how many times can you military barbell press 135?

[Stark]

For deicide, it was probably during training.

I digg that

[dj181]

Wow! U dudes that are overhead pressing 135 for 20 reps or so are pretty strong MOFO's either that, or I'm just pathetically weak...

I'm not super strong but I have been training by the 5/3/1 principle for a longish time and Military Press are one of the 4 core excersises - so I think especially with MP you
get better the longer you do them - at least with me that is.

standing is easier

Maybe if you use your legs to cheat it up.  Standing with good form is much harder.

[The Showstoppa]

Hmmmmm, i do them seated to take stress off my lower back and to focus more on delts, but 135 isn't much weight at all......and I'm not a monstah.....(insert comments here).....I actually consider 135 a warm-up set.......

[dj181]

Then I'm assuming dat u dudes are weighing over 200, my PR was 3 reps and I weighed bout a buck 60 at the time.

[CalvinH]

As many as I want.

eh?

No it isn't - and I only use the legs to get it up over my head.

Sitting stricly with the back to the bench is of course harder - you don't need to be a Nazi rocket scientists to figure that out.

[Palpatine Q]

i can throw 135 into the air and catch it for reps

[Lundgren]

My girl friend was about 135 use to pick her up with my cock everyday 

[brent2741]

100?

[SS]

As many as I want.

[CalvinH]

So basically you can't do even one rep standing without using your legs to get the weight up, which is my whole point.  I guess Christian Thibaudeau doesn't know what he talking about either:

But I'm sure your shoulders dwarf his

Most people can do more weight seated than standing because the bench stabilizes you by giving you something to press your back/legs against, which directs more of your effort to pressing the weight up rather than balancing yourself.  If standing is easier then your form sucks imo.  Surely others can chime in on this?

yup....sitting is easier.....I wouldn't do standing militaries, too much strain on your lower back for no real reason

[Nails]
