Overhead Press (Dead Stop)

  • 45 x 10
  • 95 x 5
  • 135 x 3
  • 185 x 2
  • 225 x 1
  • 275 x 1
    • Wanted 2.
  • 240 x 5 * PR!
    • +5 lb 5RM!
    • Matches my "touch-and-go" 5RM overhead press!
    • Randomly discovered a technical trick with the OHP: place the bar as close to the neck as possible. This moves the bar closer to the line above the midfoot, making it easier to press.
