So far I have not recorded any personal best to date for my max 1 rep Shoulder Press or also called the Strict Press, I have recorder a personal max best for Push Press but there is some leg involvement with Push Press that gives you some extra momentum which makes the Push Press much easier to lift heavier weight than a Strict Press or Shoulder Press.

Anyways, today I just barely pushed out one rep of Strict Shoulder Press at 175 pounds, this was after working up using a 3-2-1-1-1 approach to get to my 1 rep max. I figured it was a good weight since my body weight is only at 180 right now, think I will set my new goal to be at 200 pounds for 1 rep :)

Here is a great PDF link on the Press!
