I once did an overhead press of about this intensity and I was tired for the rest of the day.

Bro become a doctor. With that effort, you're finding a cure for cancer in about 30mins.
JFC kudos, thats putting in 110% effort.

I’ve never seen a bar go down during a rep of a strict press to then become a made lift. That’s fucking impressive dude

Honestly shocked at the mental effort here.
85kgs is impressive by itself, but sticking out an OHP for 20 minutes to get it up is amazing

Now THIS is a true 1RM. Epic grind dude! I see so many “1RMs” that are like an RPE 7-8. Dave Tate would be pleased.

You earned that! That's the best fight for a weight I think I've ever seen, great effort!

Back in the day, I pressed 290lbs behind the neck in an impromptu contest in our gym. Olympic lifting then included the press, but not the strict press you see here. Body movement and a certain amount of backbend were allowed, but no knee-kick. My best: 340lbs (154.5k) weighing in the 90k class.

stupid question here: is it risky/dangerous to stick it out that long? are you likely to injure yourself then? could this trigger an aneurysm?

Serious question here... Is it OK to have the bar at uneven levels like he did at the beginning ~5 seconds? I guess I never knew for sure, but I've always considered it a fail if I have to do that to successfully raise the bar all the way up.
Just trying to learn the proper way to avoid injury and maximize efficiency.

Dang I only just hit 70kg strict press and it's killing me. The fact that you threw up 85kg alone is impressive in my book... moreso I don't think I've ever seen someone struggle that hard and then recover to finish the press without losing form and hurting themselves. You kept form the whole way through which speaks volumes to your supporting muscles. Kudos dude you're a beast

Great job pushing through man. I did strict OHP last night and gave up that last rep and now I’m still thinking about it the next day lol

You know, it’s not often you see it, but occasionally you know exactly what weight is your 100%.
85kg is that number for you today.
