    french/military press?

    What is the the difference in form that makes french press more of a tricep workout than shoulder? Is it hand placement, or the actual motion of the bar? I don't understand what makes it more of a tricep exercise than for shoulders.

    Wow. I read everything on french press wrong before. Now reading it described it's also known as skull crushers or lying tricep extensions right? I don't know why I thought it was more like an overhead press.
