My 1rm ohp is 120, or 115 for a triple

Just pressed 60lb Dumbbells for 3x6 full Rom touching shoulders... Wot is life

With db you don't have to worry as much about ''bar path''

Yeah that is pretty true, I thought barbell movements were supposed to be stronger tho

And people said I was weak in here when I pressed 80lb db's seated for 6 after pyramid warmup 30-70x20. (5x on 60 and 70) as a noob



my db always been higher than strict bb, unless I use my legs. Can open elbows wider

80 is pretty heavy tbh, idk how much u weigh though, but if your 1rm is around your bodyweight, then that's pretty impressive. my use your legs u mean a push press?

how bout your bench? I did 77lbs for 5 but I bench 181.5 for 5

Do you do seated db press and standing ohp?
Seated is usually easier for most people.

I am super weak in db however, done ~195lbs standing OHP but I have struggle a bit doing like 6 reps with ~70lbs db's seated.

Hehe classic turtle struggling to get it up

thats good.

I only ohp db 80's for 5-8

Yeah never tested my 1RM on seated DB. I could get 100s for two w/ wrist straps (never used) I'm sure for 1 and I weight 180 currently, and yes push press.

Used to rep 225 5x2, had to take a break cuz shoulder injury I'm about where you're at right now currently. I'll hit 305 by end of September tho

yeah, seated db vs standing ohp/military. I guess you can use a bit of leg drive in seated db. 195 standing OHP o_o holy fuk... I guess you practice that movement a lot cuz of oly lifts?



80s is pretty nuts tho. that's more than my db chest press.



I can't even imagine a 1rm with dbs.. you get quite a bit out of the stretch reflex, and getting them into a decent starting position would be tough. you're going for a 305 push press by sept??
