shoulder presses--which is the one that works best?

[tuned up]

if you could only do 1 of these 2 which would it be;
dumbells or seated milatary?
I,m leaning towards seated milatarys cause i can press more weight

 

[saturn]

I like seated military.

 

[heckman]

I second the motion....seated military!

 

[GetnBigr]

me to, but I do both on a rotation

 

[tuned up]

that quick respone is preety cool--I,m in the middle of my workout leading up to shoulder presses and i couldn,t decide--now i know --milatarys--perfect timing--thanks

 

[GetnBigr]

we're always glad to help

dumbells! less pain due to less restriction.

 

[Pumping Iron]

Arnold Presses are my favorite.

 

[rugbythug]

seated on a smith-more weight and safer.

Seated dumbells

 

[Bently]

Since I did them last night I want to throw in machine seated presses. At our gym I sit backwards in the seat as I hit the delts better that way.

I prefer dumbells because I have a problem with my right shoulder and with dumbells my left can't compensate. I tend to tip the weight a little with the barbell, its not pretty.

 

[pumpseeker]

they both work well. depends on the day.

i like d.b. work because of the isolation you get from them. Both are good. How about adding in a clean and press or standinf barbell military press.

 

[anvil]

seated on a slight incline for back support d.b. good too. behind the neck is not as safe due to a unnatural movement with heavy wieght after many years I found that out the hard way.

 

[physiqueartist]

Seated Military I can really add the weigth
Dumbbells- great feel and less restictive
Standing military- different feel and pull stabilizer muscle in

try to do 2 workouts of seated then switch to dumbell or standing then back to seated

Redrocks, you're always pretty when you lift... (Except when you get that "Popeye" look... ;^) )

I'd go with DB's ..........less chance of injuring the rotary cuff muscles :thumbsup:

i like bells too. it's the best way to isolate each side as opposed to a barbell where one side could dominate the other. Bells wrk great with rehab too.
