Just look at this. It is a very dangerous movement. That’s 200 pounds over his head. Anything goes wrong and he could wind up as a vegetable. But I haven’t seen really any bad incidents involving the overhead press.
Are there any serious snap city moments from overhead press?
Yeah I’m not sure why you would 1rep max something that your abs and spine are supporting but I guess he will learn.
>start to waver
>drop the weight in front of you
>be lifting in a clear space so bar doesn't kickback into your shins
>turn 360 degrees and walk away
Imagine being able to OHP 200lbs and still looking DYEL. Strength training is the biggest meme there is.
Insecure homosexual detected.
Your muscles grow to adapt to the way you're using them, it's why you get guys like construction workers and commercial fisherman an farmers who are tubes of ripped functional muscle and overall just very strong, then guys who lift heavy 1RP a neutron star but look fat
Constructions workers and farmers mostly look fat too
you serious bro?
You really had to cherry pick hard there and it's still not impressive lmfao.
That is a fitness influencer, not a farmer or a construction worker.
The ones you see are builders and actors anon, those people are all fatties and dyels. My mediocre lifts as a mariner translates into lifting and carrying something 2 others cant and similar shiy with things like using sledgehammers. And I know a frickton of them.
one of a the most intimidating guys I've ever seen was a super lean construction worker who looked like he's been working in the sun all day for 25 years. He wasn't even big he was just scary.
not insecure just vain. I'd rather be only strong than only big, but I'd much rather be big and strong.
imagine getting outlifted by some guy who doesn't look like they lift
>some guy
>they lift
?? Wtf is wrong with genz to where they can't even use consistent pronouns. Kys
A 200 lb OHP isn't that strong
Post your 200lbs OHP. Even 180 will do
dummy
he's wearing a jacket that would quite easily cover most of his muscle bellies and definition. even Arnold can wind up looking small in a jacket or business suit.
He is jacked, he is just wearing baggy clothes(he's also 6ft 215lbs)
>Dumbell OHP
There's a couple of videos of people getting -AACKed in the face by their shit plate loaded dumbells breaking apart and dropping plates. I'm guessing a few people have messed up their elbows or shoulders setting the weight down badly too. Nothing major though (that I've heard of).
>Regular OHP
Never seen snap city on this but I've personally gotten a number of minor back/neck/shoulder tweeks from egolifting with it
>Push Press (or the clean and jerk, or any other power based overhead barbell movement)
This has absoutely BTFO some crosshitters, including that one Brazillian dude who got paralyzed.
>Behind the Neck Press
Really not as dangerous as DYELs claim but there is that one moron that tried to do a 2pl8 BTN push press with no safeties and inverted his elbows
>Log Press
I've seen multiple webms of this fricking anhiliating people. That fat black dude, that other dude who had the thing roll off his half rack and smash him while he was already on the ground etc. I'd only do it a full rack (with safeties) outside of competition.
>Anything goes wrong
Like what
If he can't lift it he'll just put it down
and even if one of his arms suddenly exploded he could probably avoid having it hit his head
When you get tired you lose the ability to control the weight as well as you can. It could fall on your head as you try to set it down.
So some dudes of screen helped him holds these weights for the split second the picture was taken, right?
>wearing two layers of clothes
Either I'm missing something or those dudes don't work out at all.
My old gym had a cable OHP machine. I got fatigued on it and it pulled my arm back in an awkward position and strained it a little but I didn't think much of it. A couple days later my girlfriend at the time laid down on my arm with my arm to the side and there was a loud pop in my shoulder and I had extreme pain. I had to stop going to the gym for 2 years before the pain stopped. Meanwhile the gf left me as I fell out of shape.
I’m never doing ohp again.
Good ending
>shoulder has completely recovered
>wife and a kid now
>145 for 5 OHP now (I know its not that good, but I'm in my 30s)
Right answer is avoid machine unless they are adjustable to your anthropometry
Cables are hardly a machine. Anyway I’m sure that dumbells could do the same thing as what the anon said happened to him.
>why I stopped doing x
>x top mistakes you're making doing y
>things I wish someone told me when I was first starting x
>why I choose x over y
these clickbait titles are so self-absorbed and annoying it's unreal.
how far down does he go though?
I'm sure people have gotten disk herniations from barbell/log overhead press with the lean back. Those aren't dramatic "snaps" like a broken limb but it's still a major injury.
Why are you guys so all or nothing
You can always do a few sets of a main compound, then move onto other variations.... OH WAIT YOU GUYS ALL DO FULL BODY ROUTINES SO YOU HAVE TO PICK ONE LIFT LMFAO
Thats what you get for not doing a brosplit, you stupid Black folk.
there is a lot of them with clean and jerk... so sorta ohp
