Both are covering the same ground only one is done shirtless and the other done in a constant state of injury. Most of the training these days in this fitness log is plain boring.

rubadub wrote: » Standing, I don't think I could manage it seated at all. My shoulders would usually not be level, sometimes it looks more like kettlebell pressing where you might see a guy tilting to one side. I find I can lift a lot more than half of what I could do with a military press (i.e. I use maybe 27kg dumbbell and no way I would do the same reps with 54kg on a barbell). This could be partly since I feel safer, if I did go to failure with the single dumbbell I can use the other arm to assist. I also usually use a fat gripz on the dumbbell handle and find I lift more, its more comfortable on the palm. I am also probably using momentum a bit more, like a sort of push press. I sometimes use a gripper or empty fat gripz in my free hand and find tensioning it helps the working arm.

And just like last time, it will take at least the same again to travel the 8 miles from the depot to my address. Gotta love the Irish way.
Will be stickified if public demand calls for it!!!
