At 6' 0'', and 145lbs, is 75 lb dumb bell press (6-8 reps) good?
Also, I mean 75 lb in each hand.

Let me ask you this.
Is your goal to lift more weight or build more muscle?
Weight is irrelevant, proper form and feeling the muscle work is more important.
Like mentioned above if your seeing progress then yes it's good, if you started at 80's or hav been stuck at 75's for a while we have a problem.I saw a woman wearing a sweatshirt with Guess on it. I said, Thyroid problem?

I would say that 75 lbs is a decent pressing weight (in each hand) for 6-8 reps for many people, but it is in total just above your body-weight, which relative to your body-weight is very very good.
I am assuming that you are talking about dumbbell shoulder press in this thread.Bear mode engaged crew

Good and bad are subjective words. Numbers only have an impact in lifting when you get into strength sports like powerlifting and olympic lifting and even then, those are just numbers, they don't tell your story.
If a bloke just recovered from a terrible car accident, did physical therapy for a year and just got back in the gym, and went to be a powerlifting meet and put up 500 lb total. I'd be more impressed by him then the elites totaling over 1500.https://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=180003183&p=1635918623#post1635918623

I'm guilty of that sh*t too, waiting for somebody to powder my nuts cuz I did 20 reps of whatever the **** on the bench. Big f*king deal. It is all relative." G Diesel

focus more on progress, everyone is gonna handle different amounts of weight differently. i know alot of real small guys who can put up a ton of weight, and alot of real big guys who cant pick up the pringles can. Its hard to compare say my lifting weight to yours bc of how our muscles will react, for only lifting for 6 months yes i think that is good but remember focus more on what will give you the best results not being the strongest guy in the gym.
