what is a respectable weight for DB shoulder press?

[Stiffler]

im just wondering what is a respectable weight for DB shoulder presses is?

 

[the People's Champ]

why should there be a standard? as much as you can do correctly. if you have awesome form, and have had results with the weight you are lifting with, why does it matter? that goes with any exercise IMHO

I agree there should be no standard, but if you really want a number I’d say you're doing pretty good if you can at least military press your body weight for sets.

I'm assuming by body weight you are talking about the total weight of both dumbells? Body weight in each hand would be a bit much...

No, I do my body weight in each hand...

Ok... maybe not

Yeah of course the combined total of the DB’s

I'm jealous too. The best I have got up to is the 65lb ers for 7 or 8 reps.

You know what dude maybe its not that bad. Because at my gym there's only couple guys that can go over 80lbers so wer're still cool compared to most people anyway.
