i just got a power rack--so instead of doing milatarys from a seated position,in which i would bend over,grab the bar from the floor and proceed---I now put the bar on the rack ,shoulder height, load up the weights,and then grab the bar from that height and do my sets.Seems i can work the set with MUCH MORE weight do to the fact that i,m not bending over and grabbing it etc.,I know this is probably a stupid question but am I compromising this exercise in any way by doing it this way?

Most folks don't do 'em standing d/t risk of back injury. As far as doing them for for shoulder training, you don't gain anything from standing, although the standing could help with core strength which might carry over to other exercises.
Most folks are too strong in a strict seated military / OH press to handle the same weights when standing. (I can't see myself doing 225 standing, unless I spent some time working up to it...)

Who's on first?... LOL. The title of the thread was "Question about Standing Milatarys" so I kind of assumed he was doing them standing. He also said, "so instead of doing milatarys from a seated position..."
Tuned up?...
Tugs - like I said, you can use more weight seated (w/ a bench to put your back against). This is why you you would get more of the exercise by sitting.

Hmm....I do straight bar Military presses standing usually. I do dumbell sitting.
I do know I use more stabilizer muscle while standing which can be good and bad like homon said.
I just make sure to not over do it and arch my back at any time. Works for me I guess...lol.
