I find a belt really helpful with OHP. A deep breath into your belly and brace against the belt keeps your core stable.
Don't push the bar out to avoid your nose, as you'll have a long way round, with poor leverage before you can get under it. Briefly tilt your head back to get your nose out of the way and get under the bar as soon as possible.

If you don’t graze your nose once you’re not close enough.

OHP is not an exercise you want to compensate for a lack of core strength with the use of a belt. You might as well be doing a seated press.

@spenceey drop the weight and do this ^ and maybe widen your grip and feet slightly

Coming from someone who also follows the stronglifts program I also really struggle with OHP.
Quite often I find my form is completely off too when doing OHP so I try to make a far more conscious effort.
