Seated overhead press

[JDbrotha]

BBM,

First off, thanks for the great content and free information.

My basement ceiling hight is very low so I have to press seated. Is it optimal to do seated presses with your back supported or no?

Am I short changing any muscle or strength acquisition by pressing with back support?

Thanks,
-J

I'd probably do it without back support, or perform kneeling presses.
