‘downsizing’ Member 5704, 3454 posts SQ 280, BP 210, DL 320 810.0 kgs @ 96.3kgs UnEq	They're a good exercise but I wouldn't do them like that with all the walking back and front box squat to start. would set up in squat rack and do first one off pins set at collar height

Some from the seated frame. Some that are cleaned and then seated presses etc... Some cleaned and standing strict-presses etc The more strict presses you get in, the better the presser you'll become IMO

I wouldn't fancy dumping the weight the way you do it. Possible sore knees etc.

I'm forced to do seated OH stuff due to lifting in a dingy shed, would never do it through choice. For me, it makes you press everything strict & IMO, this gives you better strength gains. Takes all leg drive out of it, and if you press without the back up on a bench, it works your core too (although this will reduce the weight you can press etc) I'd say a good mix of seated pressing and standing pressing (strict) will give you best overall workout for shoulders and best for gaining strength

I am from Germany so i know what i talk about. Member 5171, 1049 posts SQ 217.5, BP 160, DL 233.5 611.0 kgs @ 83kgs UnEq	Seated full range smith machine presses like Savickas does really works wonders for me.
