I've always been under the impression that you should roughly aim to get your standing overhead press (no push pressing or jerking or w/e) around 70% of max bench.
While I understand that it's not perfect and doesn't apply to everyone, I still feel like I'm missing out on something....
At the end of 2012 my bench stood at 120kg and my OHP at 90kg.
Last Saturday I max benched and hit 130 and just today I hit 102.5 OHP which leaves it much closer to 80% (not trying to get caught up in numbers but just saying...).
Could the difference be because I've got better relative shoulder strength? I don't know how to bench? Or is there some kind of asymmetry in strength that I'm not addressing in order to max my bench?
