Getting back to the original Carmello post of exercises that should be banned: That list would include three of my favorite and most result producing movement and minus any injury throughtout the training years. Bent arm Pullovers (DB's) a upper body mass builder which affects the lat's, triceps, pec's and ab's mainly. DB's tend to give a more natural hand position . Adding a bench press off the chest to the movement after each rep of pullovers gives evey more influence on the pec's, delts & triceps. By all means use heavy weights. Even a improvement in the muscle attachments of the chest and the rib box it's self, in younger trainee's, can improve and give a fuller feeling to the chest. Using 160-185 DB's is not out of the question for higher rep pullovers (12-18).
PBN's which get blamed for a lot of shoulder injuries, weither true or not. Problem being that most guy's do not warm up enough and/or have not much flexability in the shoulder girdle area to begin with. Lowering the bar too far down the back (just touch the middle trap 's) and having too wide a hand grip (have just about a 90 degree angle to the elbows/arms when pressing) can give problems. Start the PBN from the bottom(slight pause) rather than the top and not bouncing the bar off the shoulder area on the way down. PBN's are a great delt width builder when done right and can even help with your BP'ing. (260-280lbs 6-9 reps, so far)
UP-right rows are a prime muscle builder for the laterial (and lesser degree, the posterior delts) & traps. Also affect the biceps/forearms. I favor a Olympic E-Z bar for less stress on the wrist. For some, the problem may be holding the grip too wide and raising the bar too far away from the body during the lift.Can affects the shoulder in a negative manner for some. Pull to a little above the upper chest. Either way the up-right row and the PBN can give extra thick delts and broad shoulder improvement. When you have to buy larger shirts at the fat man's shop (even though your not fat) and a normal doorway makes you turn a little sideways to get through than you know that these exercises work well for you. (220-245 for 6-9 rep still go well for me)
I'm 33 and have been training with serious intent for 17 years now with out any major problems with the above favorite lift's. Being 6'2 at 235 with a large, wide frame, the joint's are still holding up well. Good Luck.
