Should I just combine a squat into my OHP? is there any reason not to? Seems efficient. I want to minimize my time expenditure.

Should I just combine a squat into my OHP? is there any reason not to? Seems efficient.
Less shoulder work
Your arms would tire first, how about doing 1 OHP rep every 3 squats
Skill issue
Aside from the fact that your squat should be close to triple your OHP...?
I'm fine with small legs. What now??
then just do ohp?
more efficient and saves even more time
But I wanna do at least *some* legs
just do them separately you stupid frick
not if you want to save your knees
thats called a clean and jerk.
It's called a thruster you bellend
I’ll thrust my bellend so far up your ass you’d puke my cum, homosexual
This would be worse for both muscle groups, broadly speaking. A push press won't be heavy enough to stimulate your quads properly, and the fact that you're "cheating" the weight up with momentum means your shoulders also won't get worked properly. The goal of a push press is to circumvent the initial push of a standing OHP by getting the bar moving with your legs, so it essentially cuts ROM. It's more of a demonstration than a good strict strength exercise. Train push press if you want to learn how to push press well or train general athleticism, but train squats and OHP separately to maximize your quad and shoulder strength. Everyone with an impressive push press trained quad extension and strict vertical pressing as well.

You can just do it slowly tho. It's completely up to you if you want to cheat yourself or not.
Then you're just fatiguing yourself in between your OHP reps for junk quad volume since the weight will be so light. If you're really insistent on doing this, then you'd have to pre-exhaust your quads with appropriately heavy squat or leg press to make it worthwhile for your legs, eliminating any time saved. Just do squats and OHP separately.
I see, makes sense.
Though honestly speaking my squat is just barely higher than my OHP because I don't really do squat.
if you have no desire to put in some time and effor than why don't you just minimize your time expenditure on this here earth
Lifting weights only has benefits in results. Otherwise it is a boring waste of time.
If it's light enough to press, it's too light to squat
If it's heavy enough to squat, it's too heavy to press
If your push press is your front squat, you're either weak in the squat, or fricking huge
Do it standing on one leg for maximum quad and balance gains
