What the hell. Im not sure im buying this one. That shoulders just get hella swole. And damn sure not quads. Because there are many ironage guys with no legs to speak of

I remember reading somewhere that prolonged use of AAS actually stimulates better receptor response (this probably isnt the right terminology but you get the idea) in the lower body than just short term use - hence why the modern bbs (who are supposedly always 'on') have much larger legs in general than the bbs of the 70s (who allegedly used aas more sparingly). This same article also commented on the higher density of receptors in the upper body, hence why aas users are often distinguished by big delts/traps/chest.

Cant remember where i got this from so cant really comment on its reliability...

Nice one mate - 20 reps with 85 is tough to do.

Bear · « **Reply #180 on:** September 03, 2007, 02:55:04 PM »

Yes, just cos someone can do a few on 110 doesn't mean for a second they can do 20 on 85! Some of these guys are so funny, like "stop showing off, 85 is nothing compared to 120 which is what I do", lol, hus showing off themselves, haha. Anyway, well done, I challenge all the 110 pressers to try 85 for 20! In fact I bet Squadfeatures et al would not attempt it for fear of failure and the high rep burn.

cheer for kind words and support folks

85's for 20 is a damn good lift but i have to say from watching that those db's look awfully small to be 85's, they look more like 55's or 60's to be in total honesty.

willie mosconi · « **Reply #185 on:** September 03, 2007, 05:35:44 PM »

i don't care what anybody says, 85s for reps on shoulder presses is a solid accomplishment

no, i never videod it. I know this look ssuspect though look how eay the original video looked.

Today i made up 93.5lb dumbells (6x15lb plates on a 1.5kg (3.3lb) spinlock collar) easily repped it for a couple sets of ten them stopped. Was not near failure. Id guess myabe 16 fresh would have been as i done the 20reps 85s yesterday.

Ill definately take a few ids tomorro.

One for SF to show how small teh 85's look despite being 85 and another of the 93.5lb bells.

Thanks for kind owrds againi definately could do 100lbs for at least 10 reps. nothing to boast about but with my ROM its not bad.

I couldn't tell ya i warm up with the 110's

I used to warm up with 110's but then realized I get better initial blood circulation through my delts if I go with 125's for an easy 18 - 22 reps. then i start getting serious

You should give it a shot as I'm sure the 110's are boring you by now.

Nails · « **Reply #192 on:** September 04, 2007, 06:42:03 PM »

i can do endless reps with my 90lb lou approved dumbells.

atrain · « **Reply #193 on:** September 04, 2007, 07:17:54 PM »

Our gym's dumbells only go up to 120's. The only problem I have with pressing them is the size of the dumbell. They are ivanko vulcanized (rubber coated) which makes them almost too long to use.

also never bothered taking a vid today. too many in gym lol

Ursus · « **Reply #196 on:** September 17, 2007, 10:05:53 AM »

well took a vid today of me pressing 93.3lbs x 10 easy after benching and weighted chins was comfortable.

only thing is i had to use 15lb plates so the ROM is maybe 3/4" or 1" less than with 10lb plates

its currently uploading on utube so ill post a link v soon

When you do DB shoulder presses, do you go all the way down with a full ROM?

Ursus · « **Reply #198 on:** September 17, 2007, 10:09:23 AM »

yes, always here is a video

i reckon i could do over 100lb dbells for a few reps fresh

Great lifts. When I did direct shoulder work, I always did standing militaries with full ROM. I've had to stop doing that recently though because of a nagging pain in the right shoulder. I'm pretty sure it's not a rotator problem, just some inflammation or irritation in the socket.
