Nice music

[DETECHNO22]

Standed Military Press best!

[strangeclouds]

315 looks way more impressive with those big rubber plates!

Flat/Incline Presses
Seated Military Press
JM Press
Arnold Press
Behind The Neck Press
Clean and Press
Bent Over Delt Raises
Face Pulls

Standed Military Press best!

Seated is superior for building shoulder strength/size. Standing, people tend to use power from their hips and legs to drive the weight up to lockout taking away from the targeted muscle, the delts.

Agree, but =/ Standed hit your core, and stabilizing your body, which is not easy. So i prefer Standed which is more harder than seated. Just my opinion, you don't have to listen to it.

The fact that many people don't do the exercise correctly does not mean the exercise is less effective when done correctly. Standing and seated military presses will give the same results, only one will help your core as well.

There's no way they're yielding the same results for me when there is a 100lb difference between my seated (being near 400) and standing military press. You develop core strength in the seated position as well, if you didn't there'd be no power to press the weight back up.

Hang clean & press would be the most compound shoulder exercise.

[spurdo]

Seated or standing military bench press, whichever suits you. The seated one isolates your shoulders well, but the standing one strengthens your core better and is overall a better compound movement in my opinion.

[DanBBz]

bicep curls.

[Vinzr]

Military press and shoulder press

[Siliou]

bicep curls.

Lol'd.

Military press, and seated shoulder press.

[FaIIen]

Ohp

[BradCathie]

Gonna go ahead and listen to strangeclouds here. Just thinking in my head, I wouldn't be able to use my legs anywhere near as much during seated military press. Imagine that movement and tell me you're not tensing your abs as hard as possible even during lightweight.

Strong incline press

I'm 23. That was 3yrs ago, pre injury. I don't train for strength anymore, so I doubt I'd press more than 315 for 5 or 6 reps.


you can likely find vids of my 405 bench at 18, 455 flat bench at 19yo, 315 on incline for easy clean reps.

Lol what? 315 for 5 or 6 reps? Strong half rep.

315x1 strict OHP is very impressive IMO. 315x5-6...damn...

[Rodier21]

I'll just post my youtube channel, though I haven't had any vids or anything since I was 20, for obvious reasons (being out of the gym and recovering from injuries)

405 x 3 + Fail


450 x 1 Flat Bench


315 x 10 Incline




So no military press vids, yet. But I'll make a note in my log to get a vid of it after I finish my cut. I'm lookin to get a vid of 315 x 20 on Incline and 315 x 50 on Squats as well. I may not train for maximal muscular strength any more, but I still have beast muscular endurance.
