I was just planning to check my 5x5 on this exercise ... but got thrown off by a busy gym, and did pull ups and dips first today. I'll try next time i hit upper body (3-4 days).

I can finally do 135 for sets of 5 on barbell shoulder press. took me some time to gain the confidence to do it without a spotter (I don't like using spotters, because I'm not really interested in talking to people when I go to the gym).

So I'll do 60s to see how many reps I can manage, then maybe try 65s.

Tough to say whats really good. I don't like low reps (5 or less) for this exercise simply because it then becomes too hard to get the weight in place

I think 60's X 8 is pretty good

I think 90's X 8 is pretty damn strong

I'm talking full extension, no cheater reps

My memberships expired and I only have dumbbells that go up to 40 so I mainly use the barbell, but I could probably do 55s maybe 60s. dbs just too hard on my small wrists for shoulder press, I prefer barbells. I dont get too caught up on the weight I'm pushing though, Id powerlift if weight was my thing
