I injured my right shoulder doing these . i would recomend doing the move in front.
@TriforceofCourage187
LMAO he does
lowering to low, if you did that using alot of weight you would blow your rotor cuff and rien your training for life. it’s all about form and holding that contraction baby.
I’ve had a nagging shoulder injury ever since I had a strenuous behind-the neck lift as well, its really not worth it to have a potentially life-long injury just find some alternative lift.
i don;t see anything .. sucks..
Reg park did 300 lbs doing this exercise. Wow!!
Same benefits as goin in front. Behind the head has more detrimental effects. If you must go behind the head go light.
@chrisdotwynn i actualyy agree, behind the neck press are great for the shoulders but they are like a ticking time bomb , i just strained my shoulder from doing it all these years so im still recovering but when i get back it’s definetley out of my workout
Thanks for the info, but I still dont trust it, even sitting under a smith machine. I’ve done them before this way, and it always feels akward to me. I do my shoulder presses(from the chest) and front laterial raises for the front delts, side laterial raises for the side delts, and I lay on my stomach on a bench and hit my rear laterial raises for my rear delts. Finish all this off with a heavy set of shrugs, and I feel like a football player with pads on when I finish pumpin iron!
For maximum benifit you want to do both. I always go a little lighter on the behind the neck just to be safe. If you really want to play it safe use the Smith Machine for the behinds. But no, if you do them properly they’re great for REALLY stregthaning the cuffs, great for preseason football.
I read that behind the head presses and pulldowns are bad on the rotator cuffs, and you gain the exact same benefits by doing it in front of your head.
I bring it to my ears when I go heavy… my shoulders have grown allot.
nice one
I do these myself and I rbing tehw eight down lower let the weight tap the tops of my shoulders not the neck… be warned, you have to be careful pushing yourself with this exercise because you could easily injury your neck. I know because I’ve done it myself.
he has arellay good body not to much butt bigg
No reason to come down that far, NO BENEFITS only injures.
His wrist position is not good for heavy weight. Keep the wrist as straight as possible.
do it in front not behind it will make your neck LESS to damage!!!!
it will result the same THING!
These are for middle delts M&F said its the best for middle delts but almost anyone else says side raises are better for middle delts.
what a beast
actually, if u do it on the front, it will work the anterior parts of the deltoid with synergistic action from the pecs. But its probably safer to do it down the front.
isn’t that to easy to achieve anything..i do that with 100 lbs..
lol
yeah hes got something stuck up his ass
what is that suppose to even mean…??
