holy crap. I've used 135. I was scared to go any higher. Don't want to tear up a rotator cuff.

I never see anyone doing this exercise for some reason.

Just over 150lbs (70kg) for 1 or 2 in the final set of a 5x5 pyramid.

Backed off it now though instead of banging up against failure every time. Don't know a fresh max.

I just overhead press, maybe a little layback, not some super strict form heels together military press.

Are we talking free weight or machine?

I slap a couple 45's on an olympic bar and do a few sets of standing from the floor. I'll go heavier on dumbells though.

if its a smith I'll slap a couple 45's on each side for seated.

but the golds I worked out at had a machine I loved... eventually I just started with that and moved onto dumbells... abandoning the barbell press. way better contraction on the machine.

You're an absolute beast.

Mind if I PM you for some lifting advice?

I think the highest I have done with free weight is 135, with the machine it was 190.

Nothing to do with jealousy, when someone is legitimately strong I always give props, this is obvious bullshit.

225 for 8 on standing MP would give you a bench of around 405.

ATHEIST · « **Reply #19 on:** November 01, 2008, 04:21:48 AM »

standing barbell would be 205
seated barbell free weights no back support is around 205 also
seated db no back support i think is around 75 lbs
seated db w/back support my best was the 110's for around 6, this is with the back support at 90 degrees

i do alot of power cleans to help. i consider this reasonably respectable but yet ive never flat benched more than 275.
incline bench i can do 305 for 5 tho. go figure.

Yea, except Cena has 50 pounds more muscle, doesn't have the brutal acne scars, and doesn't constantly have cocks prodding his sphincter like Candi.
