In relation to b/w with full ROM?
-
10 x your body weight is pretty good.
-
i do standin press but rarely too much pressure on the lower back
-
at least bodyweight for a few reps, i press more seated.
-
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

Why are you getting pissy? I was trying to bury the hatchet and compliment you.

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?
-
I doubt anyone on getbig can do 10x the bodyweight in the press!
-
i can't.
-
if you can clean your own bodyweight to your shoulders and press it once, that is good.
-
meso is a good very good presser. can he?
can anyone?
-
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.
-
I don't think I even do 1 rep with my bodyweight SEATED, let along standing :o
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.

Yours aren't exactly tiny either, Squadpapa !

thanks but i go for the health look these days, all the years of heavy lifting has taken it's toll on my joints. ;D
-
I Press 20 pounds less than my bodyweight for a single.
I've never seen anyone get 10 strict reps with their bodyweight.
-
My friend can do it.
He is 154lbs but 6 foot tall. Can do it easily and strict.
-
Doing a handstand and press your bodyweight for reps while having a good friend putting a barbell with additionall weights on the bottom of your feet that you will balance at the same time. This would be good. Everything else is just OK.

That's about where I'm at as well. Maybe a little less. I just started doing them a few weeks ago. They blast the hell out of my delts seemingly way more than dumbbell press'.

meso is a good very good presser. can he?
can anyone?
yeah i can standing press my weight
..ive done snactch presses to my clavicles the press it overhead with 225. for reps returning the bar to the floor each rep
im not really a shoulder press guy as such to be honest
-
bunch of pussies around here, can't do their bodyweight for 10 reps, go on a fuckin diet. ???
-
i usually do 250lbs standing db presses for 20 as a warmup.
bench
-
i'd say anything over 225 is big... this isn't a seated military on teh smith. ;D
-
i have done standin press with 225...
standin puts a lotta pressure on the lower back
-
I've never seen anyone get 10 strict reps with their bodyweight.
neither did i. the best i did was to clean 225 from the floor into a sitting position and press it for a double. i am 220, btw.

In the old days some of us did Olympic lifting. I did that at UBC and got my big block letter for it. My best in the gym weighing about 220 pounds was 270 clean and press. Never tried any more. I could easily clean and press 225 cold for 6 reps. That was in 1975. I still hold the standing press record in my gym. The next best was 230 pounds.
