This shit will get your shoulders huge. Reddit faggots hate behind the neck shoulder press because “it’s dangerous bro” but it’s not dangerous if you have good mobility. I do it on a smith machine. My delts have been filling out nicely since progressing on this exercise. Warm your shoulders up thoroughly and then try it out with an empty bar or light weights. If it’s painful, don’t do it. If you can do it without pain, start doing it in lieu of regular shoulder press. Dont go super heavy, stay in the 6-10 rep range or above.

Theres a reason all the old school bodybuilders did this shit. Most people really don’t need a bunch of extra front delt work assuming you already go hard on incline bench, dips, etcetera. When you press behind the neck your upper arms are all the way out to your sides. This means you get more side and rear delt involvement compared to regular shoulder press.

A lot of guys cheat with their upper chest on standard shoulder press by pressing with their elbows tucked in too much, arching their back, setting the bench at too low of an angle, etcetera.

literally stupid jfl just do standard shoulder press for less risk of injury, more stability and easier overall

Read the post faggot.

It’s dangerous if you don’t have the necessary shoulder mobility, and push through pain to do it anyway.

If you can do it without pain it’s not dangerous at all and fills out all the heads of your delt way better than standard shoulder press.

It feels plenty stable doing it seated with back support on a smith machine.

nigga why would u do an inferior exercise if a normal one is stable enough, easier to stick to, easier to keep ur form and other factors? all that i cited before is crucial for hypertrophy thus should be taken into consideration faggot

It’s not inferior because it gives you more side and rear delt stimulus which most people could benefit from more than extra front delt volume. You’re just yapping about some bullshit Jeff Nippard said without ever having tried the exercise and done it for an extended period of time. Show me what your physique looks like by the way.

why would i jfl. i think u should listen to someone with years of experience more then u and that actually uses science to backs up his claims instead of “muh i feel it better” “muh old school bodybuilders did that!”

u called me a faggot first jfl how am i the one raging? plus it’s been years since ive seen someone interesting enough to make my cortisol spike here, a low iq newgen isn’t going to pop up and change that. also yes i used since to back up my claim if you want rear delts isolate them with rear delt flies since isolating the muscle is ideal for hypertrophy, you can search up studies. also as i said 2x already and u just didn’t respond normal seated shoulder press have more stability, easier to keep a continuous form all throughout the exercise, when done correctly can hit it pretty well, and overall have more factors that contribute to hypertrophy when compared to what u say it’s better
 
could benefit from more than extra front delt volume
also jfl at you saying volume is king when instensity and frequency mogs
