How much do you shoulder press?
« on: August 16, 2007, 11:04:37 AM »
right now im at 176 pounds on them for 8 reps,nothing fancy, but im going to be at 225 for 6 reps in 6 months. all natural strength. i never tried really my max rep, i think thats ego and useless, i did try 3/4 reps sometimes, but the weight that you can complete 7 reps with s the measurement of strength.

Yes, standing is much harder.  I think I did 185 for five followed by another set which consisted of 12 reps mostly all assisted.  Standing is much better for building strength.

for me standing is not harder, it makes it easier, you can cheat and swing, sitting its all shoulders so it makes it harder. standing can also cause lower-back injury if you re not careful my friend.

"multile" ???

Anyway, how does your lame response invalidate the point that this thread should be on the training board, or perhaps dumped in the Z, where it really belongs? ::)

Used to be able to get up to 205 seated, then *bang* I blew a rotator. That was a long time ago, and the last time I tried with 40lb dumbells it still hurt. Ah well, never liked training shoulders, anyway.  :'(

Calling you out. I saw it and no way it was 5.65. More like 5.23466666666.
