Seated vs. Standing Overhead Press (strict)

[carp3d33z]

is the seated a machine?

No, its very similar to the power rack in design, except there is a chair welded in the middle. The barbell is positioned over your head, and slightly behind you.

They have this same set up at the 24 I work out at. I have got up to 245 7 times, I do find myself kinda slanting in to use some top chest as it gets more difficult. I just did Dumbells seated the other day and got up to the 95's, but standing I struggle with 185 for reps.

Stop being a gay wafer and just do sohp.

after reading this thread i think im gonna stick with the sohp from now on it seems like it produces more functional strength than the seated ohp.
