Overhead/military press ****s all over bench press.

I did that a few weeks ago and I never felt that much burn in my shoulders burn. I was oh so nice....

Only problem is it feels like the most unsafe shyt ever. When I was doing it I was just waiting for some shyt to pop and I hurt myself. We ain't really messed with it since then.

I felt like that at first so I went light until felt I had the form down.

also check out klokov presses if yall haven't yet.. all the cool kids are doing those now. I been on standing presses for a minute now. Salute to anyone else who do these more than benching.

My only issue with the overhead press is my wrists feel like they will snap at any moment, how do I correct this, I have tried wraps but to no avail

youre bending your wrist back too far. try to have the fist a little more upright

i do military press with legs together, standing "at attention". really engages the core

Strict military press is with feet together

If I saw a guy taking up two benches and doing a weird-ass exercise like that, I'd be kinda mad.

If he had plates on his lap I woulda chilled but fukk that, go get on them bars nikka
