Overhead/military press ****s all over bench press.

Got up 215x2 on Monday, I almost dropped the bar on my face on the way down of the second one though.

Standing military?

 

[Spliff]

Yup. Just incorporated standing presses back into the routine these last 3 weeks.

Such a great exercise

I swear, standing military press has my arms/shoulders like , but when I'm done my arms/shoulders are like

Yeah standing, as far as seated goes I can do 255lbs (5 reps), and 105lbs each hand with dumbbells (6 reps) .

Seated is much easier than standing.

teach me how

I can only do 135lbs for reps (standing), my wrists feel frail as fukk whenever I do cleans or standing presses. i can't imagine doing 215, your core and shoulder must feel like exploding.

Did them today, felt my shoulders and arms and even core getting a good work out. I do them with a mixture of incline bench and rarely flat bench

It's not that impressive, Im 226lbs, and was between 230-240lbs when I first pressed over 200lbs. My goal is to shoulder press more than my own BW though, I think I can do it now but not gonna try for another couple weeks.

If I had a rack to overhead press from then I could do more weight. Gotta clean it into pressing position though

215x2 is still 215x2.. nice work. I got bw x8 but I only weighed ~163. My long term goal is to PC + press 225 someday. Prob impossible unless I gain ~15lbs tho

For some reason, I get into a way better pressing position after PC'ing the weight up
