what are SOHPs?

Strict Overhead Press. Done standing, no back bend, no leg drive. I have found them to be an excellent exercise for developing overal strength. I like both barbell and dumbbell SOHP, but find that the barbell variant tends to subtract from my bench. As such, I only do barbell SOHP work once per month, and I do it on the week prior to my deload week, so by the time I'm back under a heavy bench it doesn't bother me.
 
very interesting. I've added this in recently as my seated military topped off, so I went back to standing, and I've found we have a seated machine press that works well as a standing press (lucky me).

The SOHP adds nice detail to the upper back too!

Try doing them with a barbell or dumbbells. They are a humbling exercise. I have only done seated once in the past 2 years, I wanted to see how it felt. At the time my best DB SOHP was probably the 80's for a tough set of 20. My first try seated I did the 100's for 20. They felt like candy in my hands with the back support. I think seated and SOHP are useful tools, but SOHP IMO has a higher overall strength carry-over, and because the weight is less, the wear/tear and chance of injury is less too. I'm pretty rough on my shoulders with benching, so this may not be as applicable to those who don't do what I do.

My elbow has been bothering me a bit so I jacked up the overhead extension reps to get blood through there. Have massage work scheduled tomorrow, I should be good to go!

The 445 felt good. I was off today, but the weight still moved fine. I'd would have liked it to move a little faster, but it went, and sometimes that's good enough.

RXP;

Your numbers have improved a lot! Nice work. Keep it up! I've competed both raw and geared. Lately I've been doing raw stuff.


AM Supplements:
MVP-365
COQ10
Red Yeast Rice
Liv52
MycoGreen
Either Fish Oil, Tabs, or Flax Oil mixed in shake
Green Tea Extract
Vitamin C
I normally have a shake that I made from True Protein, which has a combination of short and long acting proteins as well as oatmeal. I have been adding a couple raw organic (and washed by me) eggs lately too.

PM:
ZMK
MycoGreen
Decaffinated Green Tea
Vitamin C
Sometimes Somnidren

I take Ragnarok before my workouts, and CRE-02 before the heavy ones as well. I tend to take the decaffinated rag as often as I can, and take the caffinated version prior to benching. If I'm tired I'll do 1/2 scoop caffinated and 1/2 decaf on non-bench days.

My post workout shake is advanced muscle from trueprotein.com. On bench days I take it with a scoop of waxy maize, on other days I do not take in the carbs post workout; I'll get enough once I'm home and eating dinner.

That's about it! I take a couple prescription drugs (nexium for heartburn, etc) but the above is basically my supplementation.
