Lol, thanks for the shout out. I'm not a coach or anything, but just rather just an all-around lifting enthuaist (been at this for a few years...). I'm also self-coaching myself (and most people don't need coaches unless if they're a highly competitive powerlifter or whatever strength athlete. Anyway, for absolute certainly people do not need a hypertrophy coach at all lol). Getting hypertrophy programming is just simply using double progression. Strangely overhead pressing (although usually doing more OHP interferes with the bench press) and benching once a week, but thrashing it with volume with intensity has been doing wonders for my bench press (for the past four weeks). In the past, I tried to bench press multiple times a week (but I end up getting to fatigued because my ROM is large). People with shorter limbs and heights tend to benefit from more frequency work, overall.
Good point about higher frequency for shorter limb/ROm lifters. Seems to be true for me, especially with bench since I cut my ROM by quite abit with my arch haha. I've been thinking about doing ohp again for stronger shoulders and bench carry over. Do you think it would be worth replacing one of my side delt accessories for ohp?
@@EricTranLifts Funnily, the biggest muscles of the upperbody is actually the shoulders. It doesn't hurt to have bigger (and eventually stronger shoulders, which would help the bench press) but however if you're bench pressing with a lot of volume then it isn't necessary (also because you don't want to hurt yourself as well). Side raises are fine, but if your bench press stops going up or progressing, perhaps you can then add in the OHP.
@@kobemop pretty sure its the lats, not to be rude or anything :p having said that though, i've been doing madcow for a while now, and OHP has been very good for my overall bench progression
@@momohLBY largest upper body muscle per volume is the shoulders not the lats. the lats like the chest is spread over a greater surface area making them "appear large" but rather the delts are the biggest muscles of the upperbody (in terms of volume). you can google it or check images and they show images/infographics of it.
