standing or seated? i like standing

Seated for usre, you can't cheat...

[LM1332]

seated and its better for your back as well

[Spoon]

i prefer seated since you have support for your back and you cant cheat as much as opposed if you were standing. if you so it standing make sure to use a belt to help you with your form.

standing nearly cripples me as I have a bad disc in my back already. Adding that extra strain would kill me.

[Mu'min]

I also prefer seated for reasons already mentioned.

[nj123]

i have always done seated and recently i have been doing standing and it feels like it hits my shoulders alot better.

I now use the iso lat military machine. Good motion.

[ImmmtheIceman]

I cant do standing because if i go heavy i start to have bad form, and i hurt my back. JMO

[clampitt]

i am all about standing. Works the abs as well.

I prefer seated as it focuses on my delts more and I can't cheat, also standing really messes with my lower back when I go up heavy so, I stoped doing standing military presses I only do seated now.

Seated. this thread is so old!

Standing if you are in any way concerned with functional lifting. Other than in the gym, when was the lat time you lifted something of appreciable weight overhead while seated?

standing makes you involuntarily use your legs to stablize, making it easier on your shoulders
