I work from home, which helps with being able to pack in food.
OHP is my favourite move but as you say its brutal. I had to move safety bars up for the first time the other day.
Can someone just tell me what supplements to take, going onto bulk/myprotein or equivalent is giving me a headache with the amount of variety.
Currently taking;
Creatine
Whey proteinBut I'm sure there is a few I'm missing. I'm particularly concerned about recovery , especially with the amount of squats I'm doing.

assuming your micronutrient intake is decent from your diet, then you should be fine. If not, take a multivitamin, maybe omega3, and a vitamin D tablet assuming you also live in "sunny" Britain. you don't "need" anything really though.
The most important things for recovery are overall calorie intake and sleep. Whey / protein powder isn't even necessary if you can get your protein goals in without it. Creatine works and is a nice to have, but not needed.

I also take amino acids and Ashwagandha

I see meal stuff like the above and I wonder how on Earth people can pack in 5/6 decent sized meals a day. I've started to improve my own diet, particularly when it comes to breakfast and lunches and meal prepping, but not sure if I can pack much more in without just feeling ill
Anyway, decided to stick with Stronglifts for now, but only squatting the once every week - my hip has certainly eased off. Now reaching that point where I am starting to struggle with stuff like OHP and barbell rows; have always found the former in particular pretty brutal and I'm still down the lower end at 30kg
