I have been doing 5/3/1 for a while now and everything has come along steadily except for my shoulder press. I was hoping for some help. My current routine looks like this:Warmup-3 sets-10 reps - light weight3 working sets (This week 75% x 5, 80 x 5, 85x5)5 sets of 10 reps at 50%Assistance work - 5 sets pullups - 1 rep before failure each set.My rest periods tend to be 1-3 minutes, per Kiefer's recommendations for fatburning.Thanks in advance for the help.
Do more direct shoulder work. Throw in some lateral raises and rear delt work. Personally, when I shoulder press I get a ton of tricep work and front delt, but the other parts get totally neglected.
Well, you could drop the max and work back up from a lighter weight. You may want to make sure your technique is good, i always tried to 'graze my nose' on the way up. Stretch your lats/pecs. Maybe strengthen your abs. I noticed when i got heavy on the press when i did 5/3/1, the abs kicked in overtime.

A little late with this, but maybe it will help you. http://www.liftbigeatbig.com/2013/05/changing-your-overhead-press.htmlCheers, cookie
