    Military Press vs Shoulder Press

    arent both exercises essentially the same? One is done standing the other is done sitting?

    Does it defeat the purpose if a Smith Machine is used for Military Press??

    Umm, as far as what i've always called them, they're the same.

    I think smith machine presses suck.

    my understanding, military press is with barbell and shoulder press is dumbell.

    but then there is barbell press.

    wow so confused

    smith machine sucks either way
