Anything above bodyweight, if there is no layback.
225 is strong for a natural
315 is strong juiced
I once saw an older guy repping 135 like it was nothing, I guess he did 15-20 reps and quite easily, just that was really impressive to me.I can rep that shit out seated, and imo seated is harder since you can't get a boost with your legs

Jesse Merude 365 overhead no belt. Countless reps.. the video is out there somewhere.
your mom was strong in her tone to let me come over tonight haha.
are you high mars?
haha to be very honest, i was just about getting started with some friends.
Im thinking about the same thing, havent done it in a while now, just worried because I might get a job soon and if they are like " a drug test would be ok?"
I would be fucked ;D
they don't really drug test do they?most jobs here do them every now and then
You can do it, put your back into it.......

Just an interesting look at back bend vs. modern strict. Pics from the Deszo Ban and J.V. Askem sites.
The back bend was actually the modern technique. At first presses were more strict.
Here is a nice, strict gym press.

225 is strong.
315 at a bodyweight of 440
For you or me, maybe, but not for the real lifters around here. ;)you think you don't know.
I think I was repping 185 the last time I did these.
If you are referring to me you are way off. I was 300. Give me 5 weeks and I could do 315 again if I can get in the gym more than 3 days a week.i'm just kidding with you big fellow, pics are actually anthony ditillo rip. i could do 255 at 175 lb bwt back in the day, not really a big deal i could only c and j it to terrible at the clean.

Sorry I immediately figure any huge weight references is towards me. And that lift for you is really good. Anytime you do more than you weigh it is good.no i just like to kid anyone who lifts and tries to improve themselves is all right by me.
you think you don't know.
::)no need to get all butt hurt
Anyone who can press 200 in standing military is very STRONG. Especially if he pick up the bar from the floor.
no need to get all butt hurtThat's OK but show me how many non-natural competitor can do reps with 225 in standing military...
225 max on the military isn't "strong" for someone on juice.
look at goudy he does 225 natural. you would have to expect alot more for someone with 10x more test in their body..
Im thinking about the same thing, havent done it in a while now, just worried because I might get a job soon and if they are like " a drug test would be ok?"really? wow, i think they only test here for jobs in the military, i have some friends who live inside an abandoned school for a while till they can get a house, they have a couple of huge weed plants inside one of the rooms there so each time they smoke their own stuff after they dried it. pretty cool.
I would be fucked ;D
I'd like to know how many have the power to clean 225lbs to be in the position to military press it?
I'd like to know how many have the power to clean 225lbs to be in the position to military press it?
PCing that should be a cinch, even for guys who weigh sub-200. A lot of that movement is about coordination and technique, not just raw power, though raw power is definitely needed. when I weighed in the 280s I pretty routinely did triples with 315 and up.
I'd like to know how many have the power to clean 225lbs to be in the position to military press it?Not many..........225 juiced or not is a very respecable weight.
I'd like to know how many have the power to clean 225lbs to be in the position to military press it?do those as well every rep the bar is returned to the floor... taxing excersise...
Wow just wow!nice find, i remember a story where these students kidnapped serge and held him for ransom they had to bring him back because they couldn't afford to feed him . true story.
275 i woudl consider strong.
For me personally it depends on the size of the guy what I would consider strong. I know guys who weigh under 180 who can squat over 700 and bench over 400.
Weighs under 180 and squats over 700?:D
Who are these "guys"?
Hidalberto Aranda squatting 644 lbs for a double @170 is probably the most impressive squat feat ever.
But you got friends his weight who squats 700+? ::)
Names.
I am in a quandry in my gym atmfor a guy yoru size you shoudl be able to press 110's for working sets.
The gym has 80-85lb db's then they jump up to these huge thick handled 105-110 dbs. Cleaning them is a nightmare.
Nothing inbetween. I am thinking If i start off on DB's doing multiple sets of 3-5 to build up my strength on them so I can work up to sets of 8ish and do my standinng shoulder pressing later in the workout as I seem to be neglecting DB work and only focusing on BB work.
Thoughts?
I am in a quandry in my gym atmare there no people in your gym to help you put them in your hands ???

Some people thought I was pretty strong and I guess I was compared to most people but I know people who are stronger than me. (not counting any competitive lifters then there would be many) But I am talking just your run of the mill lifter in the gym. I have done singles with 405 on the seated military. I have tried 2 and barely got it with a finger help and on the 3rd rep had to have the guy almost high pull it. But 315 I could do easily 8 reps and probably 12. And when I do my reps (as anyone who has seen me lift will confirm 100%) I go all the down and most times rest it on my shoulders and then go all the way up. I do not count half reps or 1/4 reps. In fact I think that is embarrassing when I see people do those. Same with my bench. I rest it on my chest for at least a couple seconds and if I am feeling strong even longer. I stretch at the bottom. The other day I was actually benching 315 while I had my cell phone on my chest on speakerphone talking to my daughter. Considering how big I was and still am I am very limber and flexible. I am far from how strong I was but I am coming back slowly and at least forward. My weight loss has been alot slower than I wanted but it is still going forward. i am far from posing for you guys but I am getting closer strngth wise to video tape me doing some bench and military. Once I can do the 405 easy again I will video it. Same with doing the reps with 315. As long as you guys don't rag on me to much for my tummy.I cant wait! :o good luck! ;)
By the way these lifts were also done 10 years after I competed and was off the juice. In fact I was doing 315 military just 3 years ago.

225....child's playWord! seated I can burn out with 225 for 18 reps after 3 heavy working sets.

Word! seated I can burn out with 225 for 18 reps after 3 heavy working sets.
That's awesome how strong all you guys are. I was just reading Wendler's 5/3/1 book where he talks about how his goal was to do a military press with 300lbs. A goal he accomplished in summer 2008. If you guys don't know who Wendler is, he is a powerlifter with the following lifts:700-pound deadlift, 675-pound bench press, 1000-pound squat. He should have just come on here and learned from all of you guys how easy a 300 (or 400, or 500, or 600) lb. military press really is.
The truth is, in most gyms it will be damn rare to find a guy that can do a military press with 225 lbs. Hell, its damn rare to find someone that does them at all. SS and I trained at a hardcore gym with REAL powerlifters, many of whom had legitimate 500 lb benchs, several 600-700 lb squatters, and one guy that just deadlifted 815 lbs in competition, and I only ever saw 2 of them do over 225 on a strict military press. Most of you are just full of shit.
Evan C repped 3 plates like it was nothing decent form also =)http://mdtv.musculardevelopment.com/content/view/2445/225/
I normally do 675 lb for 22 reps, but thanks to a severe shoulder injury, am reduced to doing 675 for 19 :(hi Matt Duvall
http://mdtv.musculardevelopment.com/content/view/2445/225/
ok. fewer reps than i remember but very strict/more of a pushpress. using his legs some.
Woah, take it easy champ.....
Is there something in my post you disagree with, or just threw that out there to bump your post count?
I find it amazing that anyone would come on here and say doing a military press with 225 is very rare. I swear to god where do you guys train? I leave most of my training partners in the dust in this exercise but at least everyone of them were able to do at least some reps with 225. Now 315 I have to admit is something other than myself and several others in Hawaii and the Barbarian Brothers I have not seen at any other gym and I have easily trained at more than 200 gyms. But 225 is not a big deal unless you are just weak, small, skinny or train at a place like Curves or the local Y or Country Club. Honestly you kids need to train at a real gym. Johnnynobody and Swede and skinny weak twinks like them I believe they have never seen anyone lift these kinds of weights. But some of you guys have to train at a real gym I hope, I am 50 years old and can go do reps with 225 with no warm up whatsoever. So if this fat old man can do it so can you

I'd estimate that less than 1% of gym goers can military press 225lbs for 8reps(bar comes down to chin) while standing...........waaaa aaay less than 1%
Average gym goer doesn't have the coordination to squat that for a single. ;Dyup, yup most do have a pussy ass sloppy form.
I do 275 with strict form for 8...Well, well "AaronSingman", we finally meet. Been hearing your name a lot. Why does everybody seem to despise you?
Seriously please just post a video. You ahve been threatening to do so for 3 years. Please just take one of a bench press and a standing press.

Now, all of sudden, you need time?
Keith, you keep dodging the question about your claim about your friends who weigh less than 180 and squats 700 lbs. Who are they?
WTF? Now, all of sudden, you need time?
Please show me where the question. i don't dodge anything (almost). Several in Hawaii like Jesse Jackson and Quincy Guzman. All on record doing that in competition. A 140 lb guy benching 440 I think. A girl weighing 160 benching 400+ Do you need more. Try looking on the record books and seeing the people from Hawaii. I hope I answered your question so you can now go to bed.No thanks, I don't care to gain 200lbs and use steroids to wreck my body. I'd much rather just look the way I do. To lift that weight has never been my goal. You say that you need no warm-up to walk in teh gym and press 225 reps...let's see it. I will challenge you to a bodybuilding contest. What say you?
Yea why. Lets do this. You and me will have a race to see who can bench 405 and military 315 first. Ok. I am sure with all your critique you must be right there. So lets do that. That will get time on the ball faster. See right now I am going nice and slow cause see I don't need to prove anything to you or anyone cause I have already what you dream about in lifting. Right now I am trying to get bck to that place in lifting even being 4 or 5 years older than the last time I did that kind of weight. So instead of pushing me, lets push each other. Lets havea race to those lifts and as soon as you can do it post the video and then I will. Okay
The real reason why I don't quite yet is because first I could maybe do 405 for one. That is embarassing so that won't happen yet. 225 I could do for 8 I am sure but I don't feel like getting on camera quite yet. And I might have said this 3 years ago but I was still under the weather and in fact spent two weeks in the hospital for my leg. This year actually has been good . I have only had one episode with my leg but a couple serious ones with my ankle. So training has been steady but not really serious yet. Give me a little time I am an old man now. But I will do it cause I want to show the young whipper snappers that an old man can still be strong and drug free now for 23 years. And when I was doing it was only for about 6 months. So no big deal. I was just as strong 10 years after I quit. But, I would like to get my shoulders back to this shape
Yeah, and you're the same guy that said this:HAHAHAHAHA! Careful Nick or he'll call you "kid" and brag about lfitng his 430lb carcass out of his double wide lazy boy and into his bad ass 2004 rascal.........He's the only guy in history that uses a spider bite for packing on over 300lbs ::)......Oh and he sat next to Jonsey from the police academy back in 1983 ;D

If you can do "405 easy" in the military press I'll kiss your ass. You talk on the cell phone while benching 315? And who are the guys under 180 that squat 700? When I said most of the people here were full of shit, you were at the top of the list.

I'm no fashion plate but what are you wearing? I would love to see you on video cleaning 225lbs and pressing it from touching your body to full extension. You do look very strong.

So onlyme, you call me a weak twink lol?:D
I do my BW for reps and you do your BW for reps?
Lets see whos the strongest?
you keep bragging about 315..
315 aint SHIT when you're 300 pounds yourself.
So onlyme, you call me a weak twink lol? After Ive been nice to you.HAHAHAHA! 300 lbs!!! yeah, maybe his leftover food stains weigh 300 lbs, but there's no way that stinky has been nobody, weighs under 450......... 8)
Well I do my BW for reps and you do your BW for reps?
Lets see whos the strongest? ....oh thats right, you don't even have the mental strenght to some cardio you obese piece of shit.
And I think you owe a few guys some money also right? Maby you get to that issue after you loose your weight? lol! Selfish fat bastard.
you keep bragging about 315..
315 aint SHIT when you're 300 pounds yourself.
Now, post a few 20 yr old photos, to keep yourself living in that little dream insted of facing your reality which you have infront of you right now.
315 aint SHIT when you're 300 pounds yourself.this is really a dumb statement
this is really a dumb statement
So Ronnie Coleman doing military with 315 is not impressive?
Oh god not another mouthy nobody trying to fit in somewhere he can't. Save it you don't see me flooding threads you relate to like cock-sucking and butt fucking guys. So don't try and to act like something you aren'tAre you eating while you're on the phone repping 315?
That is my barbarian look
Good cop out. Typical response from someone like you. And why would I challenge you in a bb contest. I never challenged you and not once have I ever said I was a BB, ever thought of competing or anything close. I chose a sport that I became a National and World Champion in. Please list exactly what BB contests you have won. You are on here trying to make you look better by putting me down and I am willing to shut your mouth and prove you wrong. See you started it. The problem guys like you have is you have no ammo to fight with. Sure you can call me fat but honestly is that ll you got. Anything I say I can either prove with photos or you can simply call the Gold's Gym in Honolulu or Kona or ask many other very reputable people who know how strong I was and am. I crack up when people like you try so hard to make yourself look better than possible by trying to belittle someone else. it is hilarious. Please come at me with something better than you have so far. Cause it is really weak.
you're just a fat slob that lives in the past that makes nothing but excuse ::)
Are you eating while you're on the phone repping 315?
Is that how you got all these food stains on your shirt? or are you like all fat lazy people and just don't care about your appearance?.... Like your overgrown finger nails and reported body order at the Arnold, for instance?
How you can rip on Swed, dov, and leafybug......when they're all in shape, young and have their whole life ahead of them with their families and you're just a fat slob that lives in the past that makes nothing but excuse ::)

nope. Its still only bw.
Its strong ofc, But I would be more impressed with a 150 pound guy doing 200 for example etc.
You ignorance shines with every post. You are about as impressive in anything as Johnnynobody is. You gotta love kids like you who will never ever be impressive no matter how much you talk on the internet. The only things you two may have going for you is parts in movies where they need skinny, ugly gay looking guys to play a dead body. you guys are my daily dose of "funny". I love watching under-achievers mock others to make themselves look better. Hurry up with some more cause I gotta go pretty soon and I need more funny. hahahaha

can you imagine how long he thought about standing up like that?Couple people that were there told me that he literally smelled like ass.
probably took him 2 hours to actually summon the strenght to do it
I remember all the threads what 3 years ago when those pics were posted? Squad had a field day with them later on, lolShit!..... well then he must of lost an easy 200lbs by now :-X
And Onlyme was going to lose weight and get back into shape back then :-\
Shit!..... well then he must of lost an easy 200lbs by now :-X
100 pounds, and that means in reality about 75-80 in 3+ years hahahaha.That's just it..........instead of bettering himself he rather cut down others and use his past, cause that's all he has.
And he has the nerve to rag on other people hahahahaha.
That's just it..........instead of bettering himself he rather cut down others and use his past, cause that's all he has.
Poor kid really needs to roll away from the buffet table.
Kid you'll never make it. I remember back in 1978 when I banged Nell Carter at the battle of the network stars. I accomplished more in my life than all you snot nosed punks combined. I appeared on an episode of McGyver where I fell on him and he had to fashion a blow torch with a bic lighter, a used tampon and a vanilla wafer to burn me to get me off him. You kids will never amount to shit sitting in your mamas basement.BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
I figured since keith isn't here, I'd help him out. 8)His caregiver told me that he will be stuck on the toilet for a bit cause the board he uses to slide from his rascal to the pot snapped in half and he just has to sit there and wait till someone brings him a new obese transfer board.
No, you started it. You say no warm up, walk in gym and rep out 225. I, along with others, ask to see it. Then, you say that you need time. I never claimed to be able to rep out 225, then you challenge me to bench/milpress competition. WTF? That's why I challenged you to a BB contest. See how stupid both are? Again, faaar less than 1% of gym members around world can stand mil press 225 for one solid rep.

Bottom line....Can you(fatman) walk into any gym in one hour from now and rep out 225 on stand mil press? Just for clarification, I cannot. I'm guessing that you can't either.

I never claimed to be able to rep out 225, then you challenge me to bench/milpress competition. WTF? That's why I challenged you to a BB contest. See how stupid both are? Again, faaar less than 1% of gym members around world can stand mil press 225 for one solid rep.

I'll take him up on it too. I can only do 1, and I can't clean it, I have to take if off a rack. On the other hand, I weigh 206 right now, and I can walk all the way from my car to the rack to do it, so that should count for something.

Okay I have easily owned the other morons. Here you own yourself you dipshit. Where did I say I could do 225 standing. Please post for me to remind me. See again you and the other idiots trying to make themselves look better by putting in your own little spin on words. Face it you and Swede and SS and Stoppa or whatever are here for fun. It is obvious you guys don't lift or do anything much else. When and if you get to be 50 you can look back and talk about your thousands of posts on Getbig. You are faceless and gutless kid who can type. You and the others impress me and everyone else on here as much a dog shitting in the park. Come back with your lame Keith is so fat shit. It is really old. At least come up with something new. And from the sound of it you guys need to spend more time on the Getweak and Skawny Board. What is really funny how you guys probably don't even lift. What is the website you guys hang out on when you aren't here. you guys are in your 20's and 30' maybe and you haven't done shit. That is not only pathetic but sad. How lucky are you guys that the internet was invented. What the fuck would you be doing. But man you are lucky you have the internet. Your lives would be even more sad and pathetic. hahahahaaha now come back with the boring fat jokes. But at least new ones

That's just it..........instead of bettering himself he rather cut down others and use his past, cause that's all he has.
Poor kid really needs to roll away from the buffet table.
Hey I got a shout out! Could you call me "kid" next time keef?
Yea sure you would. Instead just post a video. Come on bigmouth. At 206 you must be HUGE. What is the girl's name you train with if you even train. Again a newbie with a big mouth. Where do you guys come from
Where did I say I could do 225 standing. Please post for me to remind me. See again you and the other idiots trying to make themselves look better by putting in your own little spin on words.
I find it amazing that anyone would come on here and say doing a military press with 225 is very rare. I swear to god where do you guys train? I leave most of my training partners in the dust in this exercise but at least everyone of them were able to do at least some reps with 225. Now 315 I have to admit is something other than myself and several others in Hawaii and the Barbarian Brothers I have not seen at any other gym and I have easily trained at more than 200 gyms. But 225 is not a big deal unless you are just weak, small, skinny or train at a place like Curves or the local Y or Country Club. Honestly you kids need to train at a real gym. Johnnynobody and Swede and skinny weak twinks like them I believe they have never seen anyone lift these kinds of weights. But some of you guys have to train at a real gym I hope, I am 50 years old and can go do reps with 225 with no warm up whatsoever. So if this fat old man can do it so can you
I never said I was huge. I said I can military press 225 once at 206lbs. BTW, I'm 45 and can still see my abs. I don't use being 45 as an excuse to gain 200 lbs of lard. You said you can do "405 easy". And you challenge me to post a video cuz you can't believe I can press 225 once, but everyone should believe you could do 405? I don't have a video camera, but I can borrow one. You pick the date, and I'll post a video of me doing 225 in perfect form 1 time. I'll have someone stand next to me holding that days newspaper to verify that I am doing it now. You do the same with 405.
noworries pwned.........BNM fitting right in with the other Y boarders. 8)
Here lardass. 50 is a little young for Alzheimer's isn't it?

Where does it say standing Again you are stupid
i think its very possible that onlyme could rep out 225. he used to be a world class powerlifter/strong man. among bodybuilders 225 is a respected weight, but in powerlifting circles its peanuts.How much do you do standing military?
How much do you do standing military?i dont do it standing so i cant be sure, but i can do 225 seated for 10

There is a world of difference between seated and standing. SS will tell you, he can do at least 20 seated and, with perfect form, 2 or 3 standing. If you can do 10 seated, but you don't do standing, you won't be able to do 1. Peanuts?X2

Peanuts?ss as in superstar billygram? lol no way he can do 20 reps with 225... dude is cool and all, but he aint strong like that...
mariusz gets 200kilos
ss as in superstar billygram? lol no way he can do 20 reps with 225... dude is cool and all, but he aint strong like that...
and maybe i couldnt rep it, but for world class powerlifters, 225 is a walk in the park.

No genius, SS that posts on here and moderates the Y forum. Maybe if you keep saying its easy, it will become so.yes, that is superstarbillygram. i guess he used that name before you came to getbig. no he doesnt lift that much, at least not the last pics i saw of him.
What ROM Tbombz with 225? Clavicle to lockout on seated presses?yeah. i havent done them in a few months though, i only use dumbells and a smith machine, because the military press at the gym ive been going to is set too far back so i cant get it off the rack when its loaded up heavy. with the smith ill do Behind the neck press with 225 for sets of 12, and ill do 110 dumbell press for sets of 10.
yes, that is superstarbillygram. i guess he used that name before you came to getbig. no he doesnt lift that much, at least not the last pics i saw of him.
i dont mean to say its easy for just anybody, just that it would be easy for a world class powerflifter
heres some random off of utube=

Yeah superstarbillygram of the forums. Not superstar billy graham the wrestler. And yeah, the SS that posts here can do that. I've seen him. We trained together for about 5 years. Superstar Billy Graham also trained at the same gym with us. The gym was Get Serious in Phoenix.las picture i saw of him he was in a sleeveless eating a sandwich in a front room of a house and theeir was a window open facing the street... he was a bigger than average guy, looked like a biker, but it didnt look muscular or powerful.
If you do that seated for 10 im sure you could do 225lbs x 1 standing. Espec with 110lbers x 10 DB presses

Seated and standing have little correlation in pressing. Its much easier to press when you can brace against something and push than when your core has to support you. Try squatting as much as you can leg press.
Im basing it on experience. I dont know anyone who can press 110lbers easily and NOT at least have a good stab at 225
I can throw 225 about and I think I would struggle for 110's x 10 seated never mind 110'sx10 standing
Less ROM with DB's - a few less inches on a shoulder press - particularly the lower portion of teh lift is a BIG difference
My lord, you man beasts with your big Clean and Presses.
Check out the records for that lift at the link below for years 1972 and earlier:
http://www.lifttilyadie.com/
Note that a steriod era record class lift for the big men was only 120 to 140% of bodyweight. The smaller classes were around 150-160% of bodyweight. That's with Steriods, day in, day out training, etc.....
Also look at the pre-steriod era record lifts.
Then why did he just post asking where did he ever say he could do it standing. As I said earlier, SS and I trained in a hardcore powerlifting gym. Several of the guys there have records, some of them world records. Pat Holloway is one with an 815 deadlift. I saw two of them do more than 225 in a strict military press. So I guess we disagree that 225 is peanuts.
That was my point. Dumbells are much harder. The guy said he can do 225 for 10 seated. He also said he can do 110s for 10. There is no way that is true.i said i could do 110's for 10 seated. not standing.
Yeah superstarbillygram of the forums. Not superstar billy graham the wrestler. And yeah, the SS that posts here can do that. I've seen him. We trained together for about 5 years. Superstar Billy Graham also trained at the same gym with us. The gym was Get Serious in Phoenix.
You mean other than the title of the thread? As in "Whats strong for a standing military press?" Where do you think the term MILITARY press comes from? Its called that because the original lift in the Olympics was done standing perfectly straight with feet together like the MILITARY position of attention. One of us is stupid all right. Its okay though, you're stupid, but at least you're fat.
By the way post a pic of yourself. And show one at least you in a gym.
Tbombz are you calling out SS? You said he didn't look "muscular or powerful" right?Careful tdongz dad rides with HA!! :o :o
Careful tdongz dad rides with HA!! :o :o
Wow you are one dumb guy. Are you related to Goodrum. Like I said where does it say I said standing. Show it to me twink. Come on moron I have proved you wrong again cause I not once said standing in fact I think somewhere I said I can't do it standing. I hope I didn't hurt your feelings. Now wipe off your tears and be a fucking man. Own up to your ignorance and be gone. you are another person who tries to fit in where he doesn't belong. Where do you pathetic wannabes come from.
By the way post a pic of yourself. And show one at least you in a gym.
I'm gonna try this one more time because apparently your IQ hasn't kept pace with your waist measurement. You said military press. Military press is an exercise you do standing. That is what military press means, a standing press. Not to mention, this entire thread is about "Whats strong for a standing military press?" Is that slow and clear enough for you?
As far as SS and I training at the same gym as Superstar Billy Graham, they did a news story on him at our gym, "Get Serious" in Phoenix, and SS and I are in it.
Now you can go back to the name-calling that you seem to rely on when simple logic leaves your dick in the dirt.
Damn it,now I gotta see how much I lift when I do shoulders next week >:(
try your bodyweightDid Clavin put some weight on?
110 lbs :)
HAHAHAHA Careful BNM or Tbongz will get the Hells angels to come kick our asses.
If he only knew ;)
And yes I am that strong.care to come to Phoenix and find out for yourself?
See BNM I told you most of these guys are tools except for a Handful that post on the Y
Funny how SL-Dubbs use to lift with me and was the PL mod here for a few years and said the same thing you are but hey I guess we're just all stupid kids ::)
And why do people keep asking me to post a picture? I lift to get strong, not pretty. Did you get the new tat?
And why do people keep asking me to post a picture? I lift to get strong, not pretty. Did you get the new tat?Dude there's a lot of pole smokers here.Take Tbong for example...... he's admitted to being Bi and is only 17 yrs old, has been to rehab and stole over 10 g's from his parents......... Now he's juicing and thinks he will be a pro BB ::)..Hate to steal Onlyfats quote but poor kid!.
because 90 percent of the posters on here are gimmicksI already made it clear this is my bro and not a gimmick.

At least noworries aka onlyfat was a big strong guy when he was younger and I think he was an arm wrestling champion, but I cant stand when people live in the past and have the nerve to rip on on others when all they do is make lame excuses about being fat and lazy.`
The HA reference I made about Tbong is because a while back he threaten someone I think me that his dad knew the HA's and was gonna have them come beat me up.hahahaha! I was like sure go head kid send them on over ;)
I'm sure if any Olympic lifter reads this stuff he'll get his morning laugh. 225 is pretty every day normal for them, even in the lighter classes. If BB'ers would devote more time to overhead pressing, than 225 would be normal for them. Off a PR or cleaning, either way. If Coleman came out and confessed that all his upper body mass was built from overhead pressing than 90% of BB'ers would drop the bench and do only pressing. And a lot of BB'ers would be pressing 300+ in every workout.
Best pound per pound presser (my view only) were Paul Anderson, Ken Patera, Marvin Eder, Hepburn and Bill March.Can include a few of the Russian lifters in their Olympic golden days. The original military press was with heels together, back and shoulders ramrod straight starting with no body movement except for the arms & shoulders themselves. This was considered done in a military manner, hence the name military press.
Personal view: I have more respect for a guy who overhead presses 300+ than one who benches 400+.
If he sends anyone from the Phoenix or Cave Creek chapters, let me know. I haven't hung with them for awhile, we'll have beers:);D
I already made it clear this is my bro and not a gimmick.
And No BNM I'm going back tonight cause My guy was sick.I'll def send you pics of it.......Your gonna dig it!
like wj harley ;)LOL! Naw he's a good friend of mine, been through a lot of crazy shit together.
LOL! Naw he's a good friend of mine, been through a lot of crazy shit together.
Ive been telling him for a long time now to check GB out.
He's a super smart guy and is a real life bad ass with a heart of gold......My kids love him, plus he trains them for free and takes them to hooters after wards 8)

I'm sad, not having heard from my Samoan friend today. Perchance he's wearing out the ass of some beautiful Hollywood starlet between scenes in his new action picture. Godspeed my rotund friend, Godspeed!
Maybe he's making his way back to his computer after his noon lunch break?
I'll give it another hour then. I thought he hadhad it catered buffet style.someone deliver....
Maybe he's making his way back to his computer after his noon lunch break?Probably went back for another loading at the buffet, not wanna risk getting carb depleted.

i said i could do 110's for 10 seated. not standing.Calling bigtime bullshit on either of these two claims!!

Calling bigtime bullshit on either of these two claims!!
Done a set of 5 with 233lbs today standing - slight jerk with legs though. This was after 2 sets of 222x5That was a good lift. Like you said, a little leg push, but still damn good.
That was a good lift. Like you said, a little leg push, but still damn good.press behind the neck is a similar exercise and in my opinion harder, i could do a press with 255 at around 175 lbs but only 225 pbn. when i first started lifting i used to do kneeling presses with 225 but without a samoan dick in my mouth never utilized that weider principle.....

hahahhahaha The best part of this thread!!! ;D

hahahhahaha The best part of this thread!!! ;D
hahahhahaha The best part of this thread!!! ;DThat and when Tbong said i didn't look big and strong and then he claimed he sould rep the 110's on shoulder presses ;D.........LMFAO!
I hit 108.5kg (238.7lbs) today. 5 reps as my heaviest setDamn pretty good right there.
The military press was dropped from the olympics because it was so difficult to judge. Lean back and you're doing a standing incline press. The military press is such a great exercise especially when done from the floor. How many 500lbs deadlifteres can't clean 225lbs. to do a press?
That and when Tbong said i didn't look big and strong and then he claimed he sould rep the 110's on shoulder presses ;D.........LMFAO!damn, the rent in your head is so fuckin cheap
damn, the rent in your head is so fuckin cheap
it's only gay if you want it to be, not that there's anything wrong with that. i lost some respect for jcg the first time i viewed this clip.however if you read the book muscletown usa you'll find that all wasn't what it appeared to be among the "manly men of muscletown".
whats with the girly shoes Grimek is wearing?
