Is military press better standing or sitting?
Lifting anything up overhead is a great way to develop core strength, however when doing from a standing position one can really maximize core stability. When sitting, the lifter is not required to fully support themselves (the seat will offer support), often allowing for increased loading and/or volume.

Despite its many benefits, the overhead press is not necessary for shoulder development. You can get by with incline presses, front raises, and lateral raises. But it will take longer to develop your deltoids fully this way.

The overhead press is slightly less well-known and requires a little more coordination because it’s performed standing. You can get a stronger upper body with both, but each works your muscles in slightly different ways. The bench press is an easy to learn upper body exercise.
How much does a military press cost?
For beginners—or if this is a new exercise for you—I recommend sets of 10 reps with a weight of about 25% of your bodyweight. If you weigh 150 lb., then start with about 35 to 40 lb. for 2 sets of 10 reps. If you are an experienced lifter, I recommend sets of 5 reps with a weight that you can do for only 5 reps.
