Feb 16, 2011 1:55 PM: Should be a staple in everyones shoulder routine, its a basic and essential "power" compound exercise for shoulder that is essential for overall shoulder growth and development. Barbell/dumbell shoulder press and laterals(side and rear, front raises are useless if you already do shoulder presses)...+See More

May 5, 2010 5:39 AM: I prefer standing as you are using more stablizers, but seated allows you to get more power while planting your feet and using the leverage from the back rest.
