Why do I have to be standing? You guys said military press I saw they had a seated military press and busted out 8 reps with 135lbs rather easy after doing heavy bench press. I never said I was going to video tape myself standing military pressing 155lbs. I said that's not a worthy challenge and it isn't. No one ever mentioned standing until after I did them seated. I may not do standing military presses but years ago I would do 3 sets of power clean and presses at the end of my workouts for fun so I know a standing 155lbs press is nothing At this point I am alwyas going to do a seated version over a standing version of anything. Dudes be cheating when they stand they bend the knees and use momentum you cant do that seated. Again I say the seated is harder
You are a fucking know nothing when it comes to training!!
One is a Seated Press,and the other is a Military Press......military insinuating that
you should be almost standing at attention "military style" with the
KNEES LOCKED while pressing to a full complete lockout beginning the press at the clavicle/upper pec area
from a dead stop/start without any backbend or at least very minimal backbend.
Now listen up Mr. Mensa,class is once again in session!
The reason Seated Presses are easier is that you can push your back tightly against the pad on the press station......also,you get a lot of extra drive during the movement by pushing your feet hard against the floor when the lift begins to become more difficult.......also as difficulty increases,you will press your back even harder against the back pad thus resulting in more stabilization.
