what is a respectable shoulder press @ 5'11 185lbs

[inb4ripped]

fukin misc keeps mind fuking me on what decent lifts actually are..

inb4 90x8 minimum lulululul

i do 75's for 5.. got a vid! i think most miscers claiming huge shoulder presses aren't hitting their depth...

youre already there. srs

[steelbath]

thats 4 reps, didnt see the fifth, i dont count reps with help, that is if he helped

[lookingforgains]

OP bring turn the dumbells inward so your palms are facing each other and tuck your elbows in slightly (though not nearly as much as an arnold press) at the bottom of each rep.

Your ROM is good despite what others are saying, but having your elbows flared at the bottom of the lift may cause problems.

I do shoulder presses with the bench at around 65 degrees instead of 90 which allows me to use more weight but I can get 90x4 at 5'6 ~165lbs.

LOL at calling out miscers on depth and then minimising your time under tension by failing to hit the DBs together at the top. Good weight & depth though & also good physique, thick, tight, solid.

You on cell tech bro?

[TomTucker11]

Its all about standing Military Press wit at least 45's on the bar...

[fantasticoo]

thats 4 reps, didnt see the fifth, i dont count reps with help, that is if he helped

NAH BRO IM FUKIN NATTY OKAY? I'M 100% NATURAL WARRIOR REPRESENT

[GodofBasketball]

I can puishpress 185 but can only do 45 times 5 dumbell seated press (srs)

LOL!

[TaseT]

i think its just they aren't hitting full ROM man



Semi-Agreed on the negative, i get a bit sloppy on my last few sets. Those negatives were still 1-2seconds each..

Don't go so low? uhh, no thanks. Thats a full, natural range of motion. why wouldn't i complete a full rep..

This is driving me nutts.

You people need to relax with the "Full ROM" nonsense. Personally, a "full ROM" is getting my arms slightly lower than parallel to the floor, when I have tried to force it lower than that I've injured myself (not fun). This is because, for me, there is nothing natural about putting my fist close to my shoulder, even without weight in my had that is uncomfortable. I've seen taller guys that have the same issue at anything less than parallel.

News flash - not everyone has an identical body. Do what feels comfortable, helps you gain strength, and doesn't lead to injury.

Because I know you're wondering - I rep 75x10 unassisted and I'll do 80x6 when I have someone to spot me.

[jrhodez]

did the 90's for 4.

but regularly work with 55-70lb dumbbells

[ZenBowman]

Good ROM bro, was expecting 1/4 ROM shoulder twitches, was pleasantly surprised.

[gkicksass]

yeah this is the thing. In my gym, i'm actually kinda strong.

on the misc? LOL WEAKSAUCE

mind is full of fuk

yea but you look better than 99.99999% of the misc. i max out at 205x1 on barbell and i weight around 195 right now but i dont look nearly as good as you(no homo.)

[Anabolichef]

I can do 3 sets of 100s x 8 reps DEEP

isthatgood?

you even lift *******?

[HoneycombBandit]

i only counted 3 reps???

and i put up 75s 10x no spotter.. You mad?


Ya you mad.

[SkinnyAlbo123]

I see no1 going that low, have you had any shoulders injury?

[Younglifter16]

I go that low every rep, I assume this is 5 pages of people knocking your form. Perfect form OP, don't let the insecure people that go only halfway down on all their presses and still use less weight tell you otherwise (srs).

LOL at calling out miscers on depth and then minimising your time under tension by failing to hit the DBs together at the top.

You're not supposed to fully lockout the top, or fully lockout on anything. A slight lockout is it, fully locking out is bad for the elbows, same concept with leg press. Do a slight lockout to get the rep completed.

I usually use 110's-115's for my set but I have worked up to a triple or so with 120s.

[MnMs]

Ignore the trolls.

+/- 350

[ThrowLiftSleep]

At least a million a hand. Maybe more. I do 3 sets of 20 with skyscrapers @ 125lb come at me bro.

[MasterFool]

I'll post up a vid of my shoulder press ROM, edge of dumbells touch my shoulders.

feels fukin deep man.jpg

I go deeper than this with a barbell - the bar touches my clavicles - is this too low then or what? I used to take the bar to eye level but figured that was cheating so I changed it up and dropped some weight off the bar to compensate.

[Djfranktank]

i do 1lbs
1repmax

[Ancient Olympia]

When people say they can do something without video evidence they are usually full of ****.

"I can bench 315lbs."

usually means

"With a super tight lifting shirt and a bro spotter reducing the overall weight of the lift..... Doing the calculations now.... Yes, this chart tells me I should be able to bench 300lbs. so I'm going to tell everyone I can bench 315lbs. even though I've never actually benched more than 250lbs."

[SickSideSoldado]

thats good bro

i can only do 50's i want to get at least up to 60 this upcoming month
