how much can you push press?

[jeremys]

i just started doing these heavy and i can only muster 155 for 5 reps. and those are shakey wobbley reps. however i foresee great gains in the near future on the ol push press and ultimately my bench

 

[spatts]

Most ever, so far, 185.

I have been using 135 for reps, but I tweaked my wrist benching, and then did it again on my first rep at 135 on the push presses tonight. Looks like it's Dixie cup ice night for me.

Nice. Love your avatar by the way.

 

[spatts]

Why, thank you!

 

[Yarg!]

95 for 8 wOOt wOOt- Thats fully rejuventated mind you. God I suck....

 

[b fold the truth]

My overheads have sucked with a bar lately, but I am fixing that.

About 4 weeks ago I did 250 x 7 but think that I could get 10-12 at the moment. I've been doing strict pressing standing for the past several weeks and hope to put up some bigger numbers (315+) by Fall's end.

Tonight I used my 2 3/8" bar and did 40, 90, 130, 150, 163, 180, 202 x 5, then 220 x 3...all VERY strict with no leg drive at all and standing. I then set a 3 rep PR on inclines with 337 x 3

congrats on the pr man....looks like your ohp is constantly rising now. nice bench too.

 

[JOKER47]

I believe I crapped out an ugly 215x1 before Bluegrass, but normally it's 205x1.

I'll fix that.......

Did 3 easy sets of 5 today with 160... Can probaby handle at least another 10 lbs for sets of 5

 

[from zero]

I've done 185 before. Haven't done them heavy in a long time.

 

[Lord_Suston]

I did get 235 x5 a while back probably 4-6 weeks ago

bfold, nice strict pressing just noticed your post here.

 

[Cuthbert]

205 for around 5

 

[jeremys]

lots of impressive numbers..

lots of impressive numbers..

most strongmen and women train for overhead stuff instead of bench, so don't worry about it yours will go up real quick

thanks man i hope so

hopefully i will wobble less too. feels dangerous as hell

 

[brian747478`]

building the balance and core strength to hold heavy weights overhead seems like the most difficult part to me.

[BIGJGrimm]

I do sets of 6- 8 with 225 strict presses. hope to be much higher soon.

Later.........

[Scotsman]

I do about the same as GRIMM. He just needs to learn the leg drive part better and 300 will be no problem. Right now we just do presses with no leg drive for the first set or two.

Cheers,

[coolcolj]

didn't someone already ask this a few days back?

I'll say it again, Spatts you are damn strong. I couldn't do that myself

 

[t3c]

ohhh...i can almost taste it

 

[longarms]

Nice. Love your avatar by the way.

Spatts, the picture by the fireplace is beyond words as well. You have one lucky photographer!

Lookin' good. & still stronger than me.

BTW, take care of the wrist, hate to have you get hurt with all the recent success.

Oh yea, 205x1
