Yes you are correct. I agree that you need to stand while doing them also. All of my workout buddies do them sitting down instead of standing up. I am the only one that does them standing up. When I had them to try and do them standing, they could only do about half of what they could do sitting down. I can still do more than them standing, than they can do sitting or standing.shutupntra1n said:They tend to be the most overlooked body part yet the first area that will give the appearance of great size and shape overall IMO.
Shoulder presses are mass builders, but lateral raises will also help shape the shoulder and also dumbell rows will hit the back of the shoulder nicely.
If you do military presses, be sure to do them standing

crazy_enough said:just my 2 cents, but arnold press does wonders....adds mass, defines...and burns like hell...all good ingredients of a shoulder exercise!
Well, all you have to do is stand in a squat rack. Place the barbell about shoulder height and have at it. It's really simple. Also, you don't have to reach behind your head to get the bar which could be hard on your shoulders without a spotter.rangers97 said:oh and I prefer the sitting military press as well, if not for anything else other than it is easier to lift the weight off the rack than it is to pick it off the ground!
I usually do somewhere around 165-170 on the MP and there is no way in hell I am going to lift that off the floor and clean it into starting position, then do my set then clean it down to the ground...i mean if someone knows of an easier way to do this that I am missing, please let me know and I will try, but for now, it is seated MPs
