standing military vs seated military

[Sub-Zero]

If you are pushing more seated, there's a reason and it's not a good one (the lean is either making it into an incline, stability issues in a possible variety of areas, or you are benefitting from not pressing the first rep from a deep stationary position). Use some leg drive, push press, whatever. You can't curl more with your back up against a wall and legs/lower body perfectly still so if you are pressing more by locking yourself down there's a reason.

thanks man.

probably leaning back to the incline thing while doing it seated. ill stick with standing, then

I usually do the first rep with enough leg assist to take the bar to about eye level and let my shoulders take it from there. On the eccentric, I let the bar down to just below my chin. I haven't tried seated presses since I gave up the Smith machine.
