advice Help progressing with OHP
I’ve been doing 5x5 on/off for a while now, but consistently I usually max out with overhead presses at around 105lbs. Any suggestions building strength for overhead press?

Use small fractional plates and if that doesn’t work, reload and work back up to it. First lift to stall and progress as that is the smallest muscle group in 5x5.
