Bar. Also BTN.
Bar every time. You can do Arnold press for assistance after
barbell
dumbbells don't work. you won't build any muscle with them
why not?
artificial weight, it feels heavy but doesn't actually do anything
They're fine, but you can lift more with barbell, as requires less stabilization.
I do 5x5 with bar and 12x3 with dumbells on push day
Way too much volume, just go heavier
volume is good for hypertrophy
>t. Can barely do 135
I do 225 for 5
I can do 315 for 10
my PR is 405 for 12
Yawn, just did 495 for 9, 6 sets.
Then I started my workout.
>he thinks 225x5 is so unrealistic it must be estatting
twink thinking. no worries, tops need bottoms
kek. post body
no, im dyel
where'd you get this picture of me? delete it. now.
Yes
Bar. Managing to get heavy dumbbells into position is hard and people use a pathetic range of motion. Let the barbell OHP exaust you and then use dumbbells with a lower load and good range of motion + time under tention
RETURN TO MONKE
Is this true?
>t.moron
Yes. Heavy unilateral dumbbell work is severely underrated. The biggest downside is that it takes twice as much time to do since you're working one side at a time.
Do I need to joint the circus after?
Might be hard to keep your gains while you're drowning in clussy. That's a lot of cardio.
Any tips on improving form while seated? I’ve converted a decent sized room in our finished basement to a home gym, but the ceilings are too low for me to do OHP standing. Been using dumbbells as I find it easier while seated but I’ve been meaning to work on seated bar form
Your form in the video wasn't as bad as you think, just gotta spend more time training at 85% not 100%. I'm gonna go for 225 in 2 weeks tho so better catch up fast lol
High incline bench or seated babell with no back support
Both hurt my shoulder.
How do you warm up shoulders so you don't do that labrum tear? Anybody know?
Same reps every set. Start with empty bar. Sample 5x5
>45
>95
>135
>165
>185
ezpz. see how the jump got smaller every time? this pleases the autism
Two part problem: your rotator cuff is unstable, not able to brace your scapula. That translates to stress on the biceps tendon and impingement.
The second part of the problem is limited internal rotation. If you're pinning your shoulders back, then you have to be able to rotate your arms inward to have palms down.
Stretch a tight posterior capsule by pulling arm across your body. You want to stretch the back part where your arm meets your shoulder. If it hurts the front of your shoulder then you're doing it wrong, make adjustments.
You can also try the sleeper stretch where you lie on your side and pull your angled arm forward. Again no stress on the front capsule, only the back of your arm.
Those stretches periodically throughout the day as well as strengthening your scapular retractors should fix it.
Make sure to warm up infra and supra spinatus as well with ywtls, maybe some bird dogs for serratus.
i love doing standing dumbbell shoulder press.
once you master the swing to get them in place, it's a very fun lift
I do 40kg dumbbells for 10reps but only 50kg for the same reps with barbell.
How fix?
Use the barbell more. There's no easy fix
Main lift is ohp then i do one arm dumbbells on my alternate upper day.
Snatch grip btn will also help with shoulder stability as long as you already have the mobility to do it pain free.
i did both today
kilos?
yeh
hex bar
Barbell. Dumbbells reach a point where it's a huge pain in the ass just to get them into position.
Kettlebells
/thead
Dumbbells. No I will not elaborate
A few days ago on OHP, i had a sharp tingling pain on my wrist/forearm every descend at about chinheight. Any Idea what could cause it? I use about shoulder wide, bulldog grip. I tried suicide grip as well. I try not to bend my wrists I cant figure this shit out...
brachial plexus is being stretched out because your traps aren't doing enough to hold up your clavicles/scapulae.
do more shrugs
whats your ohp btw?
cables
I work out at home so use dumbbells, because presumably there's no easy and/or safe way of getting a barbell in to position, right???
huh?????????
>barbell ohp
Just power clean, unrack from a squat rack, or unrack and sit down .
>btn ohp
Same as above.
If you can btn a weight, you can probably OHP a higher weight, so get it into ohp position, and lower it into btn position.
My shoulder flexibility is really good after some warming up.
I do btn with a pretty narrow grip, feels great on the side delts.
I like doing them seated too.
I feel it more in my shoulders when I use dumbbells but I can lift way more with BB.
Just alternate tbh
Every lift is significantly easier with barbells than dumbbells: bench press, ohp, front squats, deadlifts, ect. They should be called ezbells.
>t. can't hit 1/2/3/4 for reps
How do I do this without breaking my spine
I can’t stand up for OHP my ceiling is too low
With proper form and a tight core. Don't ego lift, if your form is breaking down towards the end go lighter.
It’s unracking and reracking the bar that’s destroying me, I literally don’t know how to do it properly
Are you OHP on a bench like picrel?
Yeah I can’t do it standing, not enough room
Do you have a rack?
Yes a cage
What is your difficulty to rerack?
How is that an issue? Just stand up like a normal one, unrack, sit on the bench do them and stand up.
Or figure out the bottom, and do pin presses from that.
I do it from my half rack where I stand up with the weight and sit down, then stand up again to rerack.
Gernally, whether squatting or ohp, try to rereack by simply falling forward...without moving your legs...if you have to walk, such as with squat, slide feet when walking, instead of lifting them.
barbell because DB OHP makes big ouchie in my shoulderz
>BAHbell
Gay For Pay
Private sessions or Onlyfans?
Pretty based. I used to have a friend that was an MMA fighter and they used to go to gay clubs with their gf and he'd dance around shirtless just to get attention from the men
Is Scott the only natty fitness influencer on youtube?
Ever since Rich Piana's passing, yeah
The bar only holds 6pl8lmao so it got pretty boring for me after a few months of lifting. Now I do 12x64 using 200lb dumb bells.
trap bar.
if you tried it you'd know.
I'm hard stuck on 95 lb 5x5. Sometimes I have to lower the weight too. Any recommendations on how to improve overhead press? Everytime I try to breath during the 5x5, I just feel weak.
use the 2.5lbs plates, a lot of people skip them.
alternate dumbbell OHP. I'm not joking, it helped me.
get a spotter.
95 lb 5x5 is respectable, plateaus happen.
add some 2.5's or 5s and don't feel bad if you can't get the full 5 reps. any sort of progressive overload helps.
>source: I was stuck there too pretty recently.
thank you
barbell
people must see you lifting the worlds weight over your shoulders
I go heavy on the barbell and then do 2 lighter sets with more reps doing one sided dumbell ohp with maximum ROM
Bar. Feels much more stable so you can put more torque and power into throwing the weight up then it's easier to control on the way down.
