OHP has quickly grown to be my absolute favorite workout...
Here is the initial OHP before I started getting serious. 225 x 5 (x2) March 19th 2024... since then I have grown tremendously with my OHP, topping 300+ push press and 275 strict.

My max for strict reps is 135lbs for 22 reps

Personally, most proud of this one-
ENTIRE WORKOUT SET TODAY WAS STRICT PRESSED, minus my 1 x 255.
72 reps total, 71 done strict, 1 done push press.
5 x 115
5 x 135
3 x 165
5 x 205
3 x 225
1+ x 255

OK so the 325 was a no go. Wasn't even able to put up my 275 warm up, had bench yesterday so probably a little shot from that still.
Only got 10 x 225, sorry to disappoint. Was hoping for at least 15.

I did 21 reps on the Viking press yesterday at 150lbs.
Got to dust off the old VPP skills that @Geoff Neupert wrote about forever ago.

Hey my good sir... do you differentiate for bench, or is it OHP only? Was trying to read through the thread but don't fully understand... I mean I can ALMOST do 325 ohp, but I've got that down pat for bench..

Haha I was bullied into allowing benches and any type of press really.

I'll compete with it. Just give me 2 weeks to be ready for my new max. I'll get 1x 315 for OHP.
@silveraw current bench max is 325 x 2(didn't get the 3 but will next time) I do NOT want that added to the mix, just sharing the achievement! Crazy to think 5 weeks ago 325 was my max, and I am hitting it for reps with 355 being current max
With the weights you're working with and pushing for maxes, I am a little concerned about bench press safety. (Blame the mom in me...) Have you thought through what happens if you miss and the weight comes back down? Do you have safety bars, or maybe the weight is uncollared so you can dump it if needed?
