I got 180 today, cleaning it from the floor then pressing from the chest. Not great, not bad. Hope it doesn’t impede tomorrow’s workout too much. 45 lbs to go, once I have a squat rack and don’t waste energy cleaning it…I should be able to get this pretty quick I think.[/quote]
Some people actually are stronger after cleaning it, something to do with the stretch reflex probably.
Plus, cleaning it is awesome. Just saying 
My one rep max is at a poor 160 at the moment, my long term goal is to get it to 300. I usually take it down to the chin because I get a really uncomfortable feeling if I press from my shoudlers/upper chest everytime. Anyone know why this might be?
Where’s the pain?
I kinda flare my lats and upper back so full ROM for me is around the chin. That way the elbows are always right under the bar too. I really don’t see the problem with not going down to your chest.
Currently sitting at 80kg x 2 (176 pounds). 225 is one of my primary goals right now. I love the OHP.
Recent lifts:
4 x 67.5kg / 149lb
8 x 60kg / 132lb
Max has increased since testing it at 70kg / 155lb a few weeks ago, but I am unsure how much. Might re-test during this cycle.
My max is 170lbs at 185lbs bodyweight. Tested a couple days ago. I’m currently trying to lose weight, but as soon as september rolls around this will be one of my biggest goals. I just wanted to post this here to make sure I hold myself accountable.
135 pounds for three doubles (cleaning it to shoulders each rep) at a bodyweight of 130-132. I have another 90 pounds to go, and I think I’ll post back here when I add another 30 pounds (it shall take awhile…)
Shouldn’t take too long as long as you’re eating like a horse! 5 or 10 lb progress a week is totally doable with enough food. Good luck!
Bump. From today:
Yeah buddy! Nice work…that milestone is right around the corner…

Thanks bro. I’m hoping for it this year.
I am in, 166 lbs x 4 @ 195 lbs.
Finally got it on video:
This tied a PR, but the last time I did it I weighed about 25-30 lbs more.
nailed 75kg / 165lb for two singles a couple of weeks ago

Just got new PR today of 90kgx1 (198lb)[/quote]
Huge, nice work
225 by 4 (chin only tho) i weigh 170
FWIW, I hit a PR of 205 a couple of days ago. Starting off my chest/shoulders. My body weight is 202 and I am 51 years old. Plan on hitting 225 by my birthday (end of June).
What do you guys find help increase the strength in OHP the most besides than the exercise itself?
185lbs for 3 (always from shoulder olympic style) , shoulder rehab is coming along

i like to do my sets in 2 parts, first… real heavy weight for a low amount of reps (3,4 or 5)… Then immediately drop the weight for a set of 10…i think it does a good job building strength while giving yourself a proper set workload
