I haven't really heard of anyone taking seated OHP seriously, but if I'm not training competitively it doesn't seem like it'll be too much of an issue. Anyway, thanks for all the compliments and suggestions =) | ||

I didn't mean that you couldn't get heavy presses in, but that was actually what I was kind of getting at: You lose a lot of stabilization that comes with standing while pressing. Not that you necessarily can press way bigger amounts, just that standing has obvious benefits compared to being seated. But honestly at the end of the day as long as I'm lifting, the little stuff doesn't really matter, does it? | ||

But honestly at the end of the day as long as I'm lifting, the little stuff doesn't really matter, does it? If you're seated on the floor, or on a bench with no back, it's not so much about losing the need to stabilize - you just lose the glutes as a group of muscles that are capable of stabilizing. Your spinal erectors, abs, lats, traps, and minor shoulder muscles are still going to get a hell of a workout. There's also things like the sotts press that are situationally useful. If you're just lacking a couple inches of lockout space, which it sounds like you are, think about doing some standing presses with a snatch grip. | ||

On the one hand, I think it looks pretty good, that's what space marines ought to look like without their armor. Manly men. I mean, right? On the other hand, prancing around on stage posing and flexing make them look like vain sissies. The panties don't help. On the one hand, I'd love for everyone to aspire to look like that, it's a body that exhumes the ideals of self-disciplin and hard work. On the other hand, that's just an insecure man-child who's percieved inadequacies caused him to shove dangerous amounts of steroids into his own ass. It's tricky. | ||

Here's a side by side. | ||

remember you wont need to put massive tall weights on it (you can load multiple smaller 5kg weights) . or try it outside 1 time and realise its not so bad doing it that way | ||

Do people outside of bodybuilding actually aspire to look like that? The most common opinion I hear of them is that they look freakish. Don't get me wrong, the amount of work they put in is certainly admirible but I'd much rather have the body of a gymnast than a bodybuilder. | ||

If you get too big you stop being good looking and become a druggie. If it weren't for the fact that we know that you can't get that big without needles I think people would be alot more accepting towards bodybuilders. acquiantaces ask me if I juice regularly, I take it as the ultimate compliment (they ask nicely or subtly "do you take anything other than protein shakes?") | ||

People inside of bodybuilding don't want to look like that LOL. I feel like modern bodybuilding since Ronnie Coleman has simply been chemical warfare and genetics. Theres even like a rumor that phil heath has a mild form of that disease you see on super muscular dogs and bulls where myostatin is inhibited. | ||

Squat : 135 > 175 Deadlift 95> 165 Bench 95 > 115 OHP 45 > 65. Still can't finished a solid 5 rep on my last set. My problem is when I try to go to 180, I can't seems to finish my last set. Should I be deloading the weight by 10%-15%? Been eating a lot better, solid 7-8 sleep and lost few inches on the body but gain inches in other area. Should I deload or go n and beast 180? Edit: 5 weeks into ss | ||

Sure the person making the comment might not know how roids work but basically what they do is allow you to work harder more often. | ||
