Getting equipment can be costly, so here is a simple military press variation that will work on thoracic extension, posture, core strength, as well as build shoulder muscle.

Posture Shoulder Presses


Question: Why not just do these on a bench?

Answer: Posture up in a chair, then sit in a V pattern (as shown in the video) and posture up. You should feel a noticable difference. Sitting down and posturing up takes hamstring flexibility and hip mobility out of the equation (or at least minimizes it).

Note: If using a barbell, I recommend using the spotter bars as shown in the video just in case you lose tension in your body.

  • Are you using the minimus walkers? why not the trainers lol?

    

  • @pipozZz Simple reason: Because New Balance does not make size 15s.

  • @jhashey in anything other than the MW's I should say.

  • Wouldn´t it be better for your back, if you sit on a bench? Or are there benifits to the legs on the ground?

  • @damuschka A bench allows you to lean forward and take the tension off your core. Its tougher to posture up from sitting down - so if you don't have the strength/flexibility a bench is a good starting option.

  • I do those sitting against the wall. Shoulders must must always be against the wall when pressing. I find this keeps perfect form.

  • Great work Joe
