If you don't lose too much strength getting them into position you probably could get a rep or two with 120s.

Is repping 120's for a rep or two good?

because its basically lockout work. If i done that i could use far more weight but the shoulders would be worked less.

Its from the clavicle to eye level when the shoulders are worked most.

Correct.  I started doing this after I saw that video of Wolf working his delts and it definatly isolates the delts.

alot of stupid remarks in this thread.   especially the ones about other peoples form.

get a grip. form is relative..what hits the muscle for one person might not hit the muscle for the other. insertion/attachment points.. path of motion... injuires in the past.. differences in alignment, and general differences in structure ... they all contribute to what constitutes "good form" for a certain individual

im fucking retarded and i know this stufff

makes me wonder abotu some of you guys





alex 275 on the military press thats fucking impressive dude !

exactly. if you're a PT and teaching some no-brainer how to do an exercise, teach them the 'correct' form - obviously for liabilities sake and to teach them what is considered correct and safe, so thats fair enough, but if you're an intermediate-advanced lifter then you know what makes you grow you know what is comfortable.

Your chest is between your arms where your head would be if they were shoulder presses, that means they are inclines. As a PT you should know this stuff, Josef.

It's not an incline press. If it were an incline, I would be looking up at the celing and you wouldn't see the back of the bench.
