Pick up your Lift Heavy, Be Kind merch!

My 2 year old daughter(while watching over my shoulder) just informed me that you are a big kid. She was very adamant of that. “He’s a big kid” she said. My 5 year old son corrected her and told her you were in fact a grown-up. They’re now arguing whether or not you’re a big kid or a grown up and now I can’t hear you explain the keys to a good OHP. So thanks for not being clear at the beginning on if you are a big kid or a grown up.

+/-50% of bodyweight OHP is perfectly reasonable answer

That woman really thinks the AVERAGE man should be able to OHP 80kg. When the average man cant even bench 60kg.

Semicolons are meant to combine two related but individually complete sentences without the need of a conjuction. So instead of, "I pressed the weight, and it was heavy," you could simply say, "I pressed the weight; it was heavy." As a writer myself, they're nice for sentence structure variety, but certainly not necessary in most instances of casual writing.

I am 39, body weight 90kgs, best strict press 87,5kg (193lbs). Done body weight in the past when weighing 80 and 85kgs. Going for 90kgs (198lbs) in a few weeks. Lifetime goal of 100kg (220,4 lbs).

Edit: I did 90kgs last week at 89,5kg body weight.

Honestly, I think everybody is overestimating the physical capacities of the "average man". There's a huge difference between a gym goer and the rest. I'd say that 40kg from a random man on the street is way too high. 25/30kg sounds more realistic to me.

2:57 I'd like to see her actually ohp 180lbs, that would actually be damn impressive for a woman her size😅
As regarding what the average man "should" be able to press, I think 30-40kg  (65-90lbs) is more than enough for the average Joe. I mean, when are you going to put more than that overhead in your day to day life?

Half bodyweight is the best answer hands down

I'm 52, 265lbs bodyweight... two years back from a multiyear break.  My current strict press is 135lbs

1 plate for a few reps is an excellent ohp goal.

from my experience in the gym so far, average seems to be 30-40kg for four or five reps. overhead press is very much ignored by most. whenever i overhead press 80kg or higher i notice that people tend to move away from the station i'm at, seems like people are quite afraid of them going wrong and so they avoid them.

I just hit a 180 pound overhead press today (at 205 bodyweight)…it’s a PR for me but my goal is to hit 200 plus pounds sometime next year. 🏋️‍♀️

Working to 300# at 215 bodyweight. Much help from Mitch to get to this point

Gymgoers often seem to think the average person goes to the gym.

I'm a beginner weight lifter. I'm 38, 160lbs at 5'11. Quite lean. I could probably ohp 110-120lbs. On the other hand, I just dead lifted 190lbs x8 today. Which I'm proud of.

Any man that works up to a strict Oh press of 135x8-12 is doing pretty good imo

Honestly I've had to work pretty hard for a 75% bodyweight press.

I'd guess the average man would be topped out at 40kg

An Old Iron Man Magazine re-printed an Old article of realistic, attainable yet worthwhile goals for the Intermediate/Low advanced Natural Lifter. Agree or disagree. As best as I can remember, here they are....1---Be able to Bench and Row your Bodyweight for 10 Reps. 2---Overhead Press 60--70% of Bodyweight x 8  3---Barbell Curl  50--60% for 8 reps. 4---Squat 150% your Bodyweight for 10 Reps. 50% of your weight for 100 Reps!!! (pauses allowed) 5---Deadlift 175--200% of your Bodyweight for 6 Reps...6---Be able to Perform at least 10 clean Reps of Chins and dips with Bodyweight Only....7----Be able to Run/Jog 1 Mile without stopping.....Good luck.
