Any month now for me, getting closer and closer. Body weight of 190 and pressed 185 a few months ago, haven't attempted a 1RM for a few months. I suspect next time I do I'll nail it. Won't be this week as I'm still fighting this annoying, damn cold...

I've managed 237.5 standing press at 221. Following the demise of my elbow, though, I'm currently miles off that.

I have done a seated press of 215 @ 215, but I've haven't tried a max weight standing press in a while.
