    Yea, sitting would be easier for military press, I have been going up in reps maintaining the same weight hoping sometime it will be easier for me to hoist up the heavier weight.

    Note: I do not weigh very much. lol

    I would recommend someone handing them to you. When you sling them up (unless one can curl them controlled) you are doing damage to your shoulders. It is just more safe to have someone hand them to ya.
