What's that? I tried to look it up, but all I'm getting is info on early morning workouts.

Pretty sure you'll be able to lift heavier than this,if you hittin 135 barbell press for reps,keep us updated tho

Well, you were right. I had no problem with the 60s, even after doing five sets of barbell incline bench. 65s were fine also. I was able to muster a few reps with the 70s, but that's it. I was super-setting them with upright rows and face pulls with the rope/cable station.

If I designated a day to shoulders (instead of just doing an upper body day twice a week), or just did the dumbbell press after flat bench, I think I'd have an easier time.

At my peak the most I tried was 100s for reps...most I did recently was 75s.

my left shoulder was giving me pain so trimmed the weight and upped the reps

right now im at 20x8(warm up) 30x8, 35x8, 40x8, 40x8, 45x6, 50x4

my shoulders are probably the biggest theyve ever been but im a smaller framed guy

I've seen a guy repping 100's before at a non-powerhouse gym

He was a strong fat dude though....young....looked like a football player

I believe the guys saying they are putting them up, it aint easy but can definitely be done. I'm usually the quick to call in these threads but not in this one

Without a compression sleeve or straps I can do 65x8
With them I can do 75x5-6
(both seated)
In both cases I gotta do em early on or on a day where I'm not doing circuits or else I run the risk of hyper-extending my back

Any dude that can hit 80+lbs for reps is strong to me

EDIT: Ok I'll admit I always have somebody close by when I'm doing the 75lbs

I agree,the only thing is you don't go into the gym and just see a bunch of cats dumbbell pressing the 100's I've only seen it every blue moon, twice in my life to be exact,it's possible for sure,just not common

Its not often but if that's what you into its quite easy. I see a few cats doing that at my gym but most of them are powerlifters or actual bodybuilders.
