finally hit 100lb dumbbells in the seated shoulder press

[TheStreetKing]

Sorry just felt that getting into the triple digit dumbbells was a big accomplishment

There's nothing weak about shoulder pressing 100lb dumbbells with Good Form and ROM, 100s are more than 75% of all weight lifters can do so if you did it then that's pretty good weight!

Negs on r/c for calling me a miscer.

Quit rantin brah

Here is a video of the heavy set for this week sorry camera battery died after three reps...let me know how the form looks

[oldballs]

that is great work! how long did it take you to get there from 80 lbs? I can do 80 x 4 and im hoping in 2 years I could get 100 x 2.

As far as I can see it looks like good form and I'm jealous of your gym! The selection and amount of dumbbells they have is impressive.

[Xuaxace]

Can't believe op delivered... good fom for db presses

[Pinfected]

Impressive. I've been hitting 85 for 2-3 reps seated, 75 standing. Hope to hit triple digits by the end of the year.

[ClassyEcdysiast]

Great work OP.

[OregonBBinc]

You could, but I've never seen anyone lean back while doing the bb press. What I meant when I said 'shorter RoM' was that even if you tried to touch your delts with the DB's, the RoM would be less than that of the bb press.

not trying to be rude but if you take a step back, you might realize youre arguing just to argue. you can absolutely cheat on pretty much any exercise, which one people cheat more on could probably be debated all night.

never the less, 100 lbs is good weight. whether you cheated or not op, still need to be strong to control that kind of weight, good job man.

[DrFlexologist]

If you did them using the Scott Press then I'd be impressed.

[Mrpb]

I do agree it takes a lot of power to do this exercise with 100lb dumbbells.

From a different perspective, if I account for bodyweight the OP is lifting 37% of his bodyweight. That's exactly the same amount I do. Makes me feel better about myself

[adamdavidson47]

OP what's your standing press like?

[davidolson22]

Very nice! I'm impressed.

[ungeheur]

If you did them using the Scott Press then I'd be impressed.

considering how good his form and control was, I think it's pretty impressive. I can hit the 100s for maybe 5 reps on a good day, but I don't make it look nearly as easy as he did. Good form, nice control-- good job OP. Keep doing what you're doing! What did you do for weight/ reps on your first 2-3 sets?

[patnshan]

I'm impressed, but maybe that's because I use 35's for reps (just started, so don't hate). I hope to get there someday too.

[ThickAsABrick]

Nice work. It's a good milestone.

50's (warm up)
75's
90's
100's

[Juggernaut33]

Good job, OP. That's a strong lift.

[Preban_AR15]

Honestly expected 1/2 ROM and plenty of lean making it more of an incline press. GJDM

[ungeheur]

50's (warm up)
75's
90's
100's

Pretty much what I do

which lifetime are you at?

[BuschWolff]

Pretty much what I do

Depends on the day - Lakeville, Plymouth and Bloomington East

[Mdenatale]

You sure those are 100's? Can you provide a certificate from the National Office of Weights and Measures? Sorry just had to join in with the non-believers.



seriously though, very impressive.

[BuschWolff]

I've always loved this excercise so i've been doing them a long time. But just switched to PRRS about 3-4 months ago and I love the heavy power weeks it takes a long time those days since you take 5 minutes between sets.

Before PRRS I was doing 50,60,70,75 for ten reps

[BuschWolff]

If you did them using the Scott Press then I'd be impressed.

Lets see a video of your heavy set Scott Press
