i have to do it at least a little, seems natural but is it bad form? Also i thought about it and it seems pretty dangerous.
I've heard of people being afraid of doing squats or deads but **** the real danger lies in standing military press, if you **** that up, your done.

Curving back while doing standing military press, is that normal?

Keep your abs flexed and that will help keep your back straight. Curving a little is okay...you'll feel it when your bending back to far.

balance isnt really an issue but i do shake (which i think is normal when i get near my max), i just curve because it helps me push the weight up.Originally Posted by amc11890

You should lower the weight a little bit if you have to do that in order to lift the weight up.Originally Posted by Death Strike

everyone bends to an extent but if you have to bend your back just to get the weight up then it is too heavy.Originally Posted by Death Strike

bending your back means that your using to much weight that you need some other part of your body to help get it up. Try lowering the weight and it will pay off more.

about seven months ago my best friend and i were doing some seated DB military press and his back curved and he slipped a disk...now he has cronic backpain, so from personal experience yeah it can mess you up.
