Race to bodyweight standing strict overhead press

[padrote]

Tried to go for 3 reps with 190 tonight.... got one in.

So new 1rm: 190lbs
bodyweight: 245lbs

[boathead]

i originally posted my max at 135 x 5...i tested for a 1rm, and hit 155 with form...was able to hit 165, with shaky, not quite ready for prime time, form.

so put me in the table at 155lbs.

[CyborgX]

Add me to the list. I'm currently 209lb and did 185x4 for 3 sets yesterday.

[madaozeki]

in.


pr 225

bw 270

Gotcha.

not push pressing, i can use two 37.5kg (82.5lbs)dumbells and press for five seated that was some weeks ago final set of workout ill have to check fresh weights lifted. in the clean and jerk my pressing action is good its just the clean part which lacks the strength i think i could do more if the clean part was better. ill try seated 1RM Seated OHP tuesday to see what my shoulders can press when clean action is removed.

OK, will wait til you've done a proper standing OHP though! You can start with the bar in the rack so you don't have to clean it first.

225x5 last week. It jumped so fast I was geekin out haha. Big ole' smile on my face .

Nice workout Hope you're good for more than 235 now!!

finally did some miltary pressing in the gym 2nte, didn't go as well as i had hoped for, it was one of those sesh's where i just had no energy and a bit of a sore back. anyway my pressing was

50kgsx12
60kgsx8
70kgsx6
80kgsx1
90kgsx1
100kgs-fail
95kgs-fail ran out of push.

it was a strict as i could do it, but there was a tiny bit leg use involved.

i reckon itl prob take me 4-6weeks to reach 102kgs which is my bodywieght but ill prob drop 2kgs just so i can round it to 100kgs.

Good work! Hope you can try to max out without any leg drive to make it totally legit!

I do them in one of the power racks. I set the bar at about chin level so it is easier to get into place.

BW: 190
Standing OHP = 155x10

I had forgotten about this thread or I would have tried more weight. I'll see about it next week.

Last week while doing them seated (butt backed up to the back pad and shoulders against backpad as well), I did 185x10 and 225x1.

Good stuff, that's a big set at your BW! Hope you can try a 1RM soon so I can update the chart accordingly.

I kinda sorta did it brahs. 145x6 @ 163, seated. Whatevs, I'm happy even if it's not powerlifting legit.

Haha! Well overhead pressing isn't a powerlifting event, so it's all good Still, to get in on this properly, go ahead and try it standing up!

hit 145x6 standing yesterday. Not going to max for a bit though, folloowing 5/3/1.

But an extra rep, is an extra rep.

Nice work, and duly noted!

Tried to go for 3 reps with 190 tonight.... got one in.

So new 1rm: 190lbs
bodyweight: 245lbs

Good stuff! Noted below.

Add me to the list. I'm currently 209lb and did 185x4 for 3 sets yesterday.

You're in, too!

i originally posted my max at 135 x 5...i tested for a 1rm, and hit 155 with form...was able to hit 165, with shaky, not quite ready for prime time, form.

so put me in the table at 155lbs.

Great work!

OK, I went ahead and updated the table. I added a column for % of bodyweight, and sorted it by that to make a sort of "leaderboard". Remember, we'll keep this open until everyone has made the goal or died trying!

The following is a list of lifters who still have only sent in a "rep PR", rather than a 1RM (1-rep-max). Hope we can get the whole chart to 1RM ASAP. Remember that it's the fastest way to move up the leaderboard:

[Dracoy]

BW 160

Put me down for 140 1 RM.

[samsuperjew5]

bw 160 on an average day (heavy day in my profile)

i think i'm also at 140, mabye slightly more

[Poppy83]

I got somewhat close tonight. I did a fair amount of lighter weights for reps and went for a 1RM.

BW: 193
OHP: 185

[Blindead]

I think I might devote a workout or two to maxing out after this week since I'm spending this week doing really light work and accessory work only. we'll see how I do on a strict 1rm.

[FatWhiteKid]

I'm down. BW 165, SOHP 135.

[raz1875]

BW 205

My military press is 150 lbs for reps.

Don't know what my 1RM is I never do
them?

[DudeManBro]

Hey, can I be in this?

Current:

120X5


Body Weight:

165

[Dracoy]

Put me at 145.

[19george]

160x1 today.

[kvnf]

ill join!
BW=255
max 245ish

[Cyborg Surfer]

Count me in!

My current stat is - 105 - 3x5, any Idea on what my 1RM should be? Ill give it a go!

[HumanHorrorFilm]

Hit 150x4 yesterday

Getting there, hopefully when i hit BW, ill be doing ti for reps.

(also cutting at the same time too, so maybe i can go backward in BW, upward in OHP weight)

[padrote]

This is not my max week so it was a 3x3 wednesday session, got 2x3x175 and failed on the first rep of last set... lol.

I'm on a keto diet now so i'm planning to meet my bodyweight with my OH max at like 215-220.

[spooq]

BW 98kg/216lbs
OHP 5x50kg/110lbs
51%

I will do a 1RM soon, but just put me down for 50 for now. Also dropping weight

[LessThanLuke]

Hit 198lbs strict today. Bw up to 215.

[gymratharris]

I hit 235x1 on seated press fairly easy today with a pause after benching and board presses. Didn't do standing because my back was tight from deadlifting yesterday. Next week I'll do standing and I know I'll hit more than the 205 I listed as my previous PR.

[CyborgX]

I tried to record a 210lb standing press this morning at 207lb body weight and was just an inch from locking it out! I swear I was standing there for 10 seconds trying to finish the lift and now my back is a little sore. Hopefully I'll be able to weigh in at 205 next week because that weight would have gone up for sure.

[CyborgX]

Count me in!

My current stat is - 105 - 3x5, any Idea on what my 1RM should be? Ill give it a go!

I'd guess you could do somewhere around 130-135. The only way to figure it out is to just go for it!

[Perceptionist]

did some standing strict military presses after benching last night.

bw: 168 lbs

went up to 185x5 last night all pauses on the chest to lockout.

sadly these felt heavy. haven't done these in a long time so need to get use to this movement again. I will train this movement for the next couple months and see what happens. in the past I could rep 185 for 10. my goal is to get back down to 165 or below and rep 165 for 20. People that trained with me or know me here can vouch for my decent overhead pressing strength. sorry no vid.

[Dracoy]

Hitting standing military press, kept them strict by having no leg drive.This is the first time I've did a max out on film. I didn't notice I started with knees slightly bent. Next video I will lock out knees before I do the press. In these videos the press moment locked out my knees naturally .

Just finished my shower and I noticed my knees pop out a little bit just standing naturally, so I don't think it added much drive to my lift. But if it doesn't count, I'll re-shoot !

nice lift bro

[squat4speed]

Add me in, I weigh 146 (round to 145 ) and my max I think is 115 Im guessing but prolly a lot better if i actually did it lol..

[Dracoy]

nice lift bro

Thanks!

[mad_fox]

Military Press
10x45
5x95
5x135
5x160
3x195 - Couldn't do any more so switched to push press 2x195 push press

Standing DB Shoulder Presses

Military press sucked today, I always get stuck right around here, I've never been able to hit 200x5. I'm really going to be working hard over the next month or so to break this plateau. Wish me luck.

[Dracoy]

Standing DB Presses must be insane.

[IronAbrams]

Put me down.

Bodyweight is 180-185 right now so I'll go for a nice plate and a quarter 185.

Max right now is around 140.
