Nice workout today. The squat form looks good, maybe with a wider stance you could go an inch lower or so.

Cool, I'll keep that in mind for next Monday. Thx!

Question on Standing BB Press - Behind The Neck.

Do you guys think this is a good mass building exercise for the shoulders? I'm having a hard time gaining on reps & weight
and don't really ever feel a good pump or soreness in the delts. Thinking about keeping the press but doing it in the front
and not behind the neck.

If not what would you suggest? I prefer free weights.

I wouldnt suggest it unless your confident in your rotator cuffs. High reps only, and dont take it lower than ear level, and level a quarter of the ROM off at the top, not full lockout. Keep the tension on and reduce the weight youre using.


For your squats, you need to learn how to sit into it, as if your putting your ass in a low chair. Widen the stance, and practice a LOT. Stretch your hips and groin, so your depth isnt limited by your flexibility.

By leg drive, I just mean popping the legs to get the weight up. Its a great way to overload the shoulders.

Makes sense about the Behind The Neck press, never had a rotator cuff issue before, but might just change out to pressing in the front.

Thx for the squat input - next time around I'll widen my stance and go lower.

My gym has three step platforms and I used to use one when I squatted. It sat perfectly at parallel. I would go until I touched it then back up. Sometimes, I would go lighter, touch and pause then go back up. Another thing I've done before is squat down normal then go up and down three times (about 10") in the bottom position then back up. It's a deep burn so be careful.

As a specialist of body movement, i give you my advice !

Standing millitary press to the front and to the neck work basically the same muscle. One can result in serious injury to your neck and scapula muscle. The other is perfectly safe, providing you keep your elbows directly to the ground and not behing you.



It's much safer and as effective to the front. Nice form on squat by the way.
