Chin, although throat shouldn't be a problem

Yes, I'd class that as a high incline. For what it's worth, I also always go to the clavicle/throat with these.

i use dumbells and i go all the way down untill they touch my shoulders, and press all the way up, just short of lock out. doing shoulder press, whether dumbell or barbell, on a slight incline will allow more weight to be used and is safer for the shoulder joint/rotator cuff when going very heavy. it does not really activate too much chest, it mainly shifts some of the tension that would be on the side delt when upright, unto the front delt when on a slight incline.

So you're saying you 'deep throat'?

its a waste of effort to go last the nose or chin with these.

anyone who has ever had rotator cuff niggles would know that there is strength and stability from chin/nose up and down, and hell on earth from that point to the clavicle.

its also mechanically disadvantageous in that range and you cant lift anywhere near as much as chin upwards..meaning you waste energy and effort and then the weight is too light for the upper portion of the movement- where the delts are actually really involved.

but, as usual, the pros dont need to do anything correctly or safely, as long as they take enough drugs to grow then the cause and apparent effect is there.

if anyone doubts this, do some homework and look up where the insertions are and study the mechanics for yourself, also note the planes of forces involved etc etc..

this isnt opinion, its fact.

I go to my clavicles.

More shoulder muscles are stimulated when you press from clavicle. The closer to lockout the less shoulders and more tricep.

This. I need to go much narrower for the deep rom, but with a fairly narrow grip there's no pain at all. Wider grip then yeah I'd go to chin or slightly higher.

When the bar is at my clavicles my forearms are parallel. I also like to tuck my elbows in. Helps lift more weight.

to be fair I don't think I have ever seen someone put their head back as far as scentofpanties, I don't even know if that is more on the end of chest training than shoulders.

odd way of doing them for sure. There are videos of him doing 315 in better form...

3 x 120x 12......I don't believe in pressing with a straight bar except with bench press and squats (I know..not a press)
