I hit 255 for a fairly easy 3 last week. I am doing an OHP competition on another website, and the heavyweights are 245 and up so I have a decided advantage, weight wise. You have to submit by the end of March, so I’m gonna go for 300 then. Should be right at 285 or so right now, based on projected max.
Been struggling with a lot of my lifts lately since my back is still jacked up, so I’ve fallen a bit behind my goal timeline, but 315 should be doable this year I’m hoping if things keep going decently.

strong. just curious, how tall are you? you seem to have LONG arms, which makes that lift even more impressive.

not sure if this is as strict as allowed on this thread, but here is a pre surgery 110kgx3 with some leg drive,

since surgery in late November, i have slowly been regaining my pressing strength, but i have been using the Swiss bar exclusively . i hit an easy 95kgx3 just last week, with no leg drive.
as i continue to heal, i really don’t see a problem with me getting to near 300lbs with this bar in the future.
question, will my lift count in this thread if done with a Swiss bar?[/quote]
That’s some good liftin’ HT!
Personally, I would like to see a little less leg drive (hip swinging is ok), but mostly with knees locked out or immobile. But for this thread, as long as you are not Oly Lifting, its ok.
Swiss bars are fine.
245 from about 6 or 7 weeks ago…
Got 260 for a 5lb PR last week at 230 BW.
Hit a 275 the other day. Was feeling like shit all week–I think I have a virus, but was able to struggle through it for a new PR. All my warmup and working weights felt like poop, so hopefully 275 is not all that’s there right now and I was just having a bad day. Regardless, I’ll take it.
Matty,
You get 10 extra lbs for lifting with that music playing in the background, I would drop the weight on my head just to not hear it anymore.
VTBalla,
Who puts a power rack in the library? +10 lbs for being the only noise in the building.
I was going to join this thread but I can only stand being embarrassed on one thread at a time. Great work in here everybody.
haha check out my other videos…there is usually One Direction or Kelly Clarkson playing…they bump it though!
Brian I love that song I requested it!
Awesome lift VT!
hit 260.5 (yes im counting the .5 haha) for a single today, 3.5lb PR
I’ll eventually go through this thread and update the first page with everyone’s current lifts and standings…EVENTUALLY
hit 250 today
Good pressing, VT and Matty. Incidentally, I’m competing in the same event on that other site. I’ve done 245 and think I have more in me, though I don’t really train this lift.
Wanted to bump the thread. I have recently fallen for OHP, but am no where near these numbers. One of my goals is to hit 315 in the next 5 years.
Oh man, I’m definitely in on this. Already subbed myself on the http://tnation.T-Nation.com/hub/jessiethedude#myForums/thread/5293605/ Klokov Press thread, but this is of some real interest to me.
Next week I’ll give 275 a shot on my shoulder day.

solid. i want the mass you have on your upper triceps.
You guys are gods amongst men!
Thanks HT…its all about the kickbacks
I hit 264 this week pretty comfortably, I think I’ll be close to 275 next week. Also nearly strict pressed a 297 log the day after which is a good sign
Hit 275, here it is. It is a PR but hope to beat it very soon. (238 bw)
