Just to be sure, are you saying that you can do 4 45lb plates PER side (8 plates total) plus a 45 pound bar on this exercise?

^yes, admittedly on a smith cause there's no way to spot. smith in my gym is 25 lbs on it's own. so i guess in actuality it is 385. ordinarily will pyramid from 15 x 225, 12 x 275, 10 x 315, 8 x 335, 6 x 360 and 3-4 x 385.

fwiw, there are 4 other guys in my gym who can do it, all i guess are shorter or fatter but this just doesn;t seem so insane to me as i saw a 775 rack pull last night which made my lower back cry.

I've never seen military press on a smith. Is that even possible?

Smith is no where near 385lbs with plate weight. Stabilization is completely negated. Do a max bench/squat and see how much more you can do on the smith. But I still don't believe you can pump out a single rep of 8 plate military press, ***** machine or not. But prove me wrong homie, prove me wrong. In fact, i'll settle for a 305 OHP.

kunk,

sorry to suggest this - but could the level of excersize and the various suppliments have anything to do with the feeling of frustrations that you have been having latly?

i wish globe, i think it's just mostly that business is ******, as it is for most people i've spoken to. nearly all my irl friends are entrepreneurs and we are all in very similar boats with similar feelings right now.

My good friend. Twice your size, strongman, trained for years. 265lbs...couldn't dream of such an OHP and would probably struggle with 465x7. I'm around guys 3x your size all day and they don't push out 400 pound military presses. That's pretty much why I think you're lying. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqx1s...eature=related and just for giggles: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PzNKo...eature=related I'll stop arguing about it though... just lemme know when you have your promised vids up and i'll apologize for sure.
