ohp is the only exercise i've never seen a twink do heavy

every other lift I've seen a skinny guy do impressive numbers.

ohp = most alpha lift of all time. The only true test of strength

if you never been a bloatlord you've never known the bloatstength. You retain some of it even when you lean out, so it makes sense that twinks would never be as strong as ex-bloatlord.

Only thing i dislike about the OHP, is unracking it from a seated position since it's so far behind you.
Becomes real difficult once you go heavy.

What is considered a good OHP?

If you can OHP your own bodyweight is that good?
Leave your ego at the door.

True, standing strict OHP is pretty much impossible to cheat on. Anyone Ive seen do 225 or above has been either jacked or a huge powelifter. I want to get to 275 eventually, but god damn it is a slow lift to progress on.

Agreed. We solve this by doing it in the power rack and setting the safeties or j-hooks in front of us.

Fast forward to :45 and see how we set it up.

Standing OHP is great but puts a lot of pressure on your core. I prefer the stability of doing them seated.

That looks like a good set up.
My old gym had one like this which was behind you. People who weren't flexible, couldn't even unrack the plain barbel.

Putting heavy ass weight straight above your head from a standing position is more boring than any other lift? You’re phucking nuts lol.

and chances are they are either a weightclass or two heavier in the off-season or they have been a bloatlord in the past.

form really suffers when you do OHP as a smaller person compared to someone with more mass. Can't really avoid arching back too much just because of leverage of weight to bodyweight. Delts could be strong as fuk but doesn't matter when the weight on the bar is enough to influence your entire body weight as you perform the lift.
Lifts:
Squat: 460x1
Bench: 400x1
Deadlift: 575x1
OHP: 250x2
Weight: 180 lbs.

Don't have heroes; look up to no one. Because as long as someone's leading the way, the best you'll ever be is second.

That's why you do them seated for stability. If you're flexible with a lot of mobility it's great.
I'm 120 lbs at 5ft6, can do the behind neck ohp with stict form, lowering it until it touches the base of my neck before pressing it cleanly up.

Compared with that, the human life is only a blink, just a little time. In that short time - people are born, laugh, cry, fight, are injured, feel joy, sadness, hate someone, love someone.
