Bragging #2... Hit 150 lbs DB presses today!!!

**vettewreck** · 12-20-2010, 12:47 PM

Last week I was happy I hit 130lbs DB presses for 10 on 4th set. This week I did this:

120s for 12 reps
130s for 10 reps
140s for 9 reps
150s for 7 reps

Im so fkn happy!!! 150s on DB presses for 7 on 4th set!!!! **NOT 1ST, 2ND, OR 3RD SET... 4TH SET FVCKERS!!!!** Not too shabby!!! Thats as high as my gym goes though. Guess Ill have to just start a bit heavier. Maybe start at 125s next week.

I use 160lb DB's.

**Knockout_Power** · 12-20-2010, 12:55 PM

I guess thats good, but when I was your age, I was doing 160's as warmups for 48 reps... and I was at 6%bf

**D3m3nt3d** · 12-20-2010, 12:57 PM

Nice lift brotha. I hit them for 5 reps today. But I've been off the sauce for two months now....Prop/NPP starts in a month so hopefully I can catch up to you...But when I was YOUR age...

**vettewreck** · 12-20-2010, 01:11 PM

You guys are KILLING my thread!!

But seriously thanks guys.

**bruary17** · 12-20-2010, 01:18 PM

Sick weight dude. Very impressive. But can you do a cock push up?

**Twist** · 12-20-2010, 02:45 PM

Some guy at my gym yesterday was doing db shoulder press and worked from 75 all the way up to 105 in 5 lb increments and then repped 105 for 8.. Wtf. Thats something you would do. I can't do 150 for 7 but I sure wish I could.

**MuscleScience** · 12-20-2010, 03:58 PM

Thats sick bro, and very motivating too!

**jbm** · 12-20-2010, 05:16 PM

**D3m3nt3d** · 12-21-2010, 03:41 AM

I go to the Y, and they stop at the 100lb dumbbells. I havent used a bar since shoulder surgery in like 2001

**gbrice75** · 12-21-2010, 08:24 AM

So what you're telling me is...you take a barbell, not a damn lock bar or anything, with 285lbs, and you shoulder press that shit?

**baseline_9** · 12-21-2010, 09:29 AM

Its time you move gym then bro...

If ur ever in Birmingham England let me know, our gym goes up to 220

We can see what u really got!

**layeazy** · 12-21-2010, 11:01 AM

18's are some decent size they look to be in proportion in your avatar what about your legs though u train them? are they in proportion thats good mass for 6 foot though

**gbrice75** · 12-21-2010, 11:44 AM
