Default personal bests

I managed a personal best this week on shoulder press using smiths machine
125K shoulder press for 7 reps
3 warm up sets with bar only thats 35K
1 set of 12 with 75K
1 set of 10 with 115K
1 set of 7 with 125K

I usually press with 46K dumbells as we iant got any heavier used the smiths for a change,and ended up very surprized,not bad for a middle aged bloke of 45

For a shoulder press my PB on an Olympic bar rear press is 95 kg for 8

Deffo good for 105 for a double

On a smith I'm at 3 plates a side so with the bar at around 30 that makes 150 kg

Very tidy lifting!

I hit my best a couple of weeks back on shoulders, managed 3 sets of 8 on 28's, I don't think it's too bad considering I only weigh 11 1/2 stone!

Yes that was a standing press
But was on a press machine
Basically a seat with a frame with 2 handles that you load the plates on to

1 of my training partners pressed 6 plates a side with out a spot

So that's 240 kg for 10
And he is a pro body builder and is silly big lol

I will have to record it next session as it wasn't recorded this time

I will let you know what it's like (if i make it lol).

Defo give consideration to popping to Bedford too. Would be good to train with some big blokes. Certainly wouldn't hurt to get some tips on my training and be pushed a little too. Sounds like you guys go very heavy. Would beat being around some of the puffed up chest brigade of David Lloyd.

I do 150kg military press with my Olympic bar , 3 sets of 6 , no idea what i could do one off, but I've started training for highland games ( later strongman) so I maybe don't count, just got my dumper truck tyres in for lift and carry and flip, they're 320kg. I'll need to try and get some vids taken , I'm really into using equipment not in the gym as find a lot of the machines either don't go up enough or assist you too much,
Ps I'm 6'3 and 150kg, D
