standing presses
I was doing barbell presses last week and i felt my ass start slipping foward and it hurting my back so i was going to look into doing standing barbell and dumbell presses from now on.. obviosly i will have to use a lighter weight but what do you guys think about it.... or maybe just for barbell because ive never had any pain using dumbells ... possible becuase i use alot more weight with the bar...

I never do my barbell presses seated and almost always do my dumbell presses standing as well (only on occasion do I do those seated).

Standing presses are my favorite, too! I didnt start doing them until I heard about possible back problems from doing them seated.
But when you disarm them, you at once offend them by showing that you distrust them, either for cowardice or for want of loyalty, and either of these opinions breeds hatred against you.

IMO, its the only way to do them.

Unfortunately, I can't do them that way. I workout at home, and the celing is really low in my weight room and I'm 6 feet tall. Also, I have no other place to do it. I prefer standing presses, but I don't mind seated presses.
The only time it's bad to feel the burn is when you're peeing...

I use shoulder width stance.
as for less weight- it depends on the person I suppose. I find I have more strength on standing
