I was going to suggest that he consider alternating some other upper body exercise with OHP as well. Bench press is the obvious one.

Personally, I don't do a lot of bench, but yes. There's also push-up variations, dips, push-press, push-jerk, thruster, dumbbell variation, etc. I think if you choose well (and do the same with pulling) that everything essentially becomes a form of assistance with everything else-- the hope is to avoid both the CNS overload and the joint/shoulder girdle overload that may come with working some of these movements too much and too heavy. So many people seem to have shoulder problems... Maybe I'm just lucky not to.
