Average Teen Over Head Press/ Seat military

[bryane55]

Hey just wondering what the average Seat military and or over head press is for a teen? I seem to have the best in my school. So just wonering if I'm above average or m whole school is weak and I'm average lol mine in 225lbs and the 2nd highest in my school is 175lbs. There was a kid last year that got 225lbs but he graduate and weights aroung 280lbs

cool story bro.

ya it is, whats ur over head press?

[Wolf-Baron]

The average for a person who lifts should be around 160-180 (standing). Just my opinion.

Dunno about seated though.

Is standing easier than seated?

Seated is easier.
You can have more leg drive while doing seated as well. Making it easier

[bryane55]

Is standing easier than seated?

Yes because you have the advantage of using you legs a lil bit.

that's more of a push press than a regular overhead press

[Uberwaffle]

Standing might actually be easier since , with heavy weights, your back might bend, letting you use some of your chest power. Not sure if that's "strict" or whatever, but that's just what i do sometimes

there is no "average" really

[Dr.Payne11]

lets define a full rep...to the top of your chest and up?? or some half *** rep to your forehead??

you don't overhead press 225

[dankydank]

a bodyweight strict standing overhead press puts you over 95% of the population in terms of shoulder strength
so i know theres some estating going on hur

[xc_mtb]

with strict form seated best i can do is 165 lol

[omfgapolarbear]

I can eak out maybe 125, but my overhead strict press is a weak point for me.

[MetallicaGTRST]

I did 195 @ 175 lbs.

I think average is about 1x bodyweight. But if you are like 5'6" 180 or something... Obviously 1x bodyweight would be a joke.

[DaDemDatDere]

i dont know what average is for seated

i got 70x5 for seated DB. idk what that translates to for BB

i can prolly rep 165 for like 2 or 3 on BB

Probably about 175. At the time I did 195x1, I did 80x4 with dumbells.

I only count it as a rep if it gets to your adams apple or lower on barbell (I always go to my chest personally), and it has to touch your shoulders on dumbell.

hmm i dont know if i can get 175 on BB shouder press man. numbers seem legit. i guess it still comes down to that one equation:

DBx2+25=BB

[st3v3]

Did 185 standing @174 without training it, going for 215-225 in a week or 2 since I've been training it the last month.

Idk how much I do seated, I don't train it. Also there's no seated press thing at my gym.

[KoalaZ]

Lol..the average teen bench press is like 155, that sure as **** isn't the average standing press.

Wut is this thread for real

damn i feel weak reading these forums.

Lmao this thread is a joke, look through the workout logs and see how many people are putting up even 135 on strict standing overhead press, and a large chunk of those lifters are a good bit stronger than the average teen.

[AirWar]

^ Lol
im not even hitting 100lbs yet, but ive only been lifting for 2 months...

[babyslayer]

320x10 standing not locking out (i lean back, and use a back support, a belt, wrist wraps, and elbow sleeves)

and 350x4 seated shoulder press taking the bar to my chin (bottom of my arms to parallel) but the seat had a angle in it.


when i had 350x4 seated shoulder press like that, i could had like 285x9 military press (not locking out)

[gettinitdun17]

i do 175

[KoalaZ]

The 'average teen' doesn't even lift, I would be surprised to see how many could even put up 95.

oh and just to be a word nazi...seated military doesn't exist. it's called a military press because you stand straight up with feet together or almost together, like you would stand at attention in the army. If it's seated it's called a seated overhead press.

[GTL]

op you dont overhead press 225
possibly push press

[Wolf-Baron]

OP did you do 225 standing or sitting?

[__Iceman__]

I only do a bit over 100lbs for 5 reps standing. 150lbs+ is in no way the average for teens. Maybe the average for those who have been lifting seriously for at least a year or two, but not the average teenager.

[Xuaxace]

Hmmm


I have always used dumbells, last week my max set was 60lbs x5

In the other hand my Overhead press was only 100lb (standing), mind you I did them after doing the dumbells and my shoulders were absolutely dead.

With the smiths machine I can do around 180lb for reps, but I guess everyone can...
