How Much Do You DB OVERHEAD PRESS?

90's for reps with a torn rotator cuff. i always take a day off after shoulder day due to pain

best ive done 132s for 5 reps on cycle

and 143s for 2 reps

atm doing 120s on a mild cut diet

pretty happy with those numbers

i think the hardest thing is getting the dumbell into postion, not actually shoulder pressing them lol

my goals 160s, then i wont take my shoulder development any further lol

If you are doing the 160's for reps you will be strong enough to throw people like 20 feet into the air lol!

90's for 10 it's weird I can rep 90's clean, I can do 95 for about 6 clean, but 100's only get like 1-3 and can't get any more out of the 100's

It's because the shoulders are a more slow twitch area, people tend to be able to do a high percentage of their max in shoulders exercises for a lot of reps.

No problem! It is kind of annoying though lol because when I got 150x5 on military press I couldn't get 175x1 lol

i know what you mean I can rep 300 on the bench 2x but i can't do 315 once, but when i was on gear a few years ago I could rep 315 6 times UGH
