    Pain from military press

    About two-3 years ago I broke my collar bone, would this have anything to do with the pain I experience in my left shoulder?

    Shoulder Overhead Press. To sit or stand?

    When it comes to shoulders, we all agree that shoulder pressing is the way to go. But which do you find hits the shoulders most, seated shoulder press or standing shoulder press? do you prefer dumbbells or barbell? which allows you to use most weight?

The first 2 sets are always fine, no real issues with the last rep on the 2nd set requiring a little effort, yet on the third set I'm struggling by rep 4-6...

    Overhead press thread

    Basically just a thread to spread the love for overhead pressing. I find a big strict press much more impressive and a better judge of upper body strength than a big bench. Plus it gives you big wide shoulders. What numbers are people putting up? Anyone hit over BW strict press? What have...

    Struggling with overhead press

    Hi, I have been doing 3x5 for the military press for quite a while now, and I have been stuck at 37.5kg for a month! :mad: I am fine with 35kg, can complete all sets, but with 37.5kg, I can't do more than ~3-4 with the latter two sets! It hasn't been improving at all! I think i need to mix it...

    The standing overhead press

    I consider the overhead standing press the upper body squat. Whether you prefer military press, push press or jerk, just get a bar from the ground to overhead. I prefer the MP as a true test of pressing strength. No technique, no momentum, just pure pressing power. The push press is a...
