Its ok to pretend you are in a comp, I won't judge.
What are you actually doing in your shed Barry?
Are you training for power lifting, strong man or an attempt to get injured?

Just for the record, If I recall correctly, Bazza was roughly as strong as me when it came to deadlifts and I also have a max of 285 in the gym (so doesn't count) and 280kg twice in comp.
I did a "relatively easy" 380kg rack pull strapless once so I'd say 400kg is believable. Yes, I have a video...no I won't go find it.
Oh and the bar (Force USA) is bent as buggery from it.

Damn I have not really progressed much since then on OHP

Need some guidance brothers, my OHP has gone from being one of my more advanced lifts in the early days of my lifting to stagnating so badly I haven't added any weight to the bar in 5 years and it's sorely lagging behind.
I think part of my problem could be my form so I'm looking to potentially restructure my technique a little bit. I found this guide from Mark Rippetoe looking for any other guides or advice you lads might have.

Not often enough, once every 11 days at the moment
going to increase it to once a week when i go back to maintenance calories and look to really add some strength

Thats pretty much your answer right there mate. Can you do it 3 times in 2 weeks?
And id use a different rep range every time.
Higher reps first go. Say 7-10
Low reps second time. Say 2-4
Medium the third time. Say 5-8
So you could something like:
3x9 @ 60-65%
5x3 @ 80%-85%
4x6 @ 70-75%

With that kind of heavy frequency I'm assuming the rest of the pressing girdle (pecs and tris) would have to take a bit of a back seat to accommodate the high workload?

Well its not all heavy. Day 1 is much lighter.
Being overhead press, id use small jumps in weight too.
2.5kg for week 2. 1.5kg thereafter possible.
And yep, id back off some work (but not all) from the triceps and shoulders.
It should work a treat. Ive been using basically the same principles for my lifts for ages. Also for my online guys. With some pretty solid results.
What Bazza says is true. Wanna press more? Press more. But do it intelligently.
You could start with what i suggested above with the goal of moving all 3 sessions into 1 week. This is my preferred setup for a lagging lift. But becausw you press only once per 11 days, i suggested a modest increase in frequency to begin with. First two weeks id want 3 sessions. Next two weeks, you might do 4 (so day 1 happens in that second week obviously). Then 5. Then 6.
When it gets too hard and progress stalls, deload, bring the weights back a few weeks and ramp up again.
Tim.
