i do 5x5 on wednesday, the plan was to do 4 weeks of this, then change to 3x3 for 5 weeks
but on the fourth week the plan failed
try again next week or switch to 3x3 regardless?

Have you tried lowering the weight and doing 'explosive movements' (best done on smith for safety lol) aka blasting the bar really fast on the up, and catching it/lowering it down - repeat for sets of 5 until failure.
This helped me break plateu on military press, especially in the first 20% of ROM when I feel I am lagging.

halo drol tren :)

ARE SEATED BEHIND THE NECK BARBELL PRESSES SUPERIOR TO STANDING OVERHEAD PRESSES (front)?
i saw that ed coan does seated behind the neck presses
no standing front presses
i wonder
-
why not just sit??? standing hurts my lower back.....is there any benefit over sitting
-
close grip, bench lockouts, etc...
mostly triceps

I do all of my pressing exercises seated these days.

seems like only behind the neck seated makes sense
the front ones turn into an incline bench

i don't like BTN press because mechanically it puts the shoulder in a bad position and my shoulders are bad enough already to the point of preventing me from lifting at 100%. there is really not much difference, greater medial delt activation with BTN but, not a big deal as you can superset with side laterals before the overhead press in order to fully exhaust the medial delt.
though, i think for a natural, hypertrophy specific trainign should be discarded. i don't think you can make a lot of gains in size as a natural and you should instead focus on going heavy as hell, you know? do a power lifting routine, bands chains, explosive lifting, etc...

yes totally, i do this routine at the moment

it actually works but i'm struggling incredibly with the overhead press
maybe i should just use smaller increments,
i increase weight 2.5 kg on all lifts weekly but considering i use more than double for squats trhan for overhead i should maybe use 1kg increases in overhead? lol

up the dose

it should be possible to overhead press 1xbodyweight for a couple of reps natural according to stuart mc robert

More accesory work directed to the weak points?
-
No secrets. More muscle/more drugs. It's a very genetic lift, much harder to progress than bench.

the more accessory work i did
the worse my main lifts got
too much recovery wasting?
lol
off to the gym
bye friends

go on this man's site for the answer.

In all honesty from my own experience... Drugs. The more I take the better millitary press I have. On the contrary to squats or deads where I don't see rapid improvement from drugs, they go up whatever I do.

Its true too much volume may interfere, but they even talk about tailoring it to your needs, and it seems you need to.

Inject gh into the delts.

I'm doing the same. My seated press was stuck forever. I started doing them standing and cheating with my legs like crazy. This cycle I went back to seated and it jumped up 20lbs.
