Which do you prefer and why?


Posted by: P-funk

standing....feels more natural and puts less pressure on the spine then when seated.

Standing. Seated really hurts my back, and its more difficult to keep balance on the bench for some reason.

Standing BB, seated DB's.

same here


I have been under the impression that standing military press or push presses really work ur core to stabilize, thus why I have adopted them.

BTW

Push press is by far one of new favorite exercises.

excellent! so if something goes south, the weight gets to heavy, you lean back and there is no support and you are seated so you don't have your hips to support you either! Sounds brilliant. any other pearls of wisdom you can offer up this evening?

seated all the time for me....it helps me isolate better.

Standing no doubt. I have always preferred them that way, even before I learned reasons why it is better to do them standing.

Standing...more of a full upper body pressing move than seated.

Standing is more beneficial I'd say... core movements are always best

I do BB, DB and unilateral DB all standing.

Instead of P-Funk, maybe it should be P-Chops....Or pork chops..

Like most Mod's they have so many friends, whats wrong with one enemy. You tell them all off Mr. Funk and if you need help, I the president will call on all my Troops to come to your rescue...

President Toughy
