any of you clowns do these, i did them for the first time in a long time after doing seated db presses and my shoulders are so damn sore it's unbelievable.

After I get off my 9 to 5 clown shift most day's, I'll include push pressing off of a set of power rack pins.
When the bar is resting on the heals of the hands, rather than in the palms, than the wrist is in direct line with the bar & forearms. This allows better inline leverage and usually more weight used in the exercise (power). That is the kind of pushing action I think your referring to. When the bar is resting in the palm of the hand, as in regular pressing, too much indirect stress is put upon the wrist and forearms themselves. This exercise is usually done standing with a slight heave and knee jerk each rep. It can be a power movement and prime shoulder mass builder. Probably the main cause of the shoulders being so sore. Welcome to the Big Boy's exercises. Good Luck.

i do them for 5-6 weeks, then switch to seated bb presses for 8-12 weeks to let my shoulders rest....
-
I did these on vacation because the military press station is pretty much imposible to take hold of the bar. So instead I did standing military press behind the head and in front. Works great!

Might try this if you think or do have trouble with the small of the back when pressing. Put one foot ahead of the other. See what foot spacing works best for you. Of course with sitting that option is not offered thought a back support pressing board is found in some gym's.
Some heavy BP'ers will rest the bar on the heels of the hand for that pushing, less stress on the wrist action. Good Luck.

if push presses are standing military presses, then that made up the bulk of my shoulder training when i first started, now i dont do any presses at all for shoulders...
