Month and a half in stronglifts and loving it, but upper body strenght is a problem

Month and a half in stronglifts and loving it, but upper body strenght is a problemI've been doing stronglifts for a month and a half now and the progress is just outstanding. Measurements in metric/imperial as follows: 31 years old male, 92 kg/202 lbs, 1.81 m / 5'11'' Weights are start weight/current weight. Squats 102.5/225 - 145/320 Deadlifts 107.5/237.5 - 132.5/292.5 Bench press 62.5/137.5 - 67.5/150 (1 deload) Barbell row 52.5/115 - 75/165 Overhead press 57.5/127.5 - 55/120 (1 deload) As accessories I'm doing: chin ups and pull ups at bodyweight 3x5; dips 3x5 currently at bodyweight + 11/25 uneven push ups, 15 on right side, 12 on left side (convict conditioning style) planks (3 minutes straight) leg pull up, 2x15 (convict conditioning style) I'm doing this 3 times a week, Mon, Wed and Fri. On Tue and Thurs I do 20 minutes of running in HIIT (1 minute high, one minute low, I use a heart rate monitor to make sure I'm over 170 during high) and do 3x15 leg pull ups. I'm not doing a special diet and I don't see any difference in weight, I'm usually going from 91 to 93 kgs (200/204 lbs) throughout the week. I'm taking a protein + creatin shake every day before workout and that's about it, otherwise I'm eating a common diet with rice, beans, beef, some pasta and some chinese food (I'm in Philly, PA). So, as visible, I'm having trouble with my upper body workouts. Squats and deadlifts are progressing without failure (I felt the traps during the last deadlift workout but I'm already planning to include shrugs as prescribed in starting strength) but upper body just isn't going that way. Starting strenght prescribes pull ups for the press but I'm doing that and still don't see it getting better. Should I change my accessory? Should I change how I progress my weights? And why is overhead pressing SO HARD? submitted by /u/mauriciolinhares [link] [comments]
