Also, have to concede that seated DB presses are easier - in terms of weight - than standing barbell presses. Can't understand it, but there it is. I'd assumed that's down to not having to get your core doing stabilising work. A better comparison would be seated vs seated or standing vs standing. I suspect standing DB press, heavy, would be A Proper Tart to do.

Look at Adam - easily reps the 50s sitting down but was doing 5 with the 30s standing last I know of. You need a jaw drop smiley! That is ridiculous. I think doing 50s seated is phenomenal but only managing 30s standing just seems crazy. I'll have to try a set standing and see what it's like.

If he worked them with the same focus he used to get to 50kg seated I wouldnt mind betting he'd be up around 40kg a hand pretty sharpish.
