It does build rears, but not the best exercise for most people. Better off with rowing and face pulls/rear delt flies along with ohp to build them optimally.
It used to be when powerlifting was not standard. But if you want to compete in what is basically powerlifting but bench is switched out for OHP, you can join a Strengthlifting meet.
It was a part of the olympic weightlifting exercises with snatch and clean&jerk. But it got removed. And yes, towards the latter years people turned it into an incline press.
@Horacio Nelson it depends on your body. For example dips and pike push ups fuck up my breastbone and shoulders. You got to find the exercices that suits your body.
My buddy always asks why my shoulders are bigger than his if he’s doing raises with twice the weight as me. I keep my raises light but I heavy OHP and he doesn’t
I never do front raises I hate them they feel horrible my shoulder always feel likes its going to pop out and snap up. I do laterals for the side delts but not before I'm done doing some OHP which is the foundation of not just strong shoulder but a strong upper body. I also like to do seated dumbell shoulder presses if I want high reps for hypertrophy.
@@alexrobles9708 Never tried Arnold press but if progression stops I will incorparate it into my workout. Upright row and front raises are high on the list of exercieses I am just not going to do they give short term strength but long term weaknesss and pain.
Ain't gon lie after watching alpha, I increased my cals and made it my goal to get 225 ohp. I'm at 215 rn and now my shoulders look like a second skull core is thick af.
Man when I start progressing in OHP after 1 year my shoulders and traps now looks very different even my triceps & the upper chest i look now much muscular
Tip, do overhead tricep extensions. Get them strong. Do high reps and low reps OHP. I'm talking 3x3 then AMRAP. Then isolations of course. Front delt raises to finish off front delts. Side delt raises and reverse flies. Facepulls and pull ups - strong lats are key.
It's even more effective from an aesthetics standpoint if you're lean as well. I'm not toned at all and the gains from increasing my OHP have still effectively made me look like I was slimming down because of how hard the movement grows your upper chest, upper back, shoulders, triceps, and core. So someone who pays attention to their eating habits will probably normally end up looking like a superhero if they get up over 200 lbs on the OHP.
OHP is a lift most people are not comfortable with. They don't want to do it because it is out of their comfort zone. Why? Because 90% of people are naturally weak at this lift. I was weak too. But I tried really hard to improve. Now I am way stronger. And people are noticing my OHP strength. And my shoulders are much better. People compliment my shoulders. Can really recommend focusing on OHP. Best advice ever. Additionally. It is something special pressing 100kg overhead. It is even better than doing a PR in bench.
Ohp, weighted pullups and dips have skyrocketed my gains! Bench went from 100kg 1 rep to hitting 100kg for 9 reps recently weighing 70kg! And my ohp is a couple sessions away from 80kg 1 rep max!
Alex u are a beast I have been using your novice programme for about 3 months now I can easy ohp 60kg for 5 and dumbbell press 30kg each side for 7-8 reps when previously I was stuck at 20kg each side for 5 reps
I tell you what man, when I was at my max ohp (about 220) the upper back gains were stupid. I would do lots of face pull(rear delt swing) and triceps and my ohp would blow up every week. I’m hoping to get back to doing it, looking forward to reverse grip ohp. Love the channel!!
OHP for front delts & a bit of lateral delts, Muscle Cleans for lateral delts & a bit of front delts & Rows for rear delts. Do Muscle Cleans instead of Upright Rows, basically same movement with external rotation to catch the bar. (btw all those movements will destroy ur traps and muscle cleans actually use ur rotator cuff a lot)
Definitely agree! Bad shoulders, neck and back...my work around is the Smith Machine with about a 75% incline! Paying off nicely for me and my old training buddy! We trained together over 25 years ago and got back at it again about 3 months ago! Keep it coming!
Personally I think the OHP and the Deadlift are the two movements that really determine how strong someone is! Due to the fact that there is no eccentric portion to the lift! Purely static strength!
Great insight! I see so many people training isolation movements with light weight in high reps... and they look the same over time. Your video on OHP technique saved my spine. Flexing the glutes and moving the head forward fixed my back issues!
Video was uploaded 4 minutes ago and there is already a dislike 🤔 I really don't understand people who turn on the notifications just to hate😔. Anyway, great video man 💪✌️
I’m betting a dude who is strong as fuck on the OHP and weighted chin ups will have some huge ass shoulders. Accessories are nice but compounds will always be king!Great video!
100% true. Back during my first couple years of lifting, I didn't OHP at all. I did some shoulder press variations here and there like the Arnold Press but no barbell shoulder presses. My delts were okay but nothing crazy. I started doing the OHP and worked up to a max of 195, strict of course. Not super strong by any means but pretty decent. My delts grew an insane amount and got that capped look (naturally, mind you) just from getting "strong" at the OHP.
Im on athleanx's total beast program and he has ohp programmed in. In only 2 weeks my shoulders literally exploded! Its so fucking amazing. I also increased my ohp from 70lbs to 80lbs for 1 rep and u can tell the difference visually. Great video and please collab with jeff
Behind the neck presses have been correlated to shoulder injuries, but I find that doing behind the neck, wider grip push presses help negate potential hazards of behind neck strict presses.
You are absolutely right. But... the risk of shoulder injury also increases by doing OHP. Unfortunately I had both shoulders operated on due to accidents from biking. So OHP isn’t really possible for me without having a lot of pain. I would love to do them, just doesn’t make sense for me anymore.
I love OHP but it caused me rotator cuff problems and kicksd me out of the gym for 2 months. I think I need to improve some of my other aspects before I tackle OHP again. :(
Been focusing on OHP since the late spring. Started at 145 as my max and I wrote my own program and the gains are unreal. Hit 140 for 3x3 paused last Monday and hit 155 and then 160 yesterday. 17 y/o and 180 lbs. hoping to get a bodyweight press and then 200
Disagree. Was doing (at least 5reps a set) strict Behind-the-Neck Presses with 215, Push Presses 240, and DB Presses with the 85's. But it wasn't until I started incorporating CONTROLLED Lateral Raise variations that my side Delts started to take off.
I go from top to bottom directional pushing in my push days : 3x8 ohp, 3x8 bench ,3x8 weighted dips all with 2 minute rests between sets . I want to incorporate incline bench but not sure how I should . Any suggestions?
Andrei the Llama smart idea that u put the weaker exercise before the stronger ones cause when i do bench and then i do ohp after my ohp sucks cause of incline n shit. if u only do flat bench i’d do half of ur flat bench sets with incline and the other half keep flat
I've just switched from dumbell press to military press and i didn't realise how much strength I've had all this time i pulled it of the floor and straight up and down to my neck i did 3 sets of 6 reps 68kg man it felt good also i had no pain in my shoulder at all whenever i do dumbell press i always get pain but no pain at all with the barbell press cheers alex I've been subscribed for a while now greetings from the uk.
Unbreakable Strength and Health channel just did a video on the half press to lockout and hold for upper back and triceps gains and Jason has the biggest delts you've ever seen on a 50 year guy on no steroids at all.
Want big shoulders? Shoulder press with elbows flared a bit is the way to go. OHP mostly hits the front delts thats overdeveloped from before on many of us. The triceps and upper chest is active as well, if you flare your arms, you ill take the chest out of it and trceps to a large extent.
I know it's been a long time you've made this video, but this is the best advise on OHP on whole YT. I'm only doing strict OHP and seated one arm DB shoulder presses. Here and there I'll add Bradford press because it's a different movement and you go behind your head so Imo different muscles are working, rare delts are literally burning me after this exercise. I also don't agree with many guys on YT saying using Bench as an accessory is the way to increase OHP, because I already tried this and it didn't work. To increase OHP you need to be doing ridiculous amount of volume. I rarely do triples or singles, I mostly do 10's, 8's, this is how you get stupid jacked on OHP.
Love the OHP. Aside from the standing strict barbell press I really enjoy the standing single arm DB press which requires immense core stability at higher weights.
If found that for behind neck pressing, if you push the elbows forward and kinda press the bar slightly behind you at an angle instead of straight above your head, all shoulder discomfort was eliminated. Also using a wider grip, hands outside the smooth for me personally, and dont go lower than bar to the base of the neck, that can also eliminate some risk factors. Of course I'm not as strong as you at overhead pressing, so I'm sure these factors may be different for someone who's handling more weight. I generally only behind neck press 95 to 105 pounds. Pretty weak, but it's about the same as my ohp.
Standing dumbbell press is rarely utilized. It is difficult to get the weights in position for some but it’s a better alternative to barbell OHP than a seated dumbbell press in my opinion.
I have a pretty good OHP for my weight I think (70kg 1rpm @76.5kg bw) and only been training for about 2 years or so, and even then my traps and shoulders are quite big. I barely do shrugs yet my trap size explode due to the OHP so I highly recommend it to anyone if they seriously wanna get jacked. Its by far one of my favourite exercises
Bro, love how you mention realism as a natural lifter, everyone wants to look like dudes who roid but they don't even know all the people who use roids
I don't really do weight training, mostly bodyweight and resistance bands. However, once I finish my military service I'll join a gym and specialize in Z-pressing. Tried this exercise in the past with dumbbells and I absolutely love it!
Been focusing primarily on OHP for my main press for the past 4-5 months, shoulder growth ramped up real fast compared to when it wasn't the primary focus. And going back to the bench I had gained a bit of strength there as well despite not doing barbell bench at all during this period, which is interesting seeing how my body should still need to re-adapt to the bench press movement pattern for a few weeks.

The OHP hits all three heads shit even the rhomboids and traps. Really great exercise. Once again thanks my G
Doesnt hit the rear delt as far as I know
Can Candan yes it does.
It does build rears, but not the best exercise for most people. Better off with rowing and face pulls/rear delt flies along with ohp to build them optimally.
Ryan facts
@@StephIsColdG It doesn't hit the rear delt, it barely even hits the middle delts. You get better rear delt development from chin ups.
I wish the OHP was an official lift in powerlifting.
One of the best shows of upper body strength
Indeed
I think it used to be decades ago.
But people were leaning back so much they scrapped it lol
There is the US strength lifting federation where the ohp the squat and the deadlift are the movements they judge
It used to be when powerlifting was not standard. But if you want to compete in what is basically powerlifting but bench is switched out for OHP, you can join a Strengthlifting meet.

OHP and incline DB bench has gotten me much bulkier up top in the past 4 months
Good stuff bro, that's a fantastic combo
@Horacio Nelson don't believe everything you're being told
Horacio Nelson recovery is key. I’m paranoid about tearing a pec, so I rarely go too hard on db bench
@Horacio Nelson it depends on your body. For example dips and pike push ups fuck up my breastbone and shoulders. You got to find the exercices that suits your body.

@@molehansman247 I hope you get well soon Mole. I will be careful then with the OHP, won't overdo it.
nice to see you change stance on BTN pressing; kind of cringing when i see you quote athlean-x in your old vids lol
I followed your advice on the OHP a couple months ago. The shoulder gains have been insane
Doing it 2-3 times a week.
what's your ohp after four years?
@@MrGN-yy6op negative gains. I have fallen off the past year sadly. But before this video, I was max at 135, and got up to 175 after a year or so

what does reverse grip ohp work?
@@semyaza555 Same thing as OHP. The only difference is that your shoulder is in a better position (external rotation)

I think OHP is the number 1 pressing movement you can do.
for the next 12 weeks Ill be only doing trap bar deadlift, OHP, weighted Chin up and benchpress and thats it.
10x5 on Seated BTN Press with 92,5kg going down to ears level. Natty but decent shoulders apparently.

Haha, good shout
You were gazing into my soul at the start of the vid
Aside from the shoulder gains it also helps to strengthen the core muscules when doing right .
Standing single arm press builds big delts too
For sure man
Nice name bro😁
Completely agree. Hence why I always OHP first for shoulders. Also, bent over row and pull-up are underrated for rear delts.
I’m betting a dude who is strong as fuck on the OHP and weighted chin ups will have some huge ass shoulders. Accessories are nice but compounds will always be king!Great video!

OHP and facepulls are all you need for big shoulders. Weighted pull-ups and rows too ofc

Amazing Hector
¿Amazing? ¡I am the embodiment of peak performance! lol jk im just trying to catch up to your pressing strenght (that 395 bench tho) :(
i must be cursed then, finally hit 1 plate for 2 after a year and my front delts are still small
You are absolutely right. But... the risk of shoulder injury also increases by doing OHP.
Unfortunately I had both shoulders operated on due to accidents from biking. So OHP isn’t really possible for me without having a lot of pain. I would love to do them, just doesn’t make sense for me anymore.
Nice delts and all but your lower/mid trap development is crazy, you can even see the split between the upper and mid
