Be curious for you to tell me what makes it better than seated barbell, dumbbell or even a well designed machine press for shoulder development?

there's a reason OHP is in strong man competitions
anyway standing OHP is more of a compound exercise than seated OHP

Honestly I have been doing it to generally increase strength in the upper body and shoulders. I'll give this one a go sometime in the next few weeks as well once I finish this general program.
if you need someone to chat with, don't hesitate to shoot me a PM.

Srs question
Bodybuilding? Tons of DB raises from every angle, cables for raises, reverse cable flies, reverse db flies, if your gym has a selection of shoulder press machines some of those can be great, DB shoulder presses, barbell/plate front raises. I could go on but all of those will allow you to really hit the shoulders with a lot more hypertrophy than standing BB OHP.
If your goal is a big total for PL, you don't need standing OHP so why do it?

Srs question
A1. Press (obviously I recommend something seated) 1-2 sets 6-10
B1. Laterals (DB laterals are a pretty poopy exercise in terms of efficiency)
Lying cuff laterals, machine laterals or just single arm cable laterals are all better options
2-3 sets 8-20+, drop sets work great here as delts respond well to the extra density of reps
C1. Pec Dec or cable rear delt fly, or rear delt row/pulldown
2-3 sets 8-12

I did however see one bloke doing this exact exercise and I was wondering what he was doing, he was literally doing about 100kg but I think the safety bar was abit more higher then yours actually is so he had less range of motion on the actual exercise.Pic of quads from either one of you???
All I'm trying to do right now is to just build strength on my upper body and shoulders as previously stated by also get that boulder, wide look. Pretty much doing PPL of x3 strength/x3 hypertrophy. If you got any and all advice to further my advancement, I'm all keen on listening. Also on hypertrophy training days, I'm mostly using a very slow concentration during the range of motion just to further add more tension into the delts.
