Does /fit/ find overhead presses difficult?
Male
5'6"
137lbs

Overhead @ 70lbs 5x5

I know weaksauce lol

I wasn't able to complete the last set, getting 2 reps and quitting
I have my elbows in facing forward, looking forward, breathing at the top, and having the bar below me.

Its just that these fuckers are hard

I started the stronglifts 5x5 for 2 months, but had like 3 weeks off because I had to leave town

If you can't get the last couple reps up, you could always push press them.

I actually started only doing push presses in place of overhead presses.

The movement in that picture just doesn't seem normal. I'm trying to replicate my push press movement in the living room and I don't end with the weight completely centered like that more out in front

I'd stick with push presses and include military press (dunno if this is entirely considered overhead), jerks, etc.

I'm doing 3x6@150 push press right now and definitely notice the muscles on the side of chest/back getting larger. I'd suggest starting with a deadlift, to clean, to push press. It gets pretty difficult at the end.
