about 25-30 if I do it 'combine style' but my shoulders would explode

maybe 20 if I do every rep with perfect control and a pause.. might try it today.

55 reps touch and go.  Then I get into my Shelby Cobra and drive to my 8000 sq ft. house over looking the Ocean. Since most pretty girls are only a 7 in my eyes I have Ford models come over to hang.

Back in the day (early up to the late 90s) we'd go to failure with that weight coming down from 4 plates eachside and the old 2.5kg collars (185kg) downwards to 160kg, 140kg, and flush-out with 100kg (220lbs or so)....anywhere from as little as 35 upwards to 45 or so on the day, that weight was a afterthought way back when although our form with bad.
