[@kristoff3529]

No, they are mostly just joking

[@CHEEDSICLE]

Sometimes when I overhead press, I'll end up push pressing the last few rep/s of the set. Helps you get a few more in. As long as you control the negative, I think it's a good addition to the exercise.

[@ScottHermanFitness]

I suggest you just lower the weight when you start having to bounce, and then drop the weight so you can grind out a few extra :)

[@SueRosalie]

no don't resort to push press, it's cheating because it's easier but you're losing the benefit and not training to get stronger

Hey Scott you are the best! I got more gains this year with your videos than the gains I made in the past 2 years combined together. Thank you sooooo much and can you please do a video regards to the dosage of bcaa? There's are so many version on the internet. And I have been having some mood swingings recently. I don't know if that has to do with megadosing bcaa or just the stress from life. You're the most reliable resource I have in mind. Please find a chance to do a video about it！！！thank you so much!

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Thanks Thorian! Years of learning and lots of time researching :)

[@C4Media2008]

So good. I'm really glad you described the time for the negative. From my research as a PTrainer it's been said that too slow of a eccentric movement actually recruits too many cross bridges in the contraction which limits muscle fiber breakdown. Great video. I like to progress my overhead press into push press all in the same day, thoughts?

[@jonnies]

If you're completely spent and can't do another rep normally, but still want more burn, it's ok to use some momentum to get it up and then do a really slow eccentric back down to achieve max overload of the muscles.

[@ScottHermanFitness]

+jonnies oh yeah. Thats totally ok... just as long as its not your third rep... know what i mean? :-D

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Thanks Robert!!

[@Interphased]

Great video as always, Scott. It's amazing how many people don't do this workout correctly. A friend of mine does the push-press method of OH press. I told him that he shouldn't be using his legs at all throughout the movement and that they should be locked with the quads flexed. He replied "Why would I do that? It just makes the lift so much harder". Had to resist the urge to tickle his armpit so he'd drop the barbell on his thick skull.

[@ScottHermanFitness]

hahaha. All you can do is try to help him, if he wants to remain ignorant then that's his problem :) Did you explain to him that an OHP is SUPPOSED to be harder??

[@Interphased]

ScottHermanFitness I did, but in his mind he is building more muscle if he's lifting more weight. even if he's not doing the exercise properly and missing out on activating the key muscles OHP is invented for lol. He's just a classic meathead who wants to impress people by lifting weights he has no business lifting lol

[@boonb1]

awesome Scott I can't wait for the full body vs splits vid. it's gonna be gold I got a question could you brake down training programs like concurrent, linear, and periodization

[@ScottHermanFitness]

That would be a super long answer my friend...so I'll give you the short version. Concurrent training is doing strength & cardio together. There's a lot of debate around whether it will actually lead to muscle gain or not, but if you plan the volume you do of each properly (i.e don't overdo cardio), it can work great. Periodization is probably best for strength, and linear while also partially strength focused, is still going to help you get bigger too. Not saying that periodization won't, just that liner is probably more geared towards gaining muscle & strength, whereas periodization is mostly about strength.

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Happy to help!!

[@shahusta]

Is it advisable to use a split stance (one foot slightly back and heel up) to prevent you leaning back and putting pressure on your lower back? In Bodypump we are told to overhead press with a split stance, and that stance has definitely made the exercise a lot safer for me (as well as allowing me to press more weight - is this because a split stance actually creates both a natural lean back and a push spring?). So should I use the same stance for heavy low-rep OHPs? I've been doing it, but worry that it's somewhat unstable (I sometime lose balance) and is compromising my development.

[@triples6670]

damn,, i was doing a push press the whole time, thank you for sharing this video.. now i realize that mistake and change it to overhead press,, it's more harder to lift and unfortunately i need to decrease my lift to get a better form

[@agreatgig]

just wondering if bringing the barbell overhead should cause external shoulder rotation injury? Greets from Mexico 😊

[@timclayden7195]

Great vid Scott, just started focussing on my OHP to try and bring it up. Gonna try this reverse pyramid set today.

[@breonix23]

Hey Scott! Hey Nation! Just wanted to drop by to ask a question hoping that I can get some answers because I'm a bit stumped to be honest. I'm 20 years old standing at 5'4" and weighing in at about ~65 kilograms. (Its not all muscle. I know I have a lot of fat to burn off.) I've had 8 complex orthopedic surgeries for both legs and it has left my left knee and my left ankle in a disadvantaged position. My right leg is completely fine. Its strong and it has some nice mass on it. My left leg, however, is a bit disappointing. I can't bend my knee further inwards than about 100 degrees from my thigh and I pretty much have no vertical mobility on my ankle. I can just move it left to right. All of this is because of structural damage to the ligaments with all the surgeries. Given that I can't get the proper bend, thus, not being able to achieve full extensions on exercises like squats and the leg press, what other options or alternative do I have to gain muscle on my legs? I'm really looking for help here, guys. :( Thank you for taking the time to hear me out, Nation. Wish you the best!

[@jeetsohpal557]

Hi Scott. Inhale at start of rep, exhale when weight is back at start position?

[@abhishekmahendru1583]

Scott, does doing dumb bell shoulder press standing work your entire front, middle, and rear shoulders? Also, can you show shoulder exercises for all three? I am having the hardest time working my shoulders.

[@theresiacanniff2447]

I have been doing the barbell OH press seated and I find that my back is really arching or maybe it just feels that way. I was watching to see if you'd show that as a mistake but I don't think you did. Either way, I took something away from this and I know I just need to keep my core tight - maybe my weights are too heavy and that's why I'm arching.

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Well I showed the back arching from a standing position. The same rules apply if you are sitting - make sure you keep a tight core, and do your best to keep your butt touching the bottom of the back pad.

[@robshapeshifter5853]

I actually performed this exercise earlier today! Great tips Scott!

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Nice! I hope you didn't make any of these mistakes! :D

[@robshapeshifter5853]

I'd give myself an A-, lol

[@michaeldaniels2278]

I lean back far enough to let the bar pass my chin and make sure that im pressing the bar in a straight vertical line. As for grip width, I think your forearms should be perpendicular to the barbell and elbows should be directly underneath the bar.

[@GeorgeKershawBMX]

Some great information here! I have a weird pain that occurs only on my right side when doing this exercise though and am wondering if you can help me find the cause to the problem. The pain is a muscular pair on the side of my delt/near my tricep. It only happens when I fully extend at the end of the press. No other exercises at all cause me this pain, purely just this exercise. Doing dumbbell press causes no pain at all, but I don't find it as fun of an exercise. I have tried foam rolling the area that the pain occurs prior to the exercise, but no luck. Any info on this would be greatly appreciated, thanks a lot!

[@ScottHermanFitness]

It's hard to say what it could be. You might have a pinched nerve somewhere, and it could just be tight muscles. Have you seen a sports therapist so they can dig around?

[@GeorgeKershawBMX]

ScottHermanFitness Thanks for the reply! Not yet, I was hoping that wouldn't be needed

[@k123n]

Is there any difference in doing seated db shoulder press rather than overhead press? i have struggles bringing the barbell up to starting position when i do overhead press lol

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Seated is OK too, but it will generally be easier because you don't have to stablize your core as much. Did you see my VS video for DB Shoulder Press Vs BB Shoulder Press? kzbin.info/www/bejne/fqOalKebdpmYmNk

can I add my ca keys to the bahbell for added weight so I can maximize the exa-size

[@blurry_eyes]

every time that I see advice about hand or feet placement, or proper form for that matter, I think "well, that is obvious" but putting it into practice is the hard part, and in this case my shoulders tend to roll in naturally so I have a bit wider grip/stance. what do you recommend to correct this so it feels natural with the width that you recommend ? my concern is to force a stance and then injure myself. Thanks Scott

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Keep your chest up and your shoulder blades retracted, that should help keep them from rolling in :)

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Happy to help! Take in a breath before you start the movement, and tighten your core. Then exhale AFTER your have brought the bar back to your chest. Otherwise you will fold in half like an accordian.

[@imalifeformknownasmanuel3019]

Oh wow, I've been doing it wrong lol. I would Breathe in when i had the bar at my chest but breathe out when i had the bar at the top. Thanks a lot.

[@dgnantes4177]

How about breathing? inhale going up and exhale going down? or vice versa? thanks

[@mattjoe182]

DG NANTES he says hold it going up

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Take in a breath before you push it up, and don't exhale until you have lowered it back to your chest. This is what will keep you core tight, and what will stop you from folding in half like an accordian :)

Happy to help!!

[@macleansmith5763]

If I'm not mistaken, the rep scheme you describe at the end of the video is actually regular pyramid style, starting with high reps/lower weight and working down to low reps/heavier weight. Reverse pyramid would be the opposite, performing your first set as heavy as possible for low reps, and then decreasing the weight while adding reps on the following sets.

[@ScottHermanFitness]

No it is reverse pyramid, trust me :)

[@jasonpham6422]

1. Handgrip - not too far nor narrow 2. Core control - take a breathe and hold 3. Push the barbell vertically - upper chests vs shoulders 4. Range of motion 5. Control the negative- eccentric portion 6. Push press vs Overhead press 7. Push press to break plateau

[@OneBritish13]

Regarding mistake number 6, wouldn't you say using good form in the majority of your reps, then using a slight push-press to force out some more repetitions, and slowly controlling the negative portion of the rep (as obviously this breaks down the most muscle fibres) would be a good way to break through a strength plateau/build even more muscle with force reps?

[@ScottHermanFitness]

No. If you get to the point where you're failing during an OHP, just lower the weight and do a drop set to push out some more reps. Otherwise you're basically cheating the movement :)

[@OneBritish13]

ScottHermanFitness ok thanks man, I'll keep that in mind :)

[@wcw2793]

Hey Scott, I was focusing on my one rep max at 155 (trying to work up to 225 like you). I did the rep and controlled the bar all the way down, but when I was finished my left tricep felt a little warm and sore (no searing pain or anything) like I had done a set of tricep extensions. I know triceps are a secondary muscle that are activated on shoulder presses, but I should I be feeling soreness in them after hitting a heavy set of standing overhead press?

[@ryann8348]

Depending on your execution, shoulder/tricep emphasis can vary. I use a pretty narrow grip with the elbows way out in front rather than down (more like a jerk grip), and I have never felt this movement in my delts.

[@ernestmix]

I just did these today but I used a fixed barbell and I superset it with some shoulder upright rows. You really feel the burn right there!!

[@RickyMcSpanish]

I know this video is 6 years old but all the advice in here is really solid advice and will take it into my next workout thanks for the tips 👌👍

[@jasonhawkins8022]

Is it bad to go with a curl bar, doing a set of curls strait into a set of overhead press and back to a different grip curl as a single set? Or should I be doing one exercise completing all three or four sets before doing the other exercises? Fairly new to working out, Not to mention my elbows and shoulders pop like fireworks during my workouts.

[@ScottHermanFitness]

That is a superset, and that's fine to do. I suggest you do the OHP, do your curl, then rest for 60-90 seconds, then do the same thing again. That is how a superset works :)

[@jasonhawkins8022]

ScottHermanFitness Thanks for the information.

[@bodybuilder718]

As a powerlifter, this explanation is okay but some key factors are wrong. There is strength involved in this lift but it has technique to it as well. We call it the rebound, we present the chest to the sky which gives us an arch and we rebound that with the hips, not just bending your back and cause an injury. The cue is to have the spine neutral and flex the glutes and use the hips core and back as one and spring it up like a piston. Striaght up and down is great but once the weight gets really heavy you need to incorporate more techniques to get the weight up and keep you as safe as possible.

[@BossofBosses111]

You SHOULD NOT be "springing" anything for a strict overhead press. Your glutes, legs, hips and core SHOULD NOT MOVE.

[@AMS-rt9yf]

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Every workout has concentric and eccentric movements...if it doesn't there is something seriously wrong lol. Concentric means the positive portion of the movement (a bench press would be pressing the weight up), and eccentric is the negative (a bench press would be lowering the weight to your chest). Isometric movements are where you hold the weight in one spot for a period of time (a bench press might be hold it on your chest for 5-10 seconds, then pressing it up). If you are looking for a program, I have two on my site - muscularstrength.com/12-week-challenge-workouts

great video Scott, I'm going to forward this to my friend who doesn't think it makes it easier to not go all the way down to your chest/shoulders...he stops at like his mouth/ chin, what are your thoughts on that form

[@Rushman666]

he also bolsters how strong his OHP is to mine, where I use full range of motion

[@ScottHermanFitness]

+David Rush its not full range of motion. He needs to bring it down! And thanks!!

[@alextirnovean4146]

I can only perform a split stance overhead press at my gym because of the low ceiling. Would his be an issue in the long run ?

[@ScottHermanFitness]

No that should be fine if that's all you can do :)

[@respectedcrayon5219]

Great video. Why do you have so many kegs in the background?

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Strongman equipment :)

[@emptywords9569]

Scott, is it fine that you do everything right but last 2 or 3 reps you use push press and then you are slow on the negative part of the motion ?

[@ScottHermanFitness]

I suggest you just lower the weight once your form starts to break down and grind out a few more reps like that :)

[@furkanfb42]

i am doing it with dumbells, should i also do the overhead press with the barbell ? or is it one of the other should be incoperated in your workouts?

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Doing it with dumbbells is fine, in fact you'll potentially build more muscle that way. You can switch them up from time to time if you like. Did you see my VS video? kzbin.info/www/bejne/fqOalKebdpmYmNk

"The word barbarian was used originally by the Greeks to refer to any non-Greek: Egyptians, Persians, Indians, Celts, Germans, Phoenicians, Etruscans, Macedonians, Carthaginians, Vikings, Goths - all of these became known as barbarians. The ancient Greek word βάρβαρος (bárbaros) meant “babbler.” To the Greek ear, someone who did not speak the Greek language babbled, producing the onomatopoeic sound “bar bar bar” which became bárbaros, and later barbaria in Latin."

[@marcotulio8573]

I have a question: should I put a foot in front of the other or equal

[@qaylarceus8385]

Scott, could you please make video about workout movement that we thought is good but actually lead us to injury (such as Upright Row that i think good movement but later on it will lead to shoulder injury)

[@ScottHermanFitness]

+Qayl Arceus i already have a video on tht. Search my TRAPS video :)

[@movevolutionphysicalperfor3132]
