I have quit doing them as well ( although I never got to where you have) doc said knock that shit off or he would hurt me ...LOL my doc lifts as well.

I am starting to work back towards benching 365 3x6 which at the time was 135 more than I wieghed.

BTW nice work on the mil presses.

It's just not worth it anymore at my stage of lifting now.

Wow! how the hell did you get them up to where you could press them? Once i get to 90lbs i cant get them to my shoulders. I do them standing and i have tried all kinds of goofy ways to get the DB's up so i can press them. but by the time i get them in place i am to tired to rep it out. lol

I just sit down with them on my knees and then kick them up one at a time.

I'm over 6'2" so I think having long legs helps me to be able to leverage them up to my shoulders.

Awesome DB row.

I wish my gym had more DBs that went past 130lbs. My old gym back in the day had DBs that went up to 205lbs.

you ever consider dumbell hooks? They might be a good investment for such a situation.

205, wow! I may be wrong here, but I believe BigZeke's gym goes to 100s and he uses 2 dumbbells at once... in this case the 100lb db with a 50lb db placed on top of it at a perpendicular angle so that the handles are crossing. Is this still the case, Zeke?
