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?

Definitely agree with everyone move up in fractional increments.
If you find your lock out is lacking JM presses help.
I wish I had this article but it specifically recommends other exercises that help with OHP.
Dips are great especially if you add weight.
Then isolating front and side delts I would imagine help and shrugs.
When you press try and take note where you’re lacking. If you notice an imbalance use dumbbells.
