Very. I've been going to the gym for 12 years and I can count the number of people I've seen do a 2 pl8 OHP on one hand.
Honestly it's rare to even see a 1pl8 OHP.
Very impressive. That was my one rep max when I took lifting seriously and that took a few years to get to that point. Weighed prob 190, 6 foot. Only other people I know who can get over 2 plates are actual competing powershitter friends that are ethnic manlets, the 600+ diddy types.
I'm 5'11" and OHP'd 230 x 3 today. Feelsgudman. But I also had to bloatmaxxx to do it and weigh 230 as well.
I'd be cool to do 300 one day but doubt I'd be able to do it under 250.
2pl8 OHP is very impressive. Don't listen to all these clowns. Your average gym-goer would probably be able to do 1pl8, and someone highly trained could see 185lbs. OHP difficulty isn't linear, it's parabolic. It gets significantly harder every pound you go up. If you see somebody doing a strict OHP for 2pl8s, they're a fricking monster. That's just a fact.
>OHP difficulty isn't linear, it's parabolic
This is true for all lifts but at different points no? That being said I'd say a more appropriate goal/estimation would be 90kg/140/180/220, a 2pl8 press is equivalent to a 3.5 bench imo
or just take the ripp-pill and turn the OHP into a standing, incline bench press. if you want to be fair to ripp, he's teaching people to lift as much weight as possible. he just so happens to be changing the lift entirely for that purpose.
That's fine, but still no way in hell most could 1 pl8 them and people don't do those autistic copes. I started at 25s and worked my way to 2 plates when I trained hard. Now just maintain with 1 plate.
I specified that I use my legs just to get upwards on the first one then count the second one without legs as the pr. Too much risk in lifting it from right off my chest upwards at that weight
I bring the bar to nose level, so arms might be a bit below parallel but it’s whatever. Like I told other poster, I’m not an influencer I don’t have any reason to record my lifts
You literally just aren't doing it. The bar starts on your chest, goes all the way up, and then you put back onto your chest. That is one rep of OHP. You have done 0 reps of OHP.
I bring the bar to nose level, so arms might be a bit below parallel but it’s whatever. Like I told other poster, I’m not an influencer I don’t have any reason to record my lifts
>bring the bar to nose level
I hate you homosexuals that use too much weight and think you’re overhead pressing. Bring the bar down below your chin pussy. You’re egolifting
[...]
You literally just aren't doing it. The bar starts on your chest, goes all the way up, and then you put back onto your chest. That is one rep of OHP. You have done 0 reps of OHP.
Nah it’s a legit lift. After a certain weight you’re just risking a tear going to chest level. You’d understand if you weren’t dyel
let me get this straight, you're push pressing to get the weight to your nose, pausing, and then completing the press? then you drop the weight back to your chest or you only go as far as your nose before doing the next rep? if it's the latter then you're skipping the initial half of the lift because you're weak as frick there (because you push press past that ROM) and then you do half reps (which probably don't even get to your nose level) of standing, overhead elbow extensions? kek, i guarantee you have like 4 inches of bar path where you're just slightly dipping the bar towards your face, bouncing to redirect the forces upwards, extending at the elbow slightly, and not getting anywhere close to lockout while calling that an OHP and counting the rep.
[...]
Nah it’s a legit lift. After a certain weight you’re just risking a tear going to chest level. You’d understand if you weren’t dyel
kek. so you're saying just getting into the initial OHP position is a struggle for you? your mobility is so fricking dogshit that you actually feel a straining when you're at the bottom? guaranteed you're "that guy" at the gym who everyone seethes at for wasting time in a rack while you pretend to do an exercise.
Idk how to explain this any easier for you, you’re pretty moronic if I’m being honest.
1. Bar goes on chest
2. Use a bit of leg push to get it up at lockout
3. Drop bar down to nose level
4. Without using any leg push bring bar back to lockout at top
It’s pretty simple. Could I just do it just straight up from chest level? Probably. But the added strain on the tendons could literally just rip it off the socket at that weight regardless of how much muscle and it just isn’t worth the risk. Idk why it makes you so mad
Because you came saying you lift a certain amount of weight but you outright do it wrong. It's literally the same thing as quarter quarter repping a squat and saying you do 5 plates. You cut out the hardest part of the lift. And then you cope about it being dangerous to do it correctly, outright confirming that your mobility is too shit to do it right. If you pull a tendon from a front rack position with 225lbs you're utterly weak as frick.

Nah, any squat meet will accept hips at knee level instead of full ass to grass. Idk why you’re trying to call me weak I can rep out 185 the way you think it should be done and that’s still double your max lol

just check your ego at the door and do the lift correctly you fricking idiot. no one gives a frick how much you lift in any lift so why would you purposefully cuck yourself out of development and strength because you're scared of what people you don't know will think of you? do you know what's even more embarrassing? you pretending to be doing OHP, everyone else at the gym watching that sad excuse of an OHP, and them rightfully concluding that you're a fricking clown lol. even more clownish is that you've utterly convinced yourself that what you're doing is correct.
Very impressive as Rippetoe estimates an elite ohp to be 50lbs over bodyweight. But like other anons have stated: it isn't a popular big number goes up lift, and it is probably one of the most cheated lifts.
This shit is moronic. If you are taller you have proportionally more muscle and bone with which to move the weight the larger amount.
Your weight vs the weight lifted is the only comparison that matters.
>A 5'5" 225lbs guy doing 2pl8 is less impressive than a 6'5" 225 guy doing it because the latter guy does twice the work
Lol, if anything it is the opposite, AlphaDestiny has a 405lb bench but only a 225lbs, guys with short arms actually have a worse time with OHP. Like I'm 5'8 6'2 arm span having a 245lbs paused bench but a 175lbs OHP, longer arms actually seems to make OHP easier

height should be taken into account iam currently 200 lbs and iam skinny as hell
2 pl8s is my 1rm(clean and press actually) but when i did it i weighed 235 lbs at 6'3... Ive only ever seen huge powerlifters and obvious roiders do that so its fearly impressive
In fairness seated is more like a high incline. I've never seen anyone do a seated press without an extreme back arch puffing their chest out doing more than 135lbs.
As a 3.5pl8 bencher i can say that 2pl8 ohp is really impressive. All i could ever do is like 95kg pushpress for reps and ~85 strict ohp. And my delts are prolly my weakest body part by far.
Kinda, prolly thats why ive always benched a lot. I actually did 1pl8 ohp before 2pl8 binch but later it all went to shit. But im working on ohp in hope that it will help me bench 4pl8. And it would be 2x my current bw, full natty
not very. most guys I train in the gym can do it after sixteen weeks.
no one finds ohps impressive but if they did probably
stfu lol
this sort of
IKR?
I achieved it on my 2nd month of lifting and I thought I was the shit
But then I saw some newbie highschool manlet do 2.5 plates and I
destroyed my confidence
Rofl, 16 weeks? Normal newbies usually start out with 2plates.
very if its clean. but also nobody cares. if I never do OHP and have better shoulders than you I still win.
Post body
depends on form, bodyweight and length
Depends on how much you weigh. If you can ohp 2pl8 under 200lbs id say thats pretty impressive
Very impressive. I've never seen this IRL
pretty good
well only like 1% of the population can do 2pl8 bench
>1%
lol it's far less than that
bro i've been going to the gym for 8 months and i can't even do 1pl8 bench yet
Very. I've never seen anyone do it at my gym.
I was last here months ago and you're still posting this
Very. I've been going to the gym for 12 years and I can count the number of people I've seen do a 2 pl8 OHP on one hand.
Honestly it's rare to even see a 1pl8 OHP.
about as impressive as OPs image creator's skills as an artist
Seeking validation is feminine behavior anon
Yeah but overhead pressing 2 plates isn't feminine at all so it balances out
Most people can’t even get half that so that’s pretty good, bouldershoulders
when ya'll say 2 plate you mean 2 on each side right?
Dyel
Illiterate
Absolutely destroyed him mate
I appreciate the respect
yes
>He counts the first plates
yes. 1 plate = 1 on both sides, plus the bar, for a total of 135 lbs. 2 plates is 2 on both sides, for a total of 225 lbs.
>counting the bar
wtf lol? do people actually do this? is this how you stupid fricks inflate your lifts on the internet?
Impressive enough to have not single person believe me on this for forsaken website
Let's put it like this, Eric Bugenhagen can do a scuffed 265
Make of that what you will https://youtu.be/D1BbpxIFEt0
what an annoying c**t
t. Sub 1 plate overhead presser
run along zoomlet
Very. I'm closing in on it, hopefully this year. At 200lb rn.
I was stuck on 200 for the longest while too until I started researching proper ohp form, once I did I was able to work my up to 225
interested in which sources you used. I'm stuck at 1 plate for the longest time
Same, at 95kg. Pressing 3x a week.
from 200lbs it is probably gonna take you a year
Very impressive. That was my one rep max when I took lifting seriously and that took a few years to get to that point. Weighed prob 190, 6 foot. Only other people I know who can get over 2 plates are actual competing powershitter friends that are ethnic manlets, the 600+ diddy types.
how much kg is 2 plate?
about 100 kg (including the bar)
one plate is 20Kg.
"2pl" means two on each end, so 4*20, or 80Kg. plus the 20Kg bar is 100Kg.
I don't lift, btw.
If it's strict, more impressive than a 3pl8 bench
Very, I am to date the only person I've ever witnessed lifting this in my gym
> Goes to planet fitness.
> Calls it a gym
NGMI breh.
university gym with some powershitters in it, I'm 6'7" and the biggest dude there
2 plate ohp at that height is even more impressive than normal because you have double the rom of the average dude
Bigger cope
Can't ohp at planet fitness they don't have barbells moron
I'm 5'11" and OHP'd 230 x 3 today. Feelsgudman. But I also had to bloatmaxxx to do it and weigh 230 as well.
I'd be cool to do 300 one day but doubt I'd be able to do it under 250.
If I saw someone do a 3 plate ohp in my gym I'd be beyond impressed regardless of their weight
Yeah, me too, but I don't really want to get properly fat and you can only get so heavy without getting fat as a natty.
Yeah agreed I've been 280 before and was strong as frick compared to most dudes but looked like absolute dogshit wasn't remotely worth it
Exeunt Omnes? Is that you?
>tfw OHP is a b***h for me
>tfw destroyed my left shoulder
Its more impressive because people don't train for it
But it's equivalent to a 3 - 3.5pl8 bench in difficulty
No it's not.
2 OHP is much more impressive than 3 plate bench
extremely since that around body weight range
2pl8 OHP is very impressive. Don't listen to all these clowns. Your average gym-goer would probably be able to do 1pl8, and someone highly trained could see 185lbs.

Your average gym-goer can absolutely not do 1pl8 OHP. One of the main reasons no one does them is since they can't ego lift with it.
>can't ego lift
You can push press. You can use oversize black bumper plates and morons will think they're 45s.
or just take the ripp-pill and turn the OHP into a standing, incline bench press. if you want to be fair to ripp, he's teaching people to lift as much weight as possible. he just so happens to be changing the lift entirely for that purpose.

I ohp 2pl8s at 175lbs. Standing, leg push to get it upwards at first then I count the one after with arms parallel to floor.
I would ask for a video of you doing this but you don't have it because that never happened
¯_ (ツ)_/¯
I’m not an influencer so why would I be recording myself at the gym?
That’s a push press
>leg push to get it upwards
that's called a push press, ranjep
I specified that I use my legs just to get upwards on the first one then count the second one without legs as the pr. Too much risk in lifting it from right off my chest upwards at that weight
You literally just aren't doing it. The bar starts on your chest, goes all the way up, and then you put back onto your chest. That is one rep of OHP. You have done 0 reps of OHP.

Lol that's not an OHP. My hand is still above my head with my arm parallel to the floor. Post a video.

Your OHP is gay.
OHP is killer on the elbows so they would be a machine
>mfw can only do 0.5 plate OHP at 6" 177 lbs
I did it in 4 months. You're all pussies lmfao
Post gut and push press manlet
>OHP 100kg in 4 months
no you didn't
Strict, quite impressive. Most people will never get to even 1 plate strict.
In real life it's incredibly impressive and you probably never seen anyone do this
On social media it's not that impressive because you are being compared with literally every single human being on earth.
Very impressive as Rippetoe estimates an elite ohp to be 50lbs over bodyweight. But like other anons have stated: it isn't a popular big number goes up lift, and it is probably one of the most cheated lifts.
I'm 210 and my 1rm ohp is 235. There's a t-nation article that breaks down proper ohp form and focuses on those cues helped me immensely.
I just can't do ohp normally, I'm cheating all over the place
Stopped doing it all together
Kek you don't even see 1pl8 that often. 2pl8 is a very rare sight.
Nobody outside of this board does this lift, so it’s not impressive to anyone in real life.
Depends on your weight
>sub200
Very impressive
>200-225
Impressive
>226-300
Mildly impressive
>300+
Not impressive
correct, although height should be taken into account as well
Also depends on height/ROM. A 5'5" 225lbs guy doing 2pl8 is less impressive than a 6'5" 225 guy doing it because the latter guy does twice the work
This shit is moronic. If you are taller you have proportionally more muscle and bone with which to move the weight the larger amount.

i can only do 3 sets of 7 of 90 lbs (two 10's and a 2.5). next week or the week after i'll go to 95 (quarters on each side)
what weight is 1 plate?
Did 225 seated OHP x 6 and 230 x 3 with a min rest so I’m not sure if that counts but my bro spotted me and was going nuts.
In fairness seated is more like a high incline. I've never seen anyone do a seated press without an extreme back arch puffing their chest out doing more than 135lbs.
>100kg OHP
literally impossible. show me evidence of someone doing it
i'd say it's as impressive as benching 3.5 pl8s
You are moving 100 KG up and down for reps, which is much heavier than the average human being.
As a 3.5pl8 bencher i can say that 2pl8 ohp is really impressive. All i could ever do is like 95kg pushpress for reps and ~85 strict ohp. And my delts are prolly my weakest body part by far.
Do you have t rex arms?
Kinda, prolly thats why ive always benched a lot. I actually did 1pl8 ohp before 2pl8 binch but later it all went to shit. But im working on ohp in hope that it will help me bench 4pl8. And it would be 2x my current bw, full natty
