You bring your elbows forward like that of standing ohp? <br /><br />Or do you lower straight down from overhead. At the bottom position on a seated overhead press, should elbow position be same for standing ohp/ military press?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5141022388560653061.post-59850495613746421852013-08-05T06:42:37.358-07:002013-08-05T06:42:37.358-07:00Jamie has a lot of hate for seated pressing too.

They used to be Olympic before the Olympic weightlifting got castrated (the impression you are left with). Whatever.<br /><br />I suck at the standing overhead press.

Whilst I done standing my entire life, but almost without fail--I will use my body to press the weight overhead, rather than forcing the shoulders and triceps into overtime. In the seated version--I had no power coming from the legs.

For instance I suck at DB work, so I am doing a lot of that. The seated press, however, just feels awful and awkward to the point of stupidity. I much prefer the standing press and attribute any of the shoulder development I may have to it. <br /><br />Good article as always Paul.
