Military Presses vs. Shoulder Presses

[Shaptown]

Dumbell vs barbell for each. I realize they do work seperate muscles, but if you could only do one, which would it be?

Preference of one over the other? Why?

Barbell...for safety more than anything...once u get to the point u need 100lbs or more I think the risk for injury is much higher with dumbells...plus...u lose a quarter of the energy u had going into a set just getting the dumbells in place....less energy means less weight....less weight means less muscle.

agreed. You can build massive shoulders off of barbell military presses only IMO.
