I was really intimidated by the push-press combo too. I tried it with a 30lb barbell and found it pretty easy so I tried with a 40lb barbell, and surprised myself greatly that I could do it! And with relative ease, so next time I'm definitely going for the big bar. And I was only doing 15s and 20s for the shoulder presses in stage1, so I was pleasently surprised... you might be too :-)
