    Not sure what exactly your asking but...My gym only goes to the 120's. As far as what my heaviest press that would be the 110's used on flat press. I am actually stronger on DB Incline, that is, if I used a certain weight for flat I could do more reps with the same weight on incline. The thing is I havent gone as heavy on DB Incline as I have on Flat Incline. As far as overhead presses, I may go up to the 70-80's at the most and I never tried DB Decline...

    150's on the flat bench for a set. I prefer barbells for flat bench and incline for dumbells though.

    i've never really tried to max it out with dumbbells but i typically pyramid my presses with dumbells

    flat
    12x75
    10x90
    8x105
    6x105

    incline i use 100's instead of 105's

    i couldn't imagine 130 shoulder presses, respect

    Yes, it always seems like the first one is almost to difficult. Once you get it up though, its much easier to press....kinda weird.....

    bdtr 150's, man that's freaky, I would have to deadlift them just to get those off the floor or rack. My best on incline-110's(11 reps)...flat 120's(8 reps). 120's all we got at our gym.

    I have done 160's for 6 flat dumbell and I can shoulder press the 120's for 5 - just yesterday actually. I find the 120's harder to balance than actually push. The 110's seem so much lighter. That is at a weight of 256 currently. Down about 10 lbs last 3 weeks.

    Been in some ball tourneys and I'm drinking instead of eating, so it can go very fast...

    A guy 5'6, 240 in our gym has shoulder pressed the 160's for 6.
    He routinely benches 4 plates for 10 on the bench, but havn't seen him do dumbell...
