How much do you shoulder press?

[slaveboy1980]

in all seriousness 225 for 8-10 is awesome and more weight than you see 99 percent of people in gyms strictly pressing.

agreed. 225 is real good. i do 235 for 6 and 275 for 6-8 on the smith machine.

If it weren't for the weight of my hands I could probably get my arms all the way to lockout.  DW, lookin' lean by the way.  How much weight have you lost?

why don't you lower it all the way down?

[D.L. 5]

Hmm. Probably a 2-2. Very controlled and slowish. I think the problem was too much weight, going too low, and behind the neck! I always looked in the mirror and I went 'til the bar was just about touching the rear delts. Just too heavy, too low, btn and did it for years. It was probably inevitable it would go. I want a wayback machine on this one. 

ah ok. yes 2-2 is a good speed, i think that it was probably over the years the wear and tear built up (especially since behind the neck). that is alot of weight i bet ur delts are huge. front presses pushed to the max poundage are a worry for the long term.

the most i ever did was with momentum 150 plus bar but it was not slow and controlled...i thank god i never injured myself doing those stupid ego presses...these days i think if i did it i would be much under 100 for sure but with good form. dont want to risk it.

Couldn't resist.


Flame on.

Who is that?  Not one good rep.  Why do people lift like this is beyond me. 

[spylike]

Good lift!

Thanks Chris.

why don't you lower it all the way down?

I've been led to believe that any lower would only recruit chest fibres and increase chances of injury.
