OHP without a proper rack

[Taliesin]

Hello there.

What can I do if my gym doesn't have the proper rack to make overhead presses? Do I have to power clean it from the floor or is there another way? Is that sustainable over time when my OHP goes up or do I have to change gyms?

Thanks.

Do you not have a squat rack? I've yet to see one that you can't squat / press outside of the rack.

Other than that, yes, you would clean the weight. There are worse things in the world, and, in fact, this was once an Olympic event.

Granted, I'm an old dinosaur...but I still clean the weight for my OHP sets. In fact, just finished today's training a few minutes ago. There's something satisfying about it. (At least that's what I tell myself.)
