I just felt the urge to post this very old joke:

The Military Press




There is very little consistency of terminology in the fitness industry. Depending on the author of a program, a military press might be called an overhead press, a shoulder press, or something else. I wouldn't even assume you'd be seated for a shoulder press unless the program specified a seated shoulder (or overhead) press.

I agree with Alco too. I much prefer push presses, barbell or dumbbell.
