Sitting position push vs standing position push

Sitting shoulder push vs standing shoulder push

Shoulder training generally uses shoulder push as the main training movement, just like the bench press for pectoral muscle training, shoulder push has Which one is better, sitting and standing and push!

The pressing action is a compound action, mainly training our shoulder deltoid muscles and triceps. The muscles in other parts of the body also need to assist in work, such as core muscles

1. From a safety perspective

Sitting posture is safer than standing posture. Having a stool supports will bring you stability!

When pushing shoulders in a standing posture, our waist is under a lot of pressure because the load on our upper body will increase the pressure on the waist. Especially when lifting up to the top of the movement, due to the force With the lengthening of the arms, the lumbar spine receives greater pressure.

Sitting shoulder push can increase the stability of the body, especially in the sitting shoulder push with the backrest. We allocate a lot of force to the backrest stool, which can make the movement safer.

2. In terms of training effect:

Although it is all pushing shoulders, the sitting shoulder pushing shoulders are better for the training of the deltoid muscles. Stand shoulder pushing shoulders are better for the overall strength and muscles of the whole body!

Bodybuilding training mainly emphasizes the stimulation of muscles, and of course also includes the weight and number of groups used. Comprehensive factors such as the number of times.

Sitting shoulder push: Due to the poor stability of the body, we will have many muscles participating in this movement during standing, such as the erection spinal muscles, abdominal muscles, and even hip muscles around the spine. This will help you exercise the strength and muscles of the whole body well

Sitting shoulder push: The sitting shoulder push is more stable, and the weight can stimulate the deltoid muscle more concentratedly. That is to say, from the perspective of the deltoid training effect, sitting shoulder push is also better than our standing shoulder push.

So we know: standing shoulder push The stimulation to our target muscles (shoulder muscles) is less than that of sitting shoulder pushing. However, it is better than sitting shoulder pushing in overall strength and muscle development

Finally: If you want to better stimulate the deltoid muscle, we try to use sitting shoulder pushing as much as possible. Occasionally, you can use standing shoulder pushing to give new stimulation to the muscles. However, you should pay attention to protecting our lumbar spine, that is, the training weight should not be too large, and do not borrow too much waist strength during training. It is best to use a protective belt when it is heavy.
