On the first of the month, I shared some examples of ‘heavy pressing,

I wrote this to answer the question ‘how heavy is a heavy press?’

I also wanted to give people an idea of what the human body is capable of…

Well, it looks like I may have overdone it. Some are having a hard time swallowing ‘the facts

Some of my examples included Tommy Kono, Paul Anderson and Doug Hepburn. I ended up getting some responses from people that I expected…

They went something like this…

‘Kono, Anderson and Hepburn might be able to press an elephant overhead, but they were genetic freaks!’

Maybe…

I do know that I can’t stand that ‘genetics’ card.’ I believe that so called ‘average genetics’ are capable of a lot more than most realize…

And I’m not some solo crackpot who believes this…

If you doubt your ability to lock out an obscene amount of weight overhead, you need to hear what Keith Wassung has to say…

Here’s what he had to say, directly from his voice box to your ears, (well, I guess its eyeball’s in this instance.)

‘I believe that if you can bench press 225lbs, then you have the capacity to eventually perform an overhead press with 300lbs. This may take you a year or it may take five years, but the effort will be worth it.

Damn, those be fightin’ words…

He’s essentially saying that the vast majority of people can build up the ability to press 300 overhead.

How can I say vast majority? Because I can’t think of any guys who are half serious about their training; and have spent a few years in the gym that can’t bench 2 plates…not a single guy…

And I say their fightin’ words because Keith’s slapping the gauntlet down…

He’s essentially saying that a 225 pound bencher has no reason for not eventually pressing, or at least come very close to pressing, 300 pounds overhead…

And just in case anyone’s confused, a 300 lbs standing press is a BIG lift. And if you can bench 225 lbs, it can be yours…

Now, being that this is the beginning of the week, I hope that this fires you up and leads to some new PR’s…

Get out there and get it…
