military press your working sets and weight you use?

I do mine after chest and laterals so I stick with 135-155 for 8-10 on the Smith. My ego doesn't factor into the weights I use.

I can rep out 225 lbs for 8 reps....that's strict reps.

I can do 275 lbs x 4 (but they won't be strict and I'll be using my back as well)

Military press is not my strongest shoulder exercise. I can go heavier with behind the neck press. I can do 315 lbs x 3 or 4 on that.

I think realistically, my shoulders and triceps are my strongest muscle groups - relatively speaking, because I bench 405 lbs x 1 (sometimes 2) but I can narrow grip bench 315 x 2 reps

I like that approach personally. Prefatiguing decreases the weight you need to use and would also enable to push your delts further towards true MMF by saving the weaker link tris.

I really like this for women b/c we tend to have substantially smaller waists and find it harder to stabilize the core when that heavy weight is at arm's length overhead.

Oh crap! Having to clean the weight then press is not easy! Good work.
