Tip: Seated Barbell Military Press

Exercise Rating
10/10

May 17, 2012 5:21 PM: Best shoulders mass gainer. Perform it seated inside a squat rack and move the barbell BACK slightly as it goes over the head. This will incorporate the rear delts and stabilizers too. Use a spotter to do four forced reps at the end of last two sets.

Sep 13, 2011 8:57 AM: I have found that making sure to lower the bar all th way to the top of the chest not only helps to maintain or increase flexibility it also forces me to perform the movement much slower.

Mar 16, 2011 1:32 PM: Works the shoulder and arms very well. I do not recommend trying to go behind the head. Doing so over extends your rotator cuff and WILL lead to injury with heavy weights! REMEMBER FORM IS EVERYTHING!

Jan 31, 2011 6:28 AM: This is a very effective exercise. However I put a slight twist it. First off, I prefer to stand. In addition, I start with a barbell about waist level, then push the bar overhead, pushing it overhead twice then lower it back to waist level. Repeat.

Mar 3, 2010 1:01 AM: Tried this today, both chest and behind the neck styles. Behind the neck is certainly harder on your shoulders. I was more comfortable with a heavier weight when bringing the bar down to my chest. Good exercise though.
