As in where you take the bar off the squat rack and press overhead. No bounce from the legs or aything,strict shoulder press.

225 is strong.

I do 2010392193 pounds for reps, that's just me though....

Per Se · « **Reply #3 on:** October 31, 2009, 06:30:09 AM »

i think 225

Depends on the range of motion. Some guys will do a half to 3 quarter rep with 225 when they couldn't do a real one with 185lbs. Others will lean back and do a standing incline bench press.

I do agree that 225lbs from touching the delts to full extension is damm strong.

225 is very strong

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.

185 full range is challenging

better try dumbells

Anything above bodyweight, if there is no layback.

I was always told you should be able to lift your bodyweight over your head. At 300 I was repping 315 easy for seated front presses and BNP. I never did standing presses. And yes I know there is no way I could lift my bodyweight right now. (before the jokes start flying)

225 is strong for a natural

315 is strong juiced

I can rep that shit out seated, and imo seated is harder since you can't get a boost with your legs

Ursus · « **Reply #14 on:** October 31, 2009, 09:28:13 AM »

I can rep 225 for reps 6-8 fairly strict. A tiny bit of leg in it though. That is standing. Military feet together etc I dont know.

225 is a very good lift IMO especi if around 210lb mark or less

For me i am able to press more weight seated as i can use some upper chest. Am I the minority??

Boost · « **Reply #19 on:** October 31, 2009, 11:41:13 AM »

315 at a bodyweight of 440

MoralMan · « **Reply #20 on:** October 31, 2009, 11:51:44 AM »

Just an interesting look at back bend vs. modern strict. Pics from the Deszo Ban and J.V. Askem sites.
