I would like to see anyone on this site post a video of them handling 225 lbs EASILY in the STANDING overhead press.  I would also like to see a video of anyone EASILY handling over 250 lbs in the seated press.

These are certainly not impossible lifts but they are very good and pretty rare.

Chris, put $500 into an escrow account or PayPal to Ron and give me one month of training and I will do 250 lbs. for 10 reps in the seated front press.  I will pause at the bottom of each rep a minimum of 1 second and go all the way up.  I will video tape it and all.  Right now I have no gym to go to but I could go pay for a month at the other gym in town.  All I need is one month to get that weight back.  Thats just $2 a pound.

And by the way that is 10000% natural and drug free

most people cheat on shoulders and do them on a decline seated, or partial range of motion.

I opt to use less weight then dicking around with heavy.
and your shoulders are huge, this is mute evidence to the fact that you should be using a full range of motion instead of fooling around with partials.

that would be like taking candy from a baby Keith, you're a freak of nature on pressing movements.

Even for naturals it is all relative to weight. A natural guy who weighs 250 should be able to push 185 for 6 fairly easily.
ok let me re phrase this, i think that a BODYWEIGHT shoulder press seatedfor a single is a good goal for anyone natural but 185 for 6 full reps is still impressive.

that's actually very respectable weight, more than you see 90 percent of guys in most gyms using.

I will do a seated bw next time I workout just to test myself. I grabbed 205 off the squat rack and kind of bounced it up for one, but that doesn't count.

i wouldn't doubt that you could do that you seem to have strong shoulders, i've been doing mine from upper chest level in the rack seated and my last workout was 225 for 5 very hard reps.

I thought I had real strong shoulders(for my size) then TA told me he can do 110 db's for 10 and he weighs less. I have some work to do.

texas rush is the only one keeping it real here. some people who talk about 225 as heavy on shoulder press aren't meant to be strong sorry. 225 should be a warmup if your a serious trainer with some years under your belt.

That is absolutely correct.  And I am very surprised with Chris Masons remark.

Lol, I should have qualified it as anyone but you.  Based upon your other lifts and your size I have ZERO problem believing you can do it.  Tell you what, from now on if I call b.s. on lifts you are exempt.   ;)

Now, for all of the others who make the claim I would LOVE to see it.  I am sure there are some that can but I am equally sure half of the jacks claiming such lifts here are full of shit.

You seem to have a bit of trouble with understanding how strong 95% of the population is.  Your claimed lifts (which I tend to believe) place you in the absolute upper echelon of strength athletes (your best lifts).  99.9% of the population cannot match those lifts and yet you seem to think them pedestrian.  Overhead pressing anything over 200 lbs is quite good and most assuredly well above average.  Yes, plenty of people can do it but plenty cannot come close.  As much as I hate to agree with sarcasm I think he is spot on with what he has said in this thread.  Oh, and before you get all excited again I know several of the strongest men in the world and have a pretty solid grasp on what is a good lift and what isn't.

BULLSHITTTTTTT!  I would need video proof before believing something like that from a scrawny chump like him.  Don't be so gullible.

how long does a lifetime natural have to achive those goals, because thats almost exactly me. i just turned 20, im 5' 9'' 195 body fat 12-13. i can bench 295, squat 375, dead 495, and cling and press 225. however if i lost some body fat and got down to a better body fat 8-9 % i think soem of my lifts wld go down. i cant wait to juice

I think a good rule of thumb for a natural to achieve is relative to bodyweight:

bench = 2 x bodyweight
squat = 3 x bodyweight
deadlift = 3 x bodyweight

It's all relative.  ;D

I can't shoulder press 225 dumbass. But I can bench 365 for 4. You must be a weak fat guy.

your bench is ridiculously strong for your weight dude.  you're benching more than twice your weight for 4..
