My next big goal is to overhead press 225 lbs. Some folks consider that more impressive.

If you are lean, it will be easier to gain extra muscle mass by carrying a little extra fat and water. Think about the physique of a power lifter.I currently weigh 175. My 1RM right now is about 205. I’ve always wanted to rep 225 like the bigger dudes, so that’s my short term goal.
If you can put 225 over your head without bouncing or bumping...… that's stout.
At Christmas I put 195 lbs over head and I felt like my head would explode. I have a video on my phone I will upload tonight.
This guy presses 350 lbs overhead and it's amazing.
I’m 215-220 the most I have benched was 250 but that was all the weights I had. I been out of lifting for two years but this thread has been one of the many profs that I needed to get back at.
Who has been pinned LOL not that type pin but went one to many times with out a spotter.
I have been like this twice the first time I dumped the weight of one side no problem the second time I tried dumping the weight but my kids had crap all in the way so I had to slow roll the bar down my chest and onto my thighs so I could sit up and get it off me. Ok it was dum not to check for clearance but it hasn’t happened again
You figure what’s the worst that could happen when you’re doing more than you should.
Yep, that is where I am at (49 and not worrying about heavy weight any more). But I have a torn rotator cuff and labrum in that shoulder, so that dictates the weight more than old age lol
I have switched to more of a workload capacity workout. Lighter weights, higher reps and HIIT/circuits than strength training. Recovery is a lot easier on my old bones/joints/muscles/cns
Did u really mean to say ur total (S/B/D) total is 3000-4000#'s? If so u need to go to a meet and get a record total!View attachment 121165 My nephew can do this . I don't know if it's good or not but he's a strong little F'er. I don't know what my "powerlift" total is but I'm guessing 3-4 thousand lbs at 260.

I do more lighter weigh and high rep exercises now to save my joints.

I maxed out here and didn't do any permanent damage.I’ve done 3 sets of 10 with 180 a few times on military press (overhead press). Never wanted to try and find a max on it. Visions of blown out shoulders make me scared.
Injury prevention is closely related to managing total fatigue more than just avoiding lifting heavy weights.
A much bigger part is not psyching yourself into hurting because you think you have poor technique. People lift every day with "bad technique" and they're fine because humans are adaptable.Part of the equation is knowing techniques and knowing if you have any structural instability.

So my total is:
B 350#
S 525#
D 560#
Total 1435#....@320# BW...so I have a shitty ratio compared to many people
Grip/hand issues....if I use straps it's 615#.....How come the Dead Lift weight is only 35 pounds? For most people it's a bigger difference.
I urge you to read this with an open mind.I dunno, man. Bad technique leads to a LOT of injury (we see a lot of victims where I work). But thanks to compensatory muscles and movement, absolutely a lot of bad technique can be overcome.
Understand now! .........and for the record, thats way more than I can do!Grip/hand issues....if I use straps it's 615#.....
I've been pretty much training consistent for the last 6-7 years and trying to reach goals I've set for myselfUnderstand now! .........and for the record, thats way more than I can do!
