That was my initial response. I know how to progress the one hand pushup. It's one thing I CAN do.

I dunno how you 2 came up with 1 handed pushups from that post Anyway..

Been running billstarrs 6x3 OHP with 8/6/3 inclines as assistance. Only day I can hit chest so it's why I went with the assitance stuff instead of the 1 OHP backoff set.

Wondering though.. If I hit 6x3 OHP with the prescribed backoff set, can I follow it up with 2-3sets flat/lowincline DB presses to get some chest work in on the same day? I don't want to mess with the routine, it's why I picked the inclines as assistance instead of the backoff set but the incline volume is killing me at the moment so I be wondering if this will be ok.

I do a strict, butt clenched standing OHP. I just hit 100 on it yesterday. I did a set of 3, 4, 3 on it. I just couldn't do more each set. I normally shoot for 3x5 on these larger compounds. Do I stick at 100 until it's 3x5, or do I back down to 95 and do more reps?

My warm up is 45x8, 65x5 ... then went to 100.

I currently do this press once a week, I'm off SS and onto a 4 day split where some parts are hit twice. Shoulders is not really one of them.

I do OHP, then barbell upright rows 4x6, and finally plate loaded seated rear delt row 4x6.

Ex, does it make any sense to do heavy overhead holds before working sets? Maybe 50 lbs over working weight? I might try that tomorrow...

Now you know. Seems like volume usually helps me get past a sticking point. Back the weight down, op the sets and reps for a bit then go back to heavier weight w lower volume
