OHP is so underrated
OHP is so underrated
My shoulders and triceps have never looked better in my life. Dropped bench because of shoulder impingement issues and subbed in OHP for the past couple months and I can see a huge difference. Running Mass protocol fighter and seeing awesome gains.

How do you like Mass Fighter overall?

Re: OHP is so underrated
I totally agree with you...due to job and life circumstances, now I have only a barbell available, so DL, OHP and WCU are always in my clusters...
I feel OHP is really a total body lift: legs, abs, triceps, shoulders, upper chest and upper back...I feel all my body working when I lift something heavy overhead

Re: OHP is so underrated
I only used the Press for the first 6 weeks, 3x / week. Now I'm Benching 2x and Pressing 1x. A lot more people should be Pressing instead of Benching, or at least mixing it up.

Pretty much, running a cluster of WCUs, Squats and alternating Bench/Press (2 Bench, 1 Press).Barkadion wrote:Are you running OP from TB2 version?jzt wrote:I only used the Press for the first 6 weeks, 3x / week.

I also tweaked the rep ranges and use 3 sets of 5 on week 1, 4 sets of 3 on week 2 and 5 sets of 2 on week 3, going from 70%/80%/90% then restarting with +2.5% increases.
I also DL once a week, for singles only (5 sets, 4 sets and 3 sets, restart.) for the same % as the cluster.
