Cheating on Military?
I recently tried doing military press with some back support. I usually did them sitting on a flat bench facing the opposite way you would when benching. But when I tried it using a incline bench about 10 to 15 degrees off straight up and down I was able to lift a good bit of extra pounds. Does having this slight angle bring in more chest, thus taking something away from my shoulders? I would rather do them right than with more weight.
Thanks for any feed back.

If you want to do military the best/safest way do them standing. The excerise will work other parts of your body as well as stabilizers (abs, erector spinae etc).
would you sit in a chair to lift something above your head to put on a shelf ?I train differently than most, my beef is with gravity the weights on the bar are just the medium...Thanks to Wall Street your slice of the American Pie has been reduced to a crumb.

I agree with LAM I never got great results with the military until I started doing it standing. No cheating this way.

I've always prefered dumbell shoulder presses over barbell presses. I get way more shoulder out of it and think it's safer then doing barbell, but doing standing military press is a different story. It is a really good exercise that will pack on lots of strength and size in the shoulders and tris area. A few powerlifters I know swear by it to increase their bench strength.
