Stalling OHP

[julianwlsn]

Hi all,

I've been sitting at 3x5 125lbs on OHP for a while now. I just cant seem to hit 130 3x5. I've tried de-loading but it didn't move. I weigh 185 at 6'0 and my goal is to be a solid 200 by the beginning of next year. I've been doing SS for about 6 months. My other numbers:

Bench: 185 3x5
Squat: 260 3x5
Deadlift : 315x5

Is this a recovery issue? I've gained 5 pounds in the past month and a half or so eating ~4000 a day in an even macro split. Should I try some other programming? Am I being a bitch?

Thanks,

Julian

I suppose I haven't tried microloading yet...

Alright, I get it.

Thanks.

I hate the word "micro-loading". Adding 1-2# per workout on the press 3 months into linear progression is just sound "loading".

The days of increasing force production by 4% in a single workout are behind you friend.

You want a piece of me, bro? ;-)

No sir. But forgive me a moment while I fantisize about increasing my press by 4% every workout. I'd be the world's strongest human within 2 months.
