Pullups/Military Press Antagonistics?

I’ve seen several EDT workouts that pair the MILITARY PRESS with the PULLUP as antagonistic pairings.

(They do a lat-focused workout at other times.)

Why is the PULLUP considered antagonistic to the MILITARY PRESS?

Thanks

It’s simply a matter of the movement planes being the same, not necessarily exact antagonist muscle groups.

One’s a vertical push, the other is a vertical pull.
