here are plates down to 1lb/ea (allowing you to make 2lb jumps or unbalanced 1lb jumps)

if you search around online, you can find .5lb plates and 1.25lb plates. they're quite useful for both overhead and bench press. |

Date: July 19th, 2012 9:54 AM Why do you need a spotter for OHP? Just fucking move out of the way if it falls, it's almost impossible to drop OHP on your head and chances are you'll just be at 90% ability to complete one more rep, so just catch it at your shoulders in rack position |

when you can db press 80x8 you should be able to easily shoulder press 145 |

Date: July 19th, 2012 9:50 AM Do tons of supplemental dips with weight hanging from ya nutz also do some push presses with OHP negatives as the second half |

Do behind neck push presses or Klokov presses (google it) Do strict form military presses (feet together) because they force you into proper form.
I belt up even for 115lb shoulder presses, personally. Helps keep the abs and back in check.

1. the amount of weight doesn't dictate how big/wide your shoulders are. Instead, worry about form and exhaustion. Do a lot of reps at a weight you can do correctly until exhaustion.
2. It's all about nutrition, brah. Make sure you're maximizing your protein intake every 2.5-3 hours
