Nice man, keep it up.
Strict standing OHP is, IMO, the single best mass / strength builder for the upper body (shoulders, upper pecs, upper back, core, posterior chain; lats and quads as stabilizers). So I do it very often. Never do any other shoulder work, just strict OHP and strict behind neck standing OHP. Shoulders are one of my strong points, so clearly it's working.
It also teaches explosiveness, which is such an important "concept" to train...
