Maybe this will clear things up some.

I think people want to use some westside methods but they are not really trying to be powerlifters.
With the mix that I've seen here, reading back through..I just see some heavy oh pressing followed by lighter benching or vice versa. I don't see anything that would increase any injury likelihood from what I can tell...but I would recommend not doing all straight bar pressing. I'm not seeing much dumbell work. To much straight bar work can take it's toll and that may be the origin of the "military pressing" thing but I think it's not really an oh pressing thing as much as it is too much straight bar work. I don't really know about strict westside protocols, though
As far as the oh pressing I do mean in general. OH pressing is not for everyone. But hell, neither is benching.
