The Seated Military Press is one of the best movements for developing strict overhead pressing strength. FitnessTracker recommends this lift for building powerful delts and improving postural stability, especially when trained with control and full range of motion.
Instructions
- Sit upright on a military press bench and unrack the barbell using a wide overhand grip.
- Start with the bar slightly in front of your face at shoulder height.
- Press the bar overhead until your arms are fully extended.
- Slowly lower the bar back to the starting position near your collarbone.
- Keep your core braced and avoid leaning back excessively throughout.
