- not just an alternative exercise because you already have a shoulder injury

- easier on the joints.. good. do more weight, do more reps. rest shorter.. etc.

- the big compounds already tax the lower back. no need to take it easy on shoulder work because the standing DB press uses a lot of lower back too. seated ftw

- been doing 20s everyday on most strong days for months now.  not a single shoulder joint tightness.

- forget the BD press.. if you can DB shoulder press it.. you'd most likely be able to DB press it too. not the other way around.

I am interested in this. I feel the back stress with standing bb ohp and i am still girly weak, max is sth like 100lbs*8. In the push-press 5 reps with ~120lbs really stressed my lower back.
How about setting up? I dumped incline db press exactly because it became too much of a pain in the ass to setup when i reached using ~60lbs dbs

it's the biggest trick in the run game.. go slow to go fast. it doesn't make sense until it smacks you in the face and you're like ....... wtf?

I've been looking for a bit of extra shoulder work because of all the heavy bench I've been doing. L shoulder sometimes feels a little sore next day. Might work some of these in.

For my whole life I barely had any delts. My triceps would always take over the movement (also barely had pecs for this reason as well).

Anyone else experience this?


FWIW:

So what I did was STOP overhead pressing and only do lateral raises. Train the triceps less.
Also did wide grip on bench to focus more on pecs and less on triceps.

Result: pecs are now one of my BEST body parts, and my upper arms are bigger than my tris/bis now.
