Mfw OP benches with his shoulders
Bench uses front delts a lot, as does OHP
See pic
That could be anybody, do a timestamp pic
Nah, my body looks like shit because I’ve had so many surgeries and I used to be obese. People like to think that how I look invalidates my lifts and experience so I’ve given up posting body pics here
Just post something with your shirt on but your sleeve rolled up so we can see your shoulders and arms and ascertain that you must have minimum 16 inch arms. I can understand bulking up and not being quite there for a CBT shirtless pic, but if you're too fat to post an arm and shoulder pic then there's really no excuse for being that fat bro I'm sorry
finally someone sensible, OP is full of shit
am I dumb why is OHP causing your chest day to be shit? is he doing chest/shoulders? why is OP doing two heavy compounds on the same day?
he's probably doing a push/pull/legs split
Wait wait wait. If I'm doing a compound movement I should do only one per training session????? Have i been moronic all along ?????????
No.
I'd say more than two per session that overlap to a great extent is overkill.
I used to superset OHP with pullups after benching.
You can do two but going heavy on both is going to almost always hinder one of them. And recovery can potentially be stunted. Would switch from doing light one one and heavy on the other each workout.
I somehow know that pics is a spoof of Goku hitting Frieza and I'm not even a beaner
I'm going to be real with you chief, you're probably making those numbers up, so post body.
I dropped it entirely, so I can bench more. Added in front raises. Also doing lateral raises, upright rows and face pulls.
Was just around 1pl8 when I ditched it, will get my bench to 2.5pl8 (around 110kg now on a good day) and try to OHP again, to test my hypothesis that
>OHP is useless to train as a main focus, just get a bigger bench while bodybuilding delts and tris is better
Should I just drop it for dumbbell OHP? That shit is such an awkward exercise for me and I'm pretty sure my neck pain and upper trap is caused by it.
op in a month: i have rotator cuff issues but i dont know why
I prefer standing barbell landmine shoulder press.
Bench is a meme and OHP and the variations are cooler.
Great but now u gotta realise that u should drop all barbell workouts from your routine
>stopped doing shoulder exercise
>shoulders less tired
funny how these things work
>drop a hard compound movement
>suddenly more energy on other exercises
Wow, I wonder why, OP. It must remain a mystery
