The military press is a
weight training exercise, variation of the
overhead press. It is performed by pressing a barbell overhead while standing heels together . This makes the exercise harder than the overhead press.The primary target for the military press are the shoulders (or
deltoid muscles). But because the lift is performed standing, it will also work the core and legs which help stabilizing the weight.The lift begins with the lifter standing heels together and the barbell on the anterior deltoids. The lifter then raises the barbell overhead. To bring the barbell to the starting position, the lifter can either clean the bar off the floor to the shoulders or take the bar from a rack.
