this is pointless
either do it standing, or on a bench with back support set to around 80 degrees
I don't want to compress my spine.
Why?
Use your brain for 1 second.
How are you compressing your spine less if the contact point is your butt on a bench, or your feet?
The case where you are "compressing your spine" the least would be the one where you have back support.
Also, your sub 1pl8 press isn't going to compress shit.
Sure, compressing your spine is a thing, for strongmen doing 1000lbs yoke picks / runs or powerlifters squatting stupid numbers.
>How are you compressing your spine less if the contact point is your butt on a bench, or your feet?
I've always wondered the same very thing, but Mike Israetel says the seated version contributes less to axial fatigue and he tends to know what he's talking about.
Yes it's more fatiguing because you have to engage more stuff to balance yourself and exert force through a longer kinetic chain. Don't see how the spinal compression would be any different.
Either do the standing one or a seated overhead press with back support, this one where you're sitting un-supported just seems like a useless in-between.

i like seated and unsupported, both for ohp and for db press
i feel the back support has 2 major disadvantages
a) it makes me wanna arch my back, press my head against the bench, and try to recruit chest into it. ive even had neck pain from this
b) i feel that it interferes with the movement. specifically, it feels like i can't move my scapula as the shoulders extend, like i should
anyways, i've ended up doing ohp standing (as i like to cheat by push pressing the last rep or 2) and db press seated, but unsupported (for a cleaner, more strict shoulder exercise)
i alternate between the 2 on subsequent shoulder workouts
In case your not being edgy. It's one of the exercices that really fricks up my spine. Like foot starting to tingle and shit. Standing gives me less problems.
Then don't do it at all or pick whatever variant works for you. You don't have to press stuff overhead, you'll do just fine with lateral/front raises, upright rows etc.
I am advocating for the standing one. The point is that if you're going to do it seated, then do it on a bench with back support set to a very steep incline.
Grow a backbone homosexual
I have to do this because my homegym ceiling is too low to do it standing.
does exactly the same thing a standing one does, grows your front delts that probably dont need growing anyway, but is safer on the spine
Sitting is worse for your spine.
No matter how much you try having your back straight while sitting down, your pelvis will always be in posterior tilt, gitting rid of your natural spine curvature.
Adding weight in that position will only make it worse.
Standing OHP on the other hand is only bad gor your spine if you're egolifting and overextending it
But how does one hoist the bar and weights into that position?
you clean it and then sit down
But it's gonna get dirty again ;(
If you can't clean your OHP there is something physically wrong with you
It's a cool movement but for hypertrophy isolating triceps, front delts and traps is just better.
Mates, OHP on smith is fine or should i do them only with barbell?
If the smith machine feels good then go for it (seated). I personally don't like being locked into a perfectly straight path.
Herniated disc from doing this shit a few years ago. Good exercise, but watch your form.
nope, can't cheat OHP in that position
