I'm really close to DL a 2 pl8...I'm sitting at 200 lbs as of now

>>35800562
How do you motivate for the diddly?

>>35800532

4.75plate deadlift. 4.5plate with an axle.

5plate be coming, along with a 2plate push press.

Seated Press? Another ego lifter I see, I bet you load up a whole bunch of plates on the leg press too and are proud of your 1/64 rom.

I on the other hand am preparing for a 4 plate deadlift for a triple today @ 148 pounds. Finishing my cut for the summer on 5/3/1 then just doing SS again in the winter to bulk.

>>35800562
this pic makes me so happy :)

preparing to hit a 315 pound strict standing overhead press at 150 pounds. Thanks

>>35800592
Actually I do seated press because I have a low ceiling in my /homegym/ where I work out because my ego is weak

>>35800592
why does it matter if someones an ego lifter? Youre an ego complainer...

>>35800578
watch sumpermong form videos of course

>>35800608
Nice world record bro.

>>35800615
It's ok. His 4pl8 deadlift is so impressive. I assume since he is 148lbs he a minimanlet to be lifting that much and weigh so little. Gotta be big somewhere so why not on the 4chins

>>35800621
thanks, man. i always like to browse /fit/ like every other world record holder.

195 lbs 88.6 kg today

>>35800592
>that feel when your ceiling is too low to ohp standing
I feel like I lose something doing them seated, but I already smacked my ceiling once when I first tried...

>>35800628

Nah bro I'm 6'4 Lanky Kong mode gonna stretch my arms into your moms pussy

>>35800669
>>35800532

Why don't you people just take the barbell and plates and lift it outside?

Would only take but a few minutes and you don't have to do seated The Press.

>>35800683
Interesting idea. How superior to seated ohp is standing ohp?

I failed the fifth rep on my last set of bench at 140lbs. 305lbs deadlift was easy though so that's good.

190 push press for a 3x5 today with a set of 145 strict press before and after

Gonna get 2plaet over my head soon /fit/

>>35800683
I'm way too lazy to leave my den to randomly appear for a brief period each day in my yard shouting to the gods as I OHP to failure.

Funny this gets posted now. Yesterday I hit one plate standing The Press for 4 reps. It feels like my first real milestone.

Btw is a 180 bench low for that?

>>35800714
Yeah. I Bench 260 and can barely do a 120 OHP.

>>35800693
Seated allows you to lift more weight and therefore hit your shoulders harder. Standing requires more stabilization and hits those muscles throughout your body. "Superior" is subjective.

>>35800693
Interested in this question as well.

>seated
It's not as impressive when you take the easier way out anon, try it standing....

Do you even want to press hot grills above your head?

>>35800693
Quite a few differences. Mainly is huge amount of stabilizer muscles that are being neglected while doing seated. Seated also allows for more weight to be moved just because of the advantages of being seated in general while doing the weight.

Obviously if you are lmited to seated (wheelchair confined, etc) contiune to do it. I was mainly just memeing in my post about seated press being that bad. Just don't do it if you can do standing version.
Here's a shitty article i googled just to put a step in the direction I'm talking about http://breakingmuscle.com/strength-conditioning/the-overhead-press-the-actual-difference-between-seated-standing-dumbbell-and-

Seated Press vs standing press is like Barbell squat vs Leg Press almost in the amount of muscles that are being trained/not trained.

Somehow I did 175x5 Bench Press after not benching for two months. My previous best was 135x5

>>35800750
I see. Thank you for being a legitimate source of information amongst the mongoloids.

>>35800770
Np man, thanks for the (You).

>>35800726
Seriously?

>>35800785

If you're a good bencher and crap presser, that sort of differential isn't impossible.

>>35800785
Yeah, I also only squat 240...

Basically a benchbro

(Cbf replying to everyone ITT)
How the fuck is seated OHP easier than standing? I did standing and when I switched gyms (because reasons) and had switch to seated (because low ceiling) I immediately went from 60kg x 5 to 52.5kg.
Standing is easier to stabilise because you use your entire body to do so
Seated is practically impossible to stabilise. And to make it worse, cleaning the weight and box squatting carefully on the bench to get into position already fatigues you
Am I being memed here? Are you perhaps talking about seated smith press?

>>35800923

You're not doing anything near the form of seated press that they are.

Most gyms have an actual setup for seated press (or you could just drag an adjustable bench into the rack). So no cleaning, no box squatting and an actual backrest to stabilise with.

Doing a seated press with no backrest and no leg drive is indeed pretty damn hard - its similar to a Z press, which is brutal - but that's not how people do them.

>>35800532
>tfw 115 ohp
>tfw 185 squat

>>35800984
it's called leg day bro.....

>>35800971
>an actual backrest to stabilise with.
Never seen that. And how would one move their head out of the bar path? Doesn't the back rest make it impossible? Or is it at an incline?

>>35800923
I think the point that they are trying to get across is that a standing OHP is more effective in the way of working stabilizer muscles therefore allowing you to be stronger overall. It may be harder because one weak stabilizer lowers the amount of weight you can do. Strictly speaking about the impact on the shoulders though seated ohp seems to me to be the tougher workout. Especially without a backrest.
Somebody correct me if I'm wrong

>>35800866
This is a goal I hope to reach, been working out for months and haven't stretched once.
never gonna make it like this

>>35801063

No, you're more or less right. Seated without a backrest is harder because you've got less to stabilise yourself with than standing (and in both cases you've got less than seated with a backrest) because you're reliant only on your abs/lower back instead of abs/lower back and legs.

The downside to a 'tougher' individual exercise is it can dilute the workload too much - whatever is weakest will limit you, so going too far down that road results in a very weak overall workout because you've got one weak link operating in an exaggeratedly weak position.

>>35801118
Thanks. I think from years of swimming competitively my shoulders are way past the progression of the rest of my lifts. I am not too mad about it though, Wealthy Piano tells me that having broad shoulders makes your waist appear smaller

Hello manlet

>>35800825
>adding 20 lbs in a month to your The Press outside of being a beginner
You're full of shit

>>35801213
Consider the fact that he is a beginner? 205lbs is attainable at beginner status. Also don't reply to my fucking thread if you won't contribute with good vibes.

>>35800608
Post body

>>35801256

205x5 strict press is not beginner weight, unless he happens to be the size of a small rhinoceros.

Course, if he can do 205x5 he's probably close to or actually at 225 for at least one or two reps.

>>35801279
Yes, let's fight. Show me your epeen bro, I bet mine is bigger. You want to sword fight?

I didn't say I'm doing 2pl8 for 5 reps man
I just said a 2pl8 OHP
I can probably get 1 rep at that weight if I keep progressing slowly like I have last month, but I could hit a stall too, who fucking knows man

I was able to do 3 sets of 5 at 70kg of OHP

For shits and giggled I tried to do 1 rep of 80kg after
Smashed it.
tried 85kg and was barely able to do.

Feels good slowly sneaking up onto 100kg


My goal is 100kg OHP then I'm changing for high reps.

>>35801320
Nice, hope you get the goal brah

There's over a foot of snow outside

After a year of letting my injury heal, I'm able to squat with great form now.

Taking it slowly and hopefully I can keep up the good form.

But my gym has really shitty bars (normal non-oly ones) and people dont return the weights and it's really hard to squat because there is only one bar that can be used for squats. Same with deads as well.

Funny everybody is hung up on strict OHP since I managed to hit 5x210 this week and followed it up with 3x295 on push press. Apparently I'm a small rhinoceros.

grats bro, make those fucking gains

>>35801686
Yep, even though it took forever to get to that point. I'm focusing a bit more on my push press at the moment, otherwise I would have heaved a couple extra reps. My all-time best on strict press is 3x230, though.

>>35801733
Weird question but whats your Incline like?

if not BB, DB

I'm>>35801303
and I get 115 for 8 with incline db

>>35800857
You say as if a 4 plate deadlift is "high" I'm trying not to make excuses for my height so 4 plate is just average. I feel that could easily progress on a bulk on SS.

If you are wondering I also hit the 3 reps for 405 (:

>>35801155

Hello. This pretty girl just talked to everyone at the gym but me. I must have been too short for her to notice.

>>35801741
Haven't done an incline press in nearly three years. If I had to guess then I'd be in the range of 3x275-290. You kinda have me wondering, though. Might have to toss a few reps in tomorrow and see what happens.

>>35801761
Is it easy to deadlift as a manlet? since you only have to pick up the bar like 1ft

>65 kg ohp

Why are deadlifts so hard. I can pull lmao4pl8 with a fucked up form, but once I try to tighten my lower back I can barely pull 150.

>>35801771
I wish I could give a detailed answer but I can only speak for myself. I feel like it's easy and it's my best lift while my squat is shit in comparison. (320 last one rep max a few months ago)

I have a friend who is 6'4 and is only at a 270 deadlift for work sets, but he is nearly squatting 3 plate for 3x5. So the best I can say is it's not just distance travled cause of height. But also arm length, femur length have a lot to say in how easy the lifts are.

>>35800532
I go to your gym

>>35800532
>Seated
why

>>35800532
Gonna try and pull the 100lb dumbells tomorrow. I can do 95 for 8 reps right now.

The Press. DYEL confirmed

granted, i've only done seated 3 or 4 times and have been training standing for years, but still...

Low ceiling bro read the thread.

I think I hurt my back recently doing standing ohp. I think those accessory muscles need to catch up to my arms.

I feel bad for you man

Benched 225 x6 other day
I avoid ohp because shoulder pain lasts a long time after it.
I can probly seated ohp 115 x8
I can do side extensions wit 30s and hold out though for a while.
Barely dl cuz back pain sucks.
2 years ago I dl about 345 I think.
Now probably 280 would kill me.
Spine problems suck man. I had perfect form, still injured back.
Scared to dl over 185 now.

My stats are all fucked up

OHP 130 x5
Bench 180 x5
Squat 200 x5
Dead 280 x5

Just hit 200 on squat. Felt good to finally start moving squat up to catch up to the rest.

>>35800750

Would it be worth switching to seated to break a plateau in standing?

>>35802036
what kind?

>>35802156
Gotta switch things up every once in a while

>>35802146
I noticed my squat jump fast by going in the pocket.
I met some dude bragging hard af about a 500+ squat. Seriously bent his legs like 3 degrees.
Racked it.

What's 'in the pocket'?

>>35800532

Benched 405 for reps in a slanger then got fucking pneumonia which has knocked me out completely for a few weeks.

I just want to bench 4 plates raw familia. I'm so close.

Hey guys, check out my 4pl8 squat. I'm feeling pretty gr8 about it

>>35800532
Isnt that just a military press?

>>35802429
You stand straight for a military press.

>>35802444
i always though sitting was called military press then standing was ohp but it has something to do with feet placement and stance idgi

>>35801771
I'm 5'8" and my deadlift ROM is 21 inches
>>35801794
Bad form counts. It just means you're so strong off the floor that you can pick up a much heavier weight than some other person can't even budge.

Bad form or not, it's a lift. The bar don't lie.
There are guys who don't budge that weight off the floor, and you respect them because they have perfect form?
Get real.

>>35802453

They're generally interchangeable. Military just means strict OHP (as opposed to push press or using lots of lean).

Some people think military is OHP with your feet close together but I've never seen a coach write in military press with that intention.

>>35802444
Military press is feet together as you press (without also giving a little push with your legs to add some momentum). It's a harder lift, but it's not much better than your standard OHP.

>>35800592

I ran 3 miles and wasn't winded at all near the end.

>>35800866
High bar? Nice, I am almost there too. Any specific stretching regimine you do? I just do butterflies, calf stretch, and the free form squat stretch.

I'm a couple weeks away from my goal of losing 50lbs.

I deadlifted a personal best of 245lbs 5x5 on Monday. I felt like I could have done even more.

I am within striking distance of 1pl8 OHP.

Good job OP ! Yesterday hit 3x80 ohp @ 80 bw, after 2h20 of oly lifting, heavy pulls and squats ! Feels good, I'll try 3x85 at the beginning of a training and then 1x95

>>35803821
Fuark what your other lifts look like ?

>>35800532
I just got one question for yah, where you holding the bar fammy, this is important.

>>35802285
In the pocket was just a term I picked up from prison lol I thought it was normal slang.
But meaning goin all the way down. Or in. We didn't have those squat safety bars so alot of people were scared to drop too far down on the squats.
Just make sure you get in that pocket lol

Feeling pretty good right now. Managed to bench 230x4 yesterday, and today I'm aiming to squat 295x5.

Goal is to reach 315x5 on squat in about a month and that much on bench in a year. Also trying to reach 4pl8 deads, currently at 335x5
