do some floor press if you don't want to do bench, I build my chest exclusively with that and OHP just fine, although opinions could vary on that.
>floor press
Isn't that just a glorified tricep movement?
Post chest
Injury from muscular imbalance. You can’t just make one muscle huge you need other muscles to balance it and OHP doesn’t stimulate the other muscles supporting it enough to grow them. Your back and core etc are necessary for heavy OHP. Also your chest and tris but you can clearly see how much more weight your chest can take than your shoulders by comparing bench to OHP.
what about if I did extensive back exercises (various pullup styles etc). Would the muscle imbalance from no bench, only ohp still be detrimental?
if you've got a bar to do ohp with you could also just do some form of row i.e pendlay or t-bar rows.
Muscle imbalance causing injury isn’t a thing you fricking moron
Lmao what ? Okay, let’s say your front delts and chest are overdevelopped and your rear delts aren’t, what happens ?
Your sub acromial space shrivels because your humerous is pulled by your overdevelopped muscles in one direction and you get shoulder impingement, it can lead to a tear.
That’s what happened to me, morono
OP asked whether doing OHP instead of bench would lead to an imbalance, not whether doing OHP and no back exercises would lead to an imbalance. moron.
I’m not talking to OP i’m talking to the moron saying muscle imbalance isn’t real
Chest is certainly one of the only muscle group (along with arms) that can be ignored without causing incapacitating imbalances or injury.
I used to train at a weightlifting gym, no one ever benched. Dips and pressing for accessory work though.
That's very common yeah.
The scapula is fixed in benchpress so it has a negative effect on shoulder mobility. Too large pecs also negatively affects mobility, plus it's mostly useless muscle.
You'd develop bigger arms and smaller chest.
You'd have a weak ass chest and your OHP would suffer.
You'd have okayish front delts, a small chest, and small triceps
OHP and dips are all you need
You'd basically have my physique, I try to avoid benching as much as possible and only do it for PRs
what's your routine?
Nice wiener bro
You’ll frick up your rotator cuff like i did ans have shit posture.
but if you train your back a lot to balance it all, you’ll probably be fine
your mid/low chest would lag behind. thats it.
OHPs are literally used to rehab rotator cuffs
true. I was the moron all along.
The bench press didn't even exist 100 years ago and no one "blew out their rotator cuff" from not doing your homosexual male titty creating exercise.
moronic here
what does ohp have to do with chest? isnt it a shoulder exercise?
It's mostly a shoulder exercise, but some upper pec is recruited as well, the spectrum of which depends on how strict you press, like how Ripplebreasts teaches The Press™ recruits a shit ton of chest.
He's actually right though as upper pecs is what's usually neglected and isn't hit in bench.
i want him to top me an im not even gay
Bb ohp = shoulders slightly rolled forward, high front delt hypertrophy, moderate trap hypertrophy and triceps hypertrophy.
Dumbell ohp = add a little side delt hypertrophy on top of bb
Just do incline bench. I don't do flat anymore and I wished I started earlier. If you set it at 45 degrees it's essentially a lying OHP. Hits delts and upper pecs, the most important muscles for aesthetics. Plus if you fail you won't die, so you can do this without a spotter safely. Frick flat bench, useless exercise.
>if you fail you won’t die
This is why I hate bench press. I’ve had a few accidents racking the bar where it was too off centre and missed the rack on one side and I had to act fast and use the safeties after already finishing a set
Properly set safeties protect you when you miss the hooks.
Proper rack procedure prevent you from missing the hooks.
What I'm trying to say is, dear anon, is that you're a moron.
I did have safeties on. It’s why nothing went wrong. It’s fricking annoying when it happens and I am moronic in many other ways
Look to the olde thyme body builders,they didn't have bench presses.
Lu Xiaojun doesn't train bench at all. Says it's bad for mobility/shoulders.
You'd look more like an old-timey 1880s-1950's bodybuilder. Benching didn't get big until the 70's/80's (I believe?)
Yeah, I think Arnold helped get it big thanks to his gigantic breasts
Essentially this
All jokes aside the reason they look disappointed is that he has gross ex lard loose skin around his gut.
Im glad it sticks around as a testament to the disgusting gluttony that caused it. Once a fatty, always a fatty. Whether it be 1, 5 or 10 years into the future their revolting habits will return.
be warned
Shut the frick up, you demoralizing glowBlack person. You are not welcome here. You glow like the goddamn sun.

Honestly I only bench for ego sake now because it genuinely fricks my shoulder up more and more the heavier I go
Some may not understand it, just as I dont understand elbow pain on lifts - Never experienced it before. Some have strong as frick rotator cuffs.
Maybe try benching with good form.
Benching always fricks with my right shoulder. It used to snap or pop during the lift, I studied form videos, added a warm up, it seemed to stop but now it flares up a little after the lift. I've read and watched so much shit to try and stop it so unless my form is somehow just THAT bad I guess I'm just fricked.
my right shoulder does that too when i bench, tried everything under the sun, ended up choosing to do dips and i don't have a single problem anymore
Just switch to using dumbbells for bench pressing. Shoulder friendly and has greater ROM
no need to do OHP at all as the mileage on your shoulders is not worth it
I only do OHP (from the ground, so a single deadlift every set). I used to do SS.
Literally the best way to get a better OHP is to do medium/close-grip bench and then do your overhead pressing afterwards. Don't neglect something entirely because you dislike it. As a natty you will need balance.
