I think the Military Press falls under the umbrella of Shoulder Press exercises. For example, when I do a Shoulder Press, Im usually on a bench and use dumbbells. Thats what youd typically call a Shoulder Press. On the other hand, the Military Press involves standing upright and pressing a barbell overhead. So, while the Military Press is a variant of the Shoulder Press, it doesnt encompass all types of Shoulder Presses. Its similar to how all tortoises are turtles, but not all turtles are tortoises.

interesting. well, whatever you want to call it, what i do is with dumb bells and while standing straight up, and it always makes me feel really great afterward and has led to some noticeable increases in mass in my shoulders and neck. so it works.

Hey Duran! What'dya do?

apparently i spoke out too harshly against conservatives in the eyes of a mod in reference to a Fox News propaganda piece someone posted that essentially turned the story about the eclipse into a story about the "flood" of illegal immigrants coming across the border, that nobody is paying attention to because everyone's eyes were in the sky instead of on the ground.

Duran here, tagging with my alt cuz my main is in purg. 201.4 this morning! trending back downward after going back up to 203.2-203.6 for a few days. i haven't been doing very well with keeping up with my weight lifting regimen, because even though my left bicep is finally feeling better after i injured it in January, now my right bicep is not doing so good. but i don't think it is because i pushed myself too hard lifting with it like what happened with my left bicep. it kinda just started giving me issues out of nowhere. i think i only slept on it wrong or something. anyway, i know i should probably still do my lower body workout even if i need to take it easy on my arms, but since full body workouts are my normal routine, most of the time i find it difficult to get the motivation to just do what in my brain is only part of my workout. i really should get to it though.

as far as shoulder press, i really like how it works out not only the chest but the upper back and shoulders too. i think it is generally considered one of the major compound exercises because of how much difference it can make in defining your shoulders. i've seen pictures of some guys with huge biceps and triceps and forearms, but pretty small shoulders in comparison, and it just looks weird tbh. but on the subject, personally i don't quite understand the difference between shoulder press, overhead press, and military press. sometimes it seems like they are just used as different names for basically the same movement, but other times it seems like there is supposed to be an implied difference there, but i can't tell what.
