I agree with this video and the comments about some having weak rear delts. For that 3 -D look work rear delts !
-
Ive always been a big overhead presser and thought it did a lot for shoulders but as I get older I do less pressing overhead and focus on laterals and have always done a ton of rear delt work and I feel those two do more for the look of the shoulders.

Yeah itīs about full mellon delts.

You don't need to squat or press or deadlift to be a bodybuilder.
To be a bodybuilder you only need to do isolation exercises.
Compound moves are not necessary.
To be strong is another matter.

I used to love front Barbell press but with incline Benches itīs overkill on my joints. Side , rear raises, shrugs ..thatīs it. sometimes wide grip upright rows for side delts

Everything that prevents your rotator cuff to tear is a good investment.
-
Bigger rear delts seem to push the medial delts forward and out a bit, they definitely make them look bigger, especially from the side and even from the front. Not to mention the beneficial effects on shoulder health

Yeah makes the Delts look Bigger, Thicker & 3-D :)

the delts raise the arms horizontal, they are not designed to push over your head
Fucks sake read an anatomy book and look at the insertion points

Ahhh.... Doug Brignole is that you? :D

But yeah ... side raises are what the Delts do :) my Delts are much better since i changed my routine. no more shoulder strains.

bench press is the only press excercise you need for delts

Yeah.. inclines or Dips really hit delts. I know one idiot who still does behind the neck press on the smith machine. ??? ::)

Trivia...
People that do only bench press are weak overhead pressers. Benching does not carry over well to overhead pressing.
However, good overhead pressers are usually decent bench pressers.
Benching was used as an assistance exercise by oly lifters many years ago to strengthen the triceps for pressing.
Strongmen concentrate on overhead pressing since it is a big part of the sport.
Bodybuilding is about looks, not strength so machines and isolation movements are adequate.
Many incredibly strong Oly lifters look like they never trained, especially since the press was discontinued.

Yeah i know all this but the simple fact is the shoulders are in a poor mechanical position in the overhead press. Not saying people have not got strong on using OHP.

Wrong.
You are parroting what you read on the interwebs.
Flat bench pressing is a shoulder wrecker if overdone.
Overhead pressing develops a balanced shoulder girdle.

bearing in mind the body is designed to pushs away from itself, including the floor if you fall over then the only way bench press would ruin shoulders is fuckwits using way too much weight
as I said before the shoulder structure isnt designed to lift things overhead, we have no need to do it in nature

Of course we need to lift things overhead.
Man has been lifting things overhead for his entire existence.
How do you think man has built things?
People that bench a lot get rounded over shoulders from excessive front delt work.
The preponderence of rotator cuff injuries with weight trainers did not occur until the flat bench press became popular.
The creation of new exercises to "cure" bench press injuries is a result of rotator cuff problems due to flat benching.

Do any exercise 1 000s of times over years with the over load principle..adding weight then of course there is wear & tear in the joints. Look at old people hip replacements & most never used a gym. I know a guy who is around 50 & has had both hips replaced. Is he a bodybuilder...nope a runner. :)

Look at the anatomy of the shoulder joint. Look at its range of motion & then look at the position in an overhead press . The Behind the neck press is really at the very limit of the joint, add weight...impingment waiting to happen.

Good points, Swifty and JTR.

I actually used to love doing seated machine presses for shoulders. Itīs just (for me) along with incline BB press too much for my shoulders. :'(

Doing them all on the same day is a lot for the shoulders.

light, limited range of motion behind-the-neck presses are a great delt exercise. Upper arm shouldnt go past parallel w the ground (so about level w the ears) and don't lockout to keep the tension on the delts.
I get a great pump w these, way more than I ever did w overhead press but I make no claims about safety.

no he hasnt, we have the same shoulder anatomy as apes, he started walking upright but our shoulders remained the same
We pull towards ourselves we push things away, we also use our back to climb und pull things downwards
Go watch apes in the wild, they almost never lift things over their heads

Can see it in certain jobs. Painters for example. I know a few who have had or have problems as they have to paint overhead for relatively long periods. Now a monkey or ape might pick some berries off a branch but not for hours like a painter. here is the problem. Gravity plays a role too.

I like 'em too, they actually helped to open back up my frozen/scarred shoulders and improved all of my pressing movements (bench, etc).
Very slow/controlled negative of course, and only go as low as what feels good. Back of the head, mid-level, etc.
-
lifting or working overhead goes against gravity. think about it. Raise your arm overhead & with a weight you are increasing gravity pulling against you 100 plus times. Itīs logical . arms lower is simply less stress for your neck, shoulders.
-
all lifting goes against gravity. :-\

Yeah but depending on your arm position it can be harder or lighter same as a lever.

I'd like to debate this further but need to post in a Bhanky thread.

If you need to press your luck, or see someone else pressing their luck, the Bhanky threads are the place to be ;D

I got the idea watching a Mike Libratore(sp) video years ago. I agree with you 100%. Haven't tweaked or strained anything since switching to these.

Trained my delts today. front,side,rear raises till my delts were twitching ...total failure. :)

You're asking for trouble, bro.

I still do Seated Bradford Presses, they feel great and I get a great pump.
To each his own.
