I always like to see what other people are doing to kind of compare and see where I may be lacking compared to someone with similar lifts.

I noticed that you only did 160x4 on your last set of milt. press... I can easily do a similar progression and get 160x7-8

But I max out at 80lb db's for presses (7-8 reps).... Even if I start with that exercise

wonder why that would be....

I'm not really sure why your maxing at 80lbs. I'm not sure how you're routine goes but maybe too many warmups? I wouldn't be able to give a suggestion or idea unless I can get an understanding of your routine. Had I started with dumbells, I'm usually good for 8-10 reps with 90lb dumbells for my top set. As far as the military press goes, I have just started adding those into my routine. I had been using the Smythe Machine for seated military presses and decided to go to the barbell from now on. So I hope my numbers can increase on that. Good Luck!

Is this the type of split your going to be doing? What's your goal? The 5x5 is a great way to get both and there are lot's of people here that will agree. You might want to have a look at the sticky at the top of the thread page. Good luck!!

I have looked into the 5x5 training and will begin that very soon. I just ended a 8 week routine of Doggcrapp training for strength gains. And they came tremendously. After those 8 weeks, there is the "cruise" period which is what I'm on. I thought about restarting DC but everyone keeps talking about 5x5 and Bill Starr. The 5x5 has been doing great for two friends of mine so I am going to begin that in a week or two. Hopefully I can experience the same gains in strength/size like my two good buddies. Thanks for the idea.
