Get these:

You could get them for $150.
Can use for squats and other pressing movements too.

This sounds odd. What kind of weight are you doing on your overhead presses? I generally like to get weight in position manually, and the weight that I can get up usually corresponds to the weight that I can press (overhead dumbbell's).

I could Have got 60kg but couldnt get it to the starting position. Im talking about standing military press.

 

[snookmz]

how do you know you can press it if you can't get in position?

 

[kindred]

55kg feels light (not really but it feels like i can do heavier)

i cant understand your engrish in the thread title

55kkg - 60kg

I have to agree there is a huge difference, which is why I struggle wif it so much. but from an already standing position it shouldnt take long for me to break through.
How ever if your picking it up from the ground then its a shit load more then just a Military press, in fact its not at all. Its a Clean and jerk until you get it in the air and then your asking your shoulders to press it after yourve spent a considerable amount of energy just getting it in the air.
If you are not trying to perfect the movement of Clean and Jerk then I would probably not bother at all, cos your just gonna do yourself a mischief.
Stick to a DB style standing press until you can get some type of stands to preform proper Military's, you'll get just as much out of that if not more.
Or
You could try going up in smaller increments if thats possible for you, like 1.1/4kg plates.

Those thing Hulk posted looked cool but I dont really want to spend any money at the moment... damn you financial crisis

Seriously tho If i had the cash thats exactly what id get. I guess my only other option is to learn the power clean.

If you're going to spend some money, buy a power rack. With an olympic bar and some dumbbells it'll cover everything except for leg extensions.

I have everything i need accept a shed with a higher roof...

 

[The Hulk]

Kindred, you doing these outside you say?
You got a tree?
Does it have branches?
Tie a couple of loops of rope from a branch and slide your bar into the loops.
Then load your plates on.

Now you can do overhead press from starting position.

Your full of really goods suggestions lately Hulk, thanks.

Unfortunately I dont have any trees at my house Im sure Ill be ok with cleaning it up there.

Bolt a couple of angle brackets onto the wall of your house at shoulder height.
You can then do squats and overhead press.


Or just do the easy thing and clean the weight to your shoulders !!!!!!!!
