All day!  85lb seated shoulder presses are an impressive weight for a natural female or a newbie.  By the time you grow some hair on your chest you should be working with 100+ for 8-12.

Hope this helps.

Agreed.  Shoulder pressing 85's is nothing to get too excited about.

you are bragging about 85 for 20  :-\

That is really nothing to brag about.  I believe I could do 20.  I train a lot heavier though so i'm not sure.

You're right, you're not sure because since you train so heavy you're probalby not used to high-rep shoulder pressing.

20 reps is impressive for any gym goer, especially on this board.

I normally do 110s for about 6, although by then I've already done 3 sets of seated barbell presses to failure (triple drops). 85s are no big deal for someone your size dude

20 reps with 85lbs no probs. My best was 5 with 130lbs.

Now wait for Squadfather to chime in with his "I call bullshit on this one".  ::)
