My idea was no clean needed.But no leg drive and no standing incline press.But ill let every one else fight over the rules.
I vote the weight should be cleaned. Knees locked and no layback. Video proof, of course.
Funny faces optional.
Skip,I’ve only pressed 245.Got 225x4 recently.Don’t know what I could push press.

Jack Daniels you say!? Sounds like a great party!
Oh great! Just put the bullseye right square in the middle of my back, why don’t you!
I think you’re playing possum! When you push up 275#, next month, we’ll all know it’s true.
Harry - This whole thing started with bulldog and I agreeing to “race” to 300#. (Military Press, not body weight) It kind of snowballed from there. I think the rules that he and I are adhering to are…
- No leg drive (military press, not push press)
- No excessive lean (you can lean to clear your face and all, but no standing incline press)
- No clean necessary. The current condition of my back wouldn’t allow it anyway.
- Staggered foot placement is allowed, if desired.
- Video proof, as Tony pointed out.
- Dipping is allowed, but only Copenhagen, Skoal, Kodiak, Red River or Longhorn.
I’ll bring the funny faces.
Steve - Hell! If your MP is, at the least, 245# (I bet it is higher), you should jump in the race to 300#.

If you pay 1500 sponsorship fee to the OHP federation, we will allow that brand in.

Actually, I don’t know if there is a “Red River”. All I could remember is there is one that starts with “Red”. Must be the flavor you posted. Is there a Silver Creek? Maybe I got Red and Creek in my head and it morphed into Red River.
Rule 6 is officially changed.
Redman Bigleaf Chew. One of my personal favorites.
Edit: It also comes in “plug.” Another one of my personal favorites.

Time was when only grannies sat around “dippin”. Garrett snuff an a coffee can on the front porch. Like me some Beech-Nut Wintergreen (when the wife’s not around)
Rule 6 should be amended for cigars.
I can’t lift with Copenhagen so I don’t have a problem with it otherwise.
Rule 7: No bodyweight whin’in.
Rule 8: Elbow sleeves are OK as long as they don’t leave bruises.
Oh yeah…
Rule 9: No lift’in in thongs cause the lift gotta be video taped.

Okay, okay. Rule #6: The use of any tobacco product, alcoholic beverage or any other, non-performance enhancing, vice is permitted.
Good enough? lol
Rules 7 and 8 sound good as well.
Also, no mechanical assistance. No tag team (spotter with hands on the bar or elbows) pressing. And absolutely no use of nanotechnology to increase muscular output.
Use of Gamma radiation for enhancement permitted, as long as a) you survive the application and b) it is accompanied by green skin…for confirmation.

Da comrade, I tink ve have dem rite ver ve vant dem. Bolshoy boys vill not sense vat hits dem.
You have Burgaking geft tickets da?
Bummer, no leg drive. LOL! I guess I will have to change my tactics.
Never really tried to max this exercise, but if the 5/3/1 calculation is close, mine is 205. (140x14)
So 250 is probably a tad unattainable for the immediate future, but not saying I won’t try. >:-)
300…it’d be sad if I got my standing press higher than my laying down one. haha

Ah…but group two has decided to make 225# the goal, instead of 250#.
I am willing to bet that a new goal will be set as soon as someone hits 225#.
For that matter, I bet that 315# will be the new goal, as soon as someone hits 300#.
Question…
Are we supposed to post our MP workouts here? Or only when we move our max?
