good military press?

[BTM0085]

ok dudes, i was just wondering what is considered a good military press, all this talk i hear about benching, never anything about the military press. which I think is just a good a sign of strength/power as the bench. When I do military press I sit down on my bench and just grip it from there sitting down, I can do 155 about 15 times on my first set depending on the lift off , I thought that was pretty good til my friend whos 5'5(really built) but never works out repped out about 6? so whats the standard for seated military press...im 6'4 205 can bench 315

I don't do seated military anymore, I do Clean & Press now... but back when I did, the most I repped with on my first set was 155 7 times... I'm 5'10" 175 lbs. btw...

If he's 5'5" he's prob got stubby little arms and is moving the bar a shorter distance. At 6'4" any press is gonna be harder for you bc I'd imagine you have longer arms, therefore have to move the bar a greater distance. Try doing heavier weight fewer reps next time and see where your at. Im guessing if you hit 155 15x, you could prob throw on 185 and be pretty comfortable with it. I'm 5'10" 175lb and I can only do 155 prob 6 times or so. That being said, I've seen some freaks go in and bust out about 6-8 at 225lb, so all depends on how you look at it.

Thats fine for your height because your buddy has smaller arms.
Id go a bit heavier than 155 x15. BTW im 5'10 195 and il work up to 225 x6.

I get 225lbs 8-10 depeding on how I feel. I maxed out once at 280 for 2.
