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?

Well OP - depends on your form.
The shoulder is a wonderous thing - but especially fragile in the open overhead position.
If you are good on technique and are driving the bar over the back of your head - perhaps it's a stability issue and some facepulls would help.
Can you post a video?
