If you are an experienced lifter, I recommend sets of 5 reps with a weight that you can do for only 5 reps. However, it would be a good idea to take a very light weight for 10 reps as a warm up. To make the military press more of a complete and effective exercise, you can power clean and press each rep.

A M-W-F schedule is ideal for rest and frequency.

I think that sets of 5-12 reps are ideal for barbell hip thrusting, and I think that sets of 10-20 reps are ideal for band hip thrusting.
