    For 1 rep max???

    On arnolds maybe 90's?

    BB military seated = No idea
    BB military standing (from chest) = maybe 175-185?

    Have Problems?... Chances are its due to overpopulation

    Right now? only a 205 seated military press.
    when I was in shape ( and on the juice) I could do 315 seated.
    I highly recommend all IronMagLabs supplements!

    A 1RM calculator estimates my best standing military press (155x5) to come out to a single of 175. Also, I have done standing DB presses at 70x4. This is at a bodyweight of 185 and a height of 6 foot.

    Dr. Leistner says that a true test of upper body strength is to press your BW for 10 reps. JV Askem has said a similiar thing as well.

    they always do it standing and it is a strict press.

    Wow. I doubt I'll ever even achieve a flat press of that caliber. How much does this fellow weigh? Do you know if he's juicing? Either way, that's impressive.

    Holy buhjesus. That is incredibly impressive. Looks like those clean and jerks probably helped him reach that level of strength in the overhead press.

    yea, he feels that the split jerk puts to much pressure on his back leg so he only power jerks. His shoulder press is so good though sometimes he gets called for pressing out. He was red lighted for pressing out 160kgs (352lbs)....lol.

    Same here. I really suck at this. I'm not a strong person anyway, but on military press, my performance really sucks.
