military press for shoulders question

[Godson]

When i work out my shoulders i do the

Military press with the Barbell
for 4 sets

then in the same day later in the work out
i do the miliary press with dumbells and i thought to myself
this seems like im doing the exact same workout just with bbs and dbs
is it almost pointless?

should i just choose one or the other, alternative maybe every week
or is it completely fine to do both during the same workout ?

advice would be appreciated ..thanks

I would do one and alternate every week or 2 and pick another push exercise that day, but it is fine to do them both on the same day

thanks

you could consider doing military press then a rotating style exercise like a arnold shoulder press (not sure of correct name). the arnold press could benefit as a warm up style routine as well, then hit military press seeing as its more of a power movement

do standing barbell press with the barbell obviously


and sitting arnold presses with the dumbbells

[Godson]

so you guys say its ok to do both press with db and bb in the same day right?

It's fine

[chopper9451]

I always go one week doing db military press and the next bb

This is a good approach. I also like to throw the occasional press behind the neck in using a smith machine and the hammer strength machine works well for some.

I wouldnt for 2 reasons, tear your shit first one, second need a good spotter since when doing military heavy at least you either go up or you dont haha. So if anything do DB first and then BB, but I seriously would switch it up.
