Can someone tell me the difference between a military press and a standing barbell press?

Well, I know our military press contraption, you still use a BB but you are seated.

A military press is done standing with a barbell with the bar in front of you.

A standing barbell press is done with the bar behind the head.

At least that's how I think of it.

But if you look at different sites that have exercise vids the descriptions for both will vary.

Ok that's what I thought that's what I read when I googled it but wanted to make sure. Thanks.

Potentially nothing.

I've forever thought military presses where done w/ db's. They should always be done w/ bb's; or does it matter?

For really heavy loads, a barbell is probably more suitable since getting teh dumbbells in to position may be problematic.

I do get embarrassed to ask questions sometimes, because I think ppl will :ban3: me. Silly of me I guess, nobody has ever made me feel bad about asking quite the opposite in fact.

No but I think most of us have felt this way at one time or another.I was always told, that no question is a dumb question and what is dumb is not knowing about something and not doing:) what you can to change that.

Agreed, I was reminded of that today.
