In relation to b/w with full ROM?

10 x your body weight is pretty good.

10 with body weight is Great esp 4 sets.

10 with bodyweight?? That would be amazing imo. Unless you're talking about a push press with some leg drive

LOL well ill make 10x b/w my goal for the summer then.

Have started them. Awesome. Feel really powerful off them. Back feels good with them too. Also i use no leg drive.

Used to like seated dbells though prefer these now.

Can anyone do 10x b/w

I'm 215 and use 175 for sets of 6-8 and that's really difficult for me..I'm an above average lifter in comparison to most..I also use a very strict form..no drive out of the legs at all

If you're not doing 465 for 10 then you don't belong on GB.

Agreed..I say 90% of GB's can't press their body wt for sets of 10...even with a leg drive

haha..no hatchet to be buried my friend

..your compliments seem a little back-handed, but no worries! Seriously, do you use a standing press in your routine?

Julio Ceasar · « **Reply #14 on:** February 09, 2008, 02:35:50 PM »

I doubt anyone on getbig can do 10x the bodyweight in the press!

Mars · « **Reply #15 on:** February 09, 2008, 02:36:57 PM »

i can't.

JOHN MATRIX · « **Reply #16 on:** February 09, 2008, 03:08:16 PM »

if you can clean your own bodyweight to your shoulders and press it once, that is good.

Ursus · « **Reply #17 on:** February 09, 2008, 03:24:39 PM »

meso is a good very good presser. can he?

can anyone?

The Squadfather · « **Reply #18 on:** February 09, 2008, 03:31:38 PM »

i might be able to get one or two seated with my current bwt. of 240, did 3 sets with 225 yesterday, 6 reps on the first set and 5 on the last two.

Stavios · « **Reply #19 on:** February 09, 2008, 07:13:21 PM »

I don't think I even do 1 rep with my bodyweight SEATED, let along standing

standing presses are hard on the back tho

Bullshit

I probably couldn't shoulder press my BW. Maybe 1 rep at the most, but thats it.
