I do them most every week, but you are on your own, mine are embarrassing by comparison. Nice job though, impressive lifts.

You can still try to embarrass me.
Or
Pick up.something other than a barbell and stand on your own.

Dude, your lifts are yours and mine are mine. No need to be embarrased one way or the other. We are all at different points, and I did not take this thread to be an invitation to a pissing contest, just a general challenge to showcase overhead work, regardless of weight, ability, or object being moved. Beside, the more that post, the better.
This is Tex Ag’s thread, but what I am trying to get at here is that I don’t think it should be one where a weight of X or more is required to post or to talk shop. I’ve never really liked the elitist mind set anyway, as there is always someone better.

Good point. I would like to see people pick up odd and heavy (relatively of course) stuff and lift it over their head. If I get the chance I will try a school bus tire in my garage. Not sure if it will happen, or even if my arms a long enough to actually press it, but I will give it a try and post it if I succeed or look really funny trying.
my best so far
^Nice effort.
Just to be clear in America the floor is that bit under your shoes. No biggie and all since you’re English, I can see where the confusion could occur.
Insert smiling emoticon here.

i’d be in but i have no interest in “reverse curling” the weight to the standing position. I do my standing presses out of the rack.

Post them, I would like to see them.
here’s a few-
280x7
345x1
300x3
for shits and giggles - 225x30
one arm dumbell push press- 140x8
something a bit different- seated Arnold dumbell presses 140’s x 7
So from this I bet you could one arm push me for a rep or so. And other people think they will be embarrassed.
Impressive man, impressive.
Nothing spectacular
225x4 log press strict
233x1 strict press with axle
275x1 log press
http://www.youtube.com/my_videos?feature=mhee
at around 200lbs
Alright, not much of a “press” here, more of a full-blown jerk, but at least it comes off the floor.
165kg (about 363 pounds) at a bodyweight of about 105.4kg (about 232).
And please ignore the shitty music in the background, I actually had no clue what was playing on the radio until I played this on my laptop at home. You know, mental focus and all.
And yes, I’m too lazy to edit the video down for length.

Cannot see the log presses but love the variety anyway. Nice axle press.
Alright, it is Polo, Edgy and SSC’s turn to make me feel small and weak. Testy, there is room in here for you as well.
maraudermeat, how much do you weigh?
very very awsome lifts to all that posted…

I was wondering when you would post in this thread. Breaking out the old vids for it too. Awesome lifting as always.
question for you:
What do you think the benefits are of doing a seated Arnold press versus a regular seated DB press? I don’t think I’ve ever tried this variant and am a bit curious.
Kalle, I am jealous of your implements. Nice pressing.
TheJonty, Thats one monster C&J, very impressive. I think your gym and mine could hold a conference on what music should not be played in a gym.
MM, I noticed that you have varying hand positions for your OH presses. Lighter work you have a wider grip and heavier you have a narrower grip. Any specific reason/benefit you have for doing this? Shoulder health maybe, or do you get better pressing power out of a narrower grip?

I was excited.at my gym because they finally played some Gn’R but then followed up with two estrogen producing Rush songs. That ain’t right to do a man like that.
