damn the bber at the gym was right all along
and people in the first replies thought it was a joke
I can only speak for myself. For me, press behind the neck is an awesome trap exercise and an average shoulder exercise. For many, it's the opposite. Depends on each individual. But then again, I have always responded differently to traditional exercises than what's considered the norm. For example, bench press makes my front delts and triceps grow crazy big and strong, but chest growth is average at best when I focus on bench press. To get my chest to catch up, I do heavy flies. I have certain body parts that just want to take over. Traps take over when pressing upright. Shoulders and triceps take over when pressing prone. It's always been that way. Just how my body is. Another example is that my calves grow better from cycling on my bike then from traditional calf exercises, which is weird, but just how it is. My calves are huge and ripped in the summer months when I am out cycling during the week, and I don't do any direct calf training in the summer at all. In winter months, my calves lose a half and inch or so in size, and that's because I'm not cycling. So in my case, traditional calf training is not beneficial as something such as cycling, which is not really something you consciously do for the purpose building calves, you do it for recreation.
