Standing. I am there to balance the bar and hurt my lower back.

to easy to use one's leg to drive the bar up, right now I am trying to really strengthen my delts

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....

I think the design was for a spotter assisted shoulder press.

I do my presses on a (almost) 90 degree bench to support my lower back. w dumbells My upper back does not move or sway... nothing. All delts.

My gym has 2 nice shoulder press seats, with the barbell racked in front of you. Only problem is that the highest pegs are still chest-level for me, so getting the first one up sucks hardcore.
