He said he could military press that much!?

Yeah. He said he has done 255, and before that he claimed 270, but later said that he thought he could do it, but he failed on that attempt.

Edit: I can standing over head BB press 125 for 1 rep, I know my shoulders suck REALLY badly, but I'm doubtfull of someone that weighs less than me doing over twice as much. I saw a dude ~250lbs get 275 up to his shoulders, but that shit was really intense.

I've done seated military press with 195 for 9 reps.
I don't go down and touch my chest though like you see some people doing..

EWWWWWWW YOU'RE ONE OF THOSE KIND OF PEOPLE.


I'm a strong believer in full RoM on everything (fapping included).

Me too, but NN to break my shoulders.

I do full ROM on basically everything else.

True true. My shoulders are really weird, I got very loose joints (can pop my arm out of the joint, no pain). Doing fly's hurts my shoulders often, a tendon between my shoulder and pec (under front delt?) hurts like a mofo.




I think he's got his reasons for it, and I kind of agree with him a little bit for overhead press. He's a shit ton more experienced than me or most people on here.

Nice. My elbows/knees are garbage.



Don't talk to me about full ROM.

On the seated machine shoulder press I can't go all the way down... My shoulder pops >.<

This is why I use dumbbells whenever possible for any exercise.
Edit: Except like squats and deads lmao

I haven't used the smith machine...another reason why I don't go all the way down.

DB's are better for full ROM on shoulder presses for me.
