Military Press

[Thorough_Bred]

I know it works the shoulders but what are the secondary muscles it works?

 

[Cynic]

Tricep, anterior, medial and posterior deltoids. I'll have to look at my reference later to find more.

 

[Azn_Drag0n]

it works out mainly just the anterior deltoids, not "medial" or posterior. There is no medial deltoid, it's called a lateral deltoid.

It works out triceps and chest. But those are just synergists, not really getting the workout as your shoulders.

 

[Hoss]

traps are it's main focus imo.. then ant delts, then tris, then lat delts

Should I keep doing my dumbbell shoulder presses then with the military presses?

one or zero shoulderpress-exercises is enough, infact many peoples anterior deltoids are far ahead in development compared to the rest of the shoulders - because of it getting enough from chest-exercises etc.
