What do your pressing sessions look like?
You see plenty of deadlift and squat routines but very rarely see pressing programmes.

My overhead day is
Strict press 5x3
Seated dumbell 3x8
Side laterals 3x10
Rear delts 3x10

Any tips/advice welcome

I think it depends what your goals are,firstly So for me I have an assistance day that works on c.a.t then weaknesses, my goal is to build a bigger bench press, so even though I'm no expert I try and plan my workout around that sole purpose, so two days a week, one bench and the other a variant according to weakness and stabilisers , if I were body building ......hahahaha ...sorry I'd do things differently ,

Ps nothing wrong with bodybuilding rather me doing bodybuildingGrin

Interested in this.

Mine is to get as strong as possible.

I have a barbell and stand (no bench and no dumbbells).

Can press twice a week. I've just started and my plan was to do sets of 5 till I stall progressing to 3's then 2's.

All I've been doing is strict ohp.

Hi mate.
Just a gem you might not be aware of,

But:
Mon: light
Wed: med
Fri: heavy

Was shown in numerous studies to be inferior to the exact same sets/reps/total weekly volume but structured:

Mon: med
Wed: light
Fri: heavy...

I found it to hold true! I think the concept is wed allowing for recovery from monday, allowing the best performance for the heavy day... Which in turn is followed by the longest rest period (weekend).

I added about 20kg in 4 weeks, and am better now than ever (whilst still GBPF/BDFPA eligible). It works for me. It also works well for Sheiko's students.

A bigger max log is the main goal, but ideally all my pressing to get stronger

Nice work mate.

The studies were typically done with advanced athletes so might not be much different, but being drug free too; I must capitalise on every tiny aspect of any optimisations I can make! That said, if you managed 20kg in a month I would be looking at the errors of previous programming and not the magic of a new system!

The routine works for me, but it might be worth trying again with a slightly different approach. I'm also looking at your one that was posted previously!

I posted a few up. Let me know if you want the spreadsheets mate, happy to share.
I find I have to complete a system, then revise strategy and go again etc, so have many methods
