Best way to setup for a Military press?

[JollyRogers]

I’m wondering how you guys/gals do your Military presses, like how do you set this exercise up? Off a bench press? A squat rack with a bench in it? Freestanding (clean&press)?

Just wondering...

Standing. I have the pins on the outside of my cage set at my clavicles so I can easily unrack the bar and press away.

A lot of gyms (like mine) have seated pressing stations, with the rack up above head at full-arm extension.

i do them from standing also, my gym has special rack for it that is just at shoulder height, just pick up and press. i've recently started doin them standing and i like alot better. may start experimenting w/cleaning them.

Standing.........Keep your butt cheeks pinched together when doing them....It will set your back in the right position.

seated.....but every military press station has the bar racked behind the lifter....it should be in front of the lifter if you ask me....

the one at my station has safety bars there, so i start from those....
