Try 3 cycles of Boring But Strong with your OHP only. Use whatever else on other lifts.
Start with 85% TM on OHP.
Then on any other day do 3 to 5 sets at 10 reps per of dumbbell overhead press. So light weight and slowly increase if it seems like 20 lbs or so is too light on these first day.
Super-set these with band pull aparts, face pulls, or reverse flyes - again light weight and high reps.
This helped my press a lot and fixed a nagging shoulder pain.
Good luck and the press is usually the hard headed child of the main lifts!!!
Thanks for some really good ideas. I’m running the T Nation beyond right now and running the 1.1 over again. I readjusted my press numbers and hope this will help some of not I’ll have to switch things up more drastically.
I suck at lower reps, and I don’t find them very useful. I’m not a low weight high reps or a low reps high weight guy, I’m a high reps high weight kinda guy. That being said, it undoubtedly made me stronger.
One thing I find with the press is I get a lot out of the stretch reflex. If I am doing a set of 5 then that first rep is going to look like a fight and the rest will look easier until the last rep which will basically look like the first rep.
I think this contributes to making progress hard or why some folks can do a bunch of reps and barely move their 1RM. Slowing the eccentric ( I see some folks basically dropping the bar to their shoulders) and/or adding a good pause at the bottom really transfers better to a 1RM for me.
I start the press on my collar bones and always have, so YMMV if you start the lift higher.
