military press

Is it true the military press uses hip drive, kinda like the push press uses leg drive?

Not a military press.

Not a military press.

True, but generally when people say Military press they tend to mean regular ol' press. Probably because Military press sounds cooler or whatever. Seeing as Hamworld doesnt have the book, i think its ok to assume that he hasnt yet read about the different variations.

Well, I tend to try to answer the question asked, not the one I think they wanted to ask.

Yeah, you're right. Just a habit i guess.

Actually I might try to clarify first, but this is hamworld, so he gets special treatment.

Because someone said so. IIRC Rippetoe said the military press uses a little hip drive on the forum.

Maybe I got the poster's name wrong. So I'm just asking.
