    when I do them, just usually standing barbell or dumbbell press.

    No real reason, I just do it. Part of my reason would be, it is easier to find space to stand, than a seat to sit at when I'm doing my presses.

    THey each have pros and cons.

    I prefer standing Military press to the seated version, i feel that if im falling short of completing a set, i like to cheat it up whilst standing.

    But then on the contrary i prefer seated DB press to standing ..wierd.

    Seated DB Presses and Arnold Presses.

    Don't really like the isolation stuff I find my shoulders don't respond to light weights. So Presses and upright rows for me.

    I like doing standing military press... just feels manly haha... strict form <3 it.. however I find it hits my lower back alot... =\

    I also like doing seated DB shoulder press. Love it. One of my favourite lifts. Just feel it much more in my delts with a less chance to cheat.
