WORST Shoulder Exercise (WATCH IT TEAR A SHOULDER MUSCLE)
video description
Now I've had to rest from weights they've actually gotten worse - I guess the exercise was at least keeping them mobile.
Wasn't sure it was caused by behind the neck press, because I first noticed agonising pain holding the barbell behind my neck for squats, but now I see it was the cause. I was actually doing in front/behind neck with alternate reps. Oh. -

Your demonstration appears valid since the skeleton has rounded shoulders (poor posture/scapular winging. But what happens when you actually engage proper muscle activation of the Lower Traps and other smaller muscles to keep the scapula locked in and secure during functional movement patterns to ensure proper joint arthrokinematics and alignment? I understand you want you prevent a tear in your muscles via the Rotator Cuff, but I think this example doesn't go into the importance of PROPER FORM for both muscle growth and joint arthrokinematics

cannot stress enough, do not ever lift out to the side. I did for many years and my right a/c joint has never been the same. I did months of PT, cortisone shots and stopped overhead lifting to heal it, and even though that was all 5 years ago, my a/c joint still flares up sometimes and I get a pinching when I lift my arm. I've made it a point to follow Jeff and use proper form but it can't turn back time.

The weird thing for me was I always did my presses to the front. med width. and my elbow always naturally tracked the plane you suggest, but it still delivered some impingement soreness brought on by improper weight cycling. Surprisingly, behind the neck press, no lower than base of skull, is what I did to rehab them, clearly at a lighter weight. Not bashing the vid, just trowing out, my real world.

If the socket is facing one set direction but the bone part of the arm where it goes into that socket is spherical. what difference does it make becuse a sphere has the same shape no matter how you turn it. example if you put a ball in a cup, the ball can roll however it wants in the cup. Now that joint is a synovial joint. the only thing holding it back would be tendons and ligaments.

I wish I'd watched this sooner. Been doing complete upper body workouts 3 times a week with a lot of shoulder press reps. Yesterday I finished my 1st session of the week and for the first time my right shoulder is killing me. I do my shoulder press from the sides because I saw a different workout video that told you to do this - never again! Thanks Jeff.

I didn-t even watch the video because I know this guy is goin to talk bad about behind the neck presses. The fact is that they are not bad for you unless your someone that has bad shoulder posture, in which case the problem is YOU, not the exercise. There is absolutely no proof that shows behind the neck presses are bad for you.

-Love love love these. >>>--ur2. pl/1182-- Perfect for lifting at home and a better price option then just continuing to buy a set at every weight when I need them. Easy to quickly switch weight, not too bulky (though takes some getting used to, and gotta love the free Amazon shipping for such a heavy package! -

I've done behind the neck presses for 20yrs at the beginning of my shoulder day and never had an injury or pain, so why I understand what he's saying from an anatomy standpoint, I'm not convinced it's bad because I've certainly gained size and strength from this exercise while staying injury free.

Not certain about the points made but, if anyone else wants to learn about how to relieve shoulder shoulder pain try Seans shoulder fixer (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now )? Ive heard some interesting things about it and my work buddy got great success with it.
