Yeah, safety comes to mind immediately when comparing OHP/PP to BP. There is relevant discussion in that thread i linked about that too though, give it a read.
Another thing to consider, that KF's standing DB neutral grip OHP. It does not resemble the PP ( that discussion is in the thread also ) but it is a very safe and good way to build massive shoulders. In my mind it makes much better sense to invest on shoulder mass than chest mass for bball. Edit : just saw that LBSS mentions them too on the previous post. Hehe , n=2.
Finally, no matter if it is BP or OHP or DB OHP that you choose, it doesn't have to be either that or PP, you can do both. I understand you don't want to make it an SPP cycle but you can do them before your main volume exercise, to get the dynamic movement benefits and also potentiate yourself better for the heavy one. Like snatches/jump squats before squats, typical setup.
Just some food for thought.

forgot that you don't have DBs. god i would kill to be able to work out at home. to have a garage...

volume OHP ftw.

Late reply, just noticed this:

Vag, i'm slightly confused, isn't PP /the/ heavy exercise since you can use a lot more weight on them? Or am i missing something. You'd be taking weight off to do OHP say.

In my mind it is still heavier, because you will be taking weight off but you will be taking the legs contribution off too. So the OHP or BP sets after the dynamic PP will be heavier on the upper muscle group. But that gets too technical and broscience and wanking. I just remembered that Lance favored PP for bball and linked it , that's all. Building big shoulders with volume OHP will sure work too and your back will double thank you.

So i've had a 2 week break since the tournament. Both from training and diet. I think my basketball season is now effectively over. I'm going to get back into lifting in a big way, try to get back to making PRs and seeing how close I can come to my signature goals. Starting tmr, going to eat clean, get on a caloric deficit and lift my way to becoming a better athlete. I can't wait. I've almost started to feel that hunger for PRs which i haven't had since january. So i'm ready, it's time. Lets do this thing. I mean let me do thing, haha, there are no team mates in this game.

Training
FBS 2x115, 0Fx122.5
BS 2x7x100
WCU 6x87
WPU 2x87, 3x87 (new exercise)
CURLZ 6x37.5, 10x35, 10x32.5, 10x30
OHP 6x40, 7x47.5, 8x45

Squat notes:
My CNS was torched from last time. Every warmups felt heavy on my back and mentally I had to force myself to get thru the sets, otherwise my body/mind/CNS wanted none of it, just wanted to rack the bar and call it a night. So in that sense, i'm happy with getting /something/ done in the end! 2x7x100 is a legit effort, for my first week back of training. I suspect i'll be able to quickly work back to say 3x10x100 before my body is ready for adding some weight to the bar.

Failing 122.5kg front squat makes me sad though. Shit, 125x3 used be my warmup. 140kg was a warmup single. Now i'm getting owned by and failing 122.5kg. But i'm ok with it, things will get better, just have to put together 4 weeks of solid uninterrupted progress and i'll be back on track to get ready for the hard work needed to set PRs.

Upper notes:
Tried pullups, different, will continue them. Being conservative with chinup volume. Will build it up one set at a time. I think i should be able to do chinups every workout really, lets hit 10x100kg and get it out of the way quickly and then put it on maintenance while I focus on PR bench from there.

---

Btw i'm giving myself a pass on diet this week. Just because, training is so hard right now, mentally, i just need to take away any excuses i might have for not being up for lifting. Eventually it will get easier and i'll be able to transition onto a dietary regime without affecting my mental state.

Training
FBS 4x100, 3x115
BS 2x8x105 (PR)
CR 15x210
BP 0Fx87.5, 6x75, 6x72.5, 7x70
WCU 2x7x86
WPU 2x3x86

Squat notes:
Gosh darn it, 3x115kg felt like a 3RM, i mean that's expected considering 2x115 was a 2RM last time. I put 120kg on the bar after that thinking i should double it but couldn't go thru with it, felt mentally defeated. Yes a warmup i did every time i squatted after tripling 100kg is now an intimidating 2RM attempt. Fucking sucks man. I'll be patient though. 3x120kg is my topset goal, think when i get there i'll be slightly happier.

I walked out 130kg in a FS rack and the fucker felt so heavy, i couldn't last more than 2-3s before i had to rack it. LOL. Goes to show how quickly you lose this shit. So i thought I should work up to some heavy rackouts, did 150kg on FS which was really damn heavy.

Oh and the 2x8x105kg was challenging enough but in a good way, i'm confident i can go 2x9x107.5kg next time, goal being to get 2x10x110kg in the coming week which is a good start though 10x140kg seems so far right now.

Calf raises notes:
I hurt my knee on the 12th rep, hopefully its nothing, fuck. update, it seemed worse than it was, combination of adrenalin and having to limp around in pain when walking. I put some heat rub on my knee and gave it 20 mins and now it's good. PHew.

Upper notes:
Holy moly what happened to my bench. I'm failing 87.5kg like it weighs 100+. Ridiculous. The 6x75 felt like 6x85. Weak. Also, i realised i was kipping my pullups. Not good. So i'm gonna use bands and work my way up to doing some strict sets of 8-10 with bands before going back to unassisted.
 

Training
FBS 2x120
BS 3x125, 1x130, 6x110, 10x105
BP 1x85, 5x77, 6x75, 5x75

Squat notes:
Well got my short term goal of getting my FS 2rm to my old regular warmup double. Fuck me, ugliest 2nd rep though. This is only 120kg, fucks sakes. But still i'll take it.

Happy with the 125kg triple, it was hard but ok. And i worked up my first squat at 130kg for probably 2 months??! I'd have to check my logs but yeah it feels like ages. To think i used to warmup with 130kg for front squats and that's my BS 1rm now. But it's coming back, not long til i'm in that 140-150kg range, which will be aight as long as my bodyweight is low 80kgs..

Upper notes:
I have to consider that the arm work i've been doing has been disrupting my bench press aspirations. I'm just not that strong out of the bottom, maybe my triceps and shoulders aren't recovered enough. I  need to sort out my programming better so i'm fresher for bp when I attempt it without compromising arm work. 

Starting to get my leg mass back! But also starting to get a bit fat :/ After the comp, i was probably around 10% bodyfat, now i'm back to 15% or so. Maybe. I dont know. So, i'm going to cut about 2-3kg of bodyfat first and then i'll probably do a hypertrophy cycle. I'm starting to enjoy training with higher reps and doing curls lol. My body wont know what happened for about 10 days, so i can probably still gain a bit of mass/strength til then, before the cut starts to affect training..... not looking for a long cut, max of 3 weeks, should be enough to get lean.

I haven't abandoned strength completely just focusing on body comp for now. Around September i'll use RSR again and work up to a beltless backsquat of 170kg @ 85kg; i'd be pretty lean as well. And i know from past experience, as long as i keep doing the odd FS single here and there, it will go up nicely, i expect to 150kg. I wonder how athletic i will be, if i get that 180/170/150 @ 85kg? Surely a step closer to that 36" i've coveted..
