I was talking about behind the neck. I don't do dumbbell presses in the front, just dumbbell.

when i do dumbbell presses, I let the medial end of each barbell touch my front delt. Is that too far down. Some say you bring them down to where they are on the level same as your head.

i've pressed 315 seated with nothing in me at a bodyweight of 235. i can press 225 all day long, its not even that heavy. if you've been training hard for 4 years you should be able to press over two plates easy.

LOL uh..no. I can't believe such a thing is possible. EVERYONE here should post a video as proof (sarcasm is lost online )

Na for real man. Military press weight increased directly proportionate to my bench. Unless you hit a monster plateu it is not only possible but expected to get to 225.

I did 275 on seated for 3 reps this week. All the way down to my chest and up.

BTW, I'm talking about presses to the front, not BNP.

Impressive Kiwi!

Thanks mate. And I'm a lifetime natty. I haven't even tried prohormones. I'm thinking of switching over to the dark side as I've damn near reached the limit of natural growth.

I've popped my shoulder on heavy db presses twice! Suffice it say I only use free weight bb, smith and hammer strength for presses now.

how do you know when you cant grow any more (if youre a natural). Like do you see that in a year the gains are comming few and far inbetween. I only ask because i can be classified as a farely big guy and i havent really been training as crazy as i can as well i have never stuck to a supplement plan. and i still look like a body builder. And i tell myself that if i stuck to a supplement plan and a tough training regiment i have a long way before i top out

i am a natty, but you are just limiting yourself. kiwi is a monster and is a natty, he looks to be twice the size of alexx. you have bad genetics my friend i cant understand why people hype adonis etc.. any gym is filled with natty's that look way better.

I've been going on and off for about 10 years now. Am 30 and weigh about 220 @ 5'8" plus. But I look really, really dense and thick and am constantly told that I can easily pass for someone who weighs 240 - 245 lbs, although I'm a fat f*ck as well

ADONIS,

U SACK OF SHIT YOU CANT SHOULDER PRESS 225. FUCK YOUR FULL OF SHIT LOL. 160lbs lol

texasRUSH · « **Reply #45 on:** October 11, 2006, 10:12:15 AM »

yeah kiwi...you're looking about 240-250 at my guess in that pic! damn dude! that's pretty sick! what was your bf% at that weight? It's gonna take me a legit 240-250 to even come close to looking the way you do at that weight.

dan18 · « **Reply #46 on:** October 11, 2006, 10:12:46 AM »

standing 255 .. seated ive done 270 5 reps and im natty i always thought i could do more standing but i cant...

texasRUSH · « **Reply #47 on:** October 11, 2006, 10:13:54 AM »

seated your a helluva lot more stable than standing...but you have less leg drive so it's almost a trade off. $:-\$

Thanks mayne. If you asked Adonis, he'd probably say I'm sitting at about 60% BF or something, but I'm about 16% in that shot.
