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 absolutly LOVE standing barbell presses!!! :lifter: Awesome movement! :thumbs: I rarely do seated.
 
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.
 
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.

Do them in a garage or, weather permitting, outside.
 
am i right that you will use alot less weight standing.... and should you spread your feet like your walking so you have more a base?
 
I use shoulder width stance.
as for less weight- it depends on the person I suppose. I find I have more strength on standing :shrug:
