuff is great, but try just the breathing exercise and go low weight at the start, even just the bar is great. If you do wim Hoff ight, it helps improve blood oxygen levels tremendously. I had to find a solution, because I can't be without OHP😅
Upper body gains, and core strength; everything from glutes, to lower back, to abs, etc. I prefer to always call it an overhead press more than a "shoulder" press.
All of the muscles you named only stabilize the movement, they don’t get stimulated enough for much if any growth. Or people would just use OHP and get to skip or reduce volume on like half of the muscles in your body.
Probably the most underrated exercise, yet the best for anterior deltoids and lateral deltoids in a lesser degree. I do overhead press and bench dips with enphasis on shoulders,overhead press, lateral raises, and high rows for rear deltoids. Trust me, that's more than enough for your whole shoulders.
Every gym session I do has at least one "athletic" compound full body/multi joint movement, this is one of them. I do them at the start of the workout.
Dumbbell overhead presses unlocked my boulder shoulders and upper chest. I do machine assisted shoulder presses to failure to get that hypertrophy. Totally underrated and wish more people did these!
I love overhead pressing. Hang clean push press is my jam. I've been doing heavy seated presses and behind the neck standing strict presses lately. The behind the neck ones get far more than just your front delts going.
Other benefit of the OHP is that it works the serratus and allows for proper scapular movement, something very needed if you do bench with your scapulas rigid.
Mon | Wed | Fri 5x5 | 3x12 | 4x8 - Pull Up - Back Row - Overhead Press - Incline Press Virtually the easiest upper body workout that provides the greatest results over time paired with healthy lifestyle
My bench press was stagnant for months until I decided to only bench once a week instead of twice and DB overhead pressing on my second push day. Total game changer, I’ve added 40lbs to my bench press in a matter of weeks, and my shoulders look sick.
Just started doing them again after years of fear mongering online made me stop. Shoulders feel healthier after just a few OHP sessions! Get strong safely and stay strong!
I was started to do OHP recently. I was pretty much strong in BP (180 kg) but I was unable to OHP more than 80 kg. 6 months later i was able to press 110 - 120 kg overhead, my shoulders became realy big, and overall strength just progressed massively. By a lot of powerlifting and strength coaches this exercise is a one of the benchmarks of your overall strength level, because you need to be strong all your body to press overhead.
If you have any shoulder pain with overhead or any kind of chest press and you’ve been doing them 2X a week, you might have or develop weightlifters shoulder: distal clavicular osteolysis, where there are micro lesions to your clavicle and it begins to resorb (eat itself) if it can’t repair itself quick enough, thus causing pain at the AC joint. Reduce to training 1X a week or if it’s really bad pain, stop training shoulders/chest for up to 6 weeks to allow the shoulder to heal fully before loading. And when you resume, reduce to 1X a week.
I have a great time with this workout but spine compression has been an issue when going heavy, even with solid form. I suggest going for reps and keeping your core tight if you experience low to mid back pain. I may even switch to doing this workout sitting on a 90 degree bench for support, but functional strength should be done standing up. In a real life situation where you have to lift weight over your head, you probably won’t be sitting down.
Overhead press has built my upper chest shoulders and traps also my abs get a real strong workout . Gonna press 185 for a OnePlus set today. Goal is a bodyweight press of 210
I love doing all those extra shoulder exercises, but I always start my shoulder workout with OHP. Makes me feel like Superman lifting up a car above my head.
As someone who’s trying to get into calisthenics…… All of my research on it suggested that overhead press is one of the best exercises to get started with
If you break down all major plans of movement, puling could be simple as pullups, bent over rows, deadlifts, The pushing alternatives are simple as overhead press, bodyweight dips, and bench. Simple compound push and pull.
I literally never see anyone doing a standing barbell overhead press, people definitely sleep on this one! I suspect its because its hard, and not really fun, but thats exactly why i make sure to do it every week
I fought with my legs and shoulder growth for literally 20 years of lifting, until I realized my body grows the best when I slow down my repetition to between 3-5 seconds for a full eccentric/ concentric movement and pump out between 20-30 reps per set and 3-5 sets. The slower movement allows the directed activation of as many muscle fibers as possible and some people (Hard gainers) need high repetitions to force growth
OHP is the best display of upper body strength. Also the hardest to progress. I've been stuck at 225 for many months. That being said, you can build your front delts with any variation of incline benching.
Everyone keeps wondering what his first 11 is - he’s showing us. Ugarte not playing, Amad having an off day, no Bruno. That’s the half the spine of the team
That’s true for the average person. Or average gym goer. But body builders and professionals say there are a few better excercise that target the shoulders than a compound movement.
Ohp is the best exercise for getting strong shoulders, they’re obviously talking about hypertrophy, from a strength standpoint you should do vertical pressing,
Maaan the OHP is really underrated. I started doing it only last week but boooy are the results so impressive I even quit doing other delt exercises. Highly recommended 👌
The first time I did real barbell overhead presses, I immediately realized just how weak I am in that movement and that no amount of fluff training would fix that until I mastered a really strong overhead press.
I love kettlebell presses and have been seeing steady progress for several months now. At 70kg, I'm getting really close to one of my original goals of pressing the 32kg (70lb), where 12kg used to be a struggle when just starting out. 50% bodyweight would be nice one day
I think havin OHP in your shoulder routine is better for general strength and health rather than hypertrophy, it’ll build muscle obviously but don’t rely on it for muscle growth. I’d switch out any front delt movements you’ve got and prioritise OHP for the front delts then lateral raise and rear delt fly your way through the workout 🤙
One session of ohp a week will be enough too, without two and varying ones. It will be great for strength, adaptation and readying yourself for other weights for other muscle groups and for that other volume for hypertrophy itself. No hypertrophy without some base and some capabilities.
I always have better posture the next day after doing these. It allows me to have a stout look without looking like I'm artificially puffing out my shoulders and chest.
There have been 4 men in the history of the world to overhead press 227 kg (500lb) or more. Ken Petra of the United States was first. He overhead pressed 505lbs at a bodyweight of 305lbs. 542 lbs is the current record by a Ukrainian strong man but it is a push press where as Petra's is a strict press.
None of those presses were strict presses. In reality, the human limit of a legit strict press (with PEDs) is around 200 kg. Paul Anderson 182,5 kg clean and press is the true record.
I also have a shoulder injury, this year I did rehab for the best part of 6 months. For OHP I started with only a 15kg bar with some mild shoulder pain, and now able to press 42.5kg for 4 reps overhead with no pain. Still have some pain with other movements like push-ups, but it's slowly getting there. Obviously seek the right professional advice, but for me as long as the pain was only a 1 or 2 out of 10, I knew I wasn't doing more damage.
@@deltaisf67 I've had therapy, rehab and reconditioning for like a year, and further strengthening of surrounding muscles as well to better lift, carry, and stabilize my shoulder. It's been a long and still ongoing process.
As a person who can do at least one hand stand pushup (im up to 6-8 reps per set now), gotta say i love the handstsnd push up. Takes no equipment, its hard af, works out my core. Only downside is i have fallen over before and landed on my head. But those didnt break me lol
A few authors divide the deltoid in 7 segments, the first being in the front at the clavicule and then the numbers go up to 7 around the shoulder to the back. They do so because the segments 1, 5, 6 and 7 are in fact adductors when the arm is not in an elevated position. They start being abductors when the other parts abduct the arm high enough. Kapandji has a chapter on the subject in his physiology of the joints book, where he states the theory goes back to Fick (1911)
I was skinny asf and when I started working out I did standing overhead barbell, seated over head dumbbell and standing dumbbell flys over 2-3 times a week. Within 2 months my shoulders were boulders and carried my physique
OHP is a must do exercise. Yes upright rows and lateral raises are better for muscle hypertrophy, the OHP is the absolute upper body strenght exercise along the barbell bench press and bent over row. Especially if one is nested in olympic weightlifting, everyone should OHP at least once a week.
Me and my wife do home lifting which we don’t have bench or big Olympic bar and plates, only dumbbells and shoulder press is a must 2-3 times a week including push-ups through mostly every workout. But shoulder press is definitely top tier exercise! Works your whole body!
it also teaches you how to keep your body rigid, because if you’ve got 20+ kilos above your head, you don’t want it coming straight down back down and crushing you.
I actually find core stability to be the limiting factor in standing press rather than shoulder strength
If you consistently do compound movements like this your core will be stronger than from any sort of direct work
