Some questions about OHP from pretty much a total newb
1. Today I noticed that as I got farther into my 5x5 set of OHP (at 75lbs cause I'm weak), the bar became unbalanced on my right side. It seemed like my left side was much stronger than my right because it was a struggle to lift it up. Is that a case of my left side simply being stronger? Should I do some DB presses with my right side to even it out?
2. After taking the bar off the rack, I've noticed that it is much harder to press up off my chest, but after the first rep, I don't bring the bar back down as low because it's a lot easier to get the rest of the reps in. Am I cheating here? Should each rep go basically Chest>Overhead>Chest?
