Okay @littlesleeper @T3hPwnisher @strongmanvinny2 or anyone else, hereās a video of a set of 5 strict press. What needs improvement?
I honestly donāt see anything jumping out. Iām really not the most technical guy, especially on overhead. Sorry I canāt be much help.
The only thing wrong is you need more weight on the bar my son!

Nothing looks obviously wrong from what I can see. Have you played around with different grip width on the barbell?
Donāt change a thing, this is one lift I can outperform you at. 
Sad. I was hoping for something more than me just being weak. Well, at least itās identifiable and conquerable. Thanks guys!
@littlesleeper I havenāt too much. I may try widening out a bit next overhead day. I can launch 185 off my chest but it hits a wall once the bar clears my head. Triceps are the weak point.

It would seem that this is the case yet you have a strong close grip bench press and strong weighted dips which would USUALLY translate to strong triceps. I think I press a little wider than most (?), my pinky finger just inside the grooved ring. Not much closer grip than my bench press.
On a side note: how are the pup and kitty getting along?
Maybe Iāll try a wider grip. Iāve always been just an inch or so outside the smooth.
Ehh, ups and downs. Cat has taken an interest in the dogās tail. Dog will turn around and try to lick the cat. Cat will then run, and the dog thinks this is the beginning of a game. Cat will try to hide and dog will leap and bound over and through anything in his path. Itās a vicious cycle.

Our cat is psycho, the dog runs for his life with his tail between his legs. He usually hides behind one of us with the absolute saddest look on his faceā¦rather entertaining.

Duke (the dog) has no fear of Rocky (the cat).
The other primary difficulty is that Iāll pet the dog and the cat will get jealous. This will prompt cat to climb onto my chest in an attempt to divert attention. The dog will then be jealous, and will try to slowly climb onto my chest. Cat will bat and claw at the dog, and the dog doesnāt care in the slightest. Have a nice scratch on my nose from their last altercation.

Did you find one that added 50lbs to the bar for you?
Have you been doing OHP much in the past? Believe it or not OHP was a big weakness of mine until I started actually programming it as a main lift rather than assistance. Then it didnāt take long shooting up.
@littlesleeper OHP has been my primary press the past 9 months or so. Iāve benched maybe twice a month as assistance during that time frame.
170 is the most Iāve ever pressed, so to hit 165 for 5 singles with low rest is definitely improvement.

Hereās what have worked for my ohp
1.Maxing out on different presses.Not incline,just overhead presses,followed by more heavy overhead pressing
2.High reps overhead press on another day.And I mean sets of 20 reps or so going for rep prs.Iāve noticed that as long as I have some kind of heavy overhead pressing in the week getting my 15 overhead press max to 20 reps does a ton for me
@stronkfak I appreciate it! Since my max OHP is less than half my best bench, I need all the help I can get lol

Look at this too when you have time(it has everything time stamped in the description)
Basically Kalle Beck says that his ohp has gotten stronger by using heavy push presses and volume ohp.Havenāt tried it though to give personal feedback
Kalle is the stud in the weight class I want to compete in! Thanks again man. Iām bitter that Kalleās and my lifts are very similar other than overhead but I bet he smokes me in any sort of Strongman event.

Training has been put off a bit as Iāve been viewing houses. Iām kind of sick of paying rent instead of buying.
Might attempt a fixer-upper thatās in a wonderful location with a seperate basement apartment setup. Could be a good investment property, while also giving me the ability to have a private fishing spot on the Snake River.
Oh man, scary adult things.
