Thats a doubt. Kind of like squats-legs, bench-chest, OHP- delt. Side raising 45lb dbells wont compare to pressing 100 lb dbells ever. Both r key, but say pick one and its OHP for me
there are plenty of people who report increased gains since stopping OHP.
btw OHP wrecks your joints, no matter how you do them.
ive pressed shoulder pressed 100lb DBs for 5 or so reps when i was still doing OHP. only added 1-2 isolations here and there.
had shit delts. they were always one of the hardest growing bodyparts for me.
havent done a single OHP movement for a year and my delts look 10x better now. they actually stand out.
isolations only. 10-15 sets front/side/rear db/cable raises twice a week. massively improved gains
and i use fucking low weight for these. like 25lbs max. high reps, squeeze these fuckers.
oh and by the way, bench is shit for chest too
on t-nation (inb4 t-nation sucks) they measured muscle fiber activaton via EMS for delt movements and OHP was shit. best movements were side raises and some band-resistance stuff as far as i remember.
same with chest, guillotine press was best. i prefer DBs over BB for chest. cable cross is the best movement though if u ask me.
