Shoulders: 90s, if I could get the 100s up I'm sure I could do them.

Bench: 125s. That's as high as my gym goes

Jesus, thought I was doing good when I got the 120s up for a few reps in incline.

Right now I only have the powerblock dumbbells and they only go to 120. After I finish the building for the new gym and settle in, I am going to slowly start buying solid head dbs up to 200 maybe up to 250 depending on what I find on the used market

I don't think it's necessary to go up higher than 150 honestly. I reserve my heavy stuff for the barbell.

two downvotes? alrighty then

Like how the only downvotes in this thread are for my post.


Anyone ever dabble with single arm barbell press? I've gotten 135lb. Hard as hell to balance.

And here I thought I was doing well because I got 70lb chest press for 5 reps the other day.

You are, it's about competing with yourself not others. Always going to be somebody stronger

I feel the same way. When I took my previous job i worked out on campus 5 days a week for about 9 months straight and got up to 85's on shoulder press. Also lost a lot of weight. Now after my wife moved back up with me after she finished school i got really fat and weak. Thus I'll be at least lurking on this board now that i joined a gym near by.

Not really dangerous if done in power rack but they sure as hell are humbling

Ahh. The old javelin press aka James Harrison press

These are actually very good for your shoulders
