Push pressing is much easier on my shoulders too. My elbows are healthy again after almost ruining them performing upright rows. Terrible lift.Back on topic- I generally include OHP_ only because I suck at it- If I had my druthers- I would do a push press- I prefer it to OHP. For several reasons- it's easier on my effed up elbows/shoulders and I can control my lordosis a little better- rather than winding up pushing with more back then leg as it gets heavier.
Until I messed up my bicep tendon, push pressing was my primary upper body lift (as in, the one I liked to do the most - and therefore cared about the most!)
I'm hoping that now I'm starting to heal up (testify!) I can rotate it back in again in a few months.

It's like a happy surprise gift being able to do a lift again that you hadn't been able to do for awhile because of injury or whatnot. That's how I feel about pressing again too.nakedraygun wrote: »

Sure is!
I've basically started by adding in some dumbbell push press/jerks after my main bench work. If I can tolerate it for a month or two and am steadily making gains then I'll have a bash with the barbell again. I think that once I get to about half-bodyweight with the dumbbell, then I'm in a good spot...0 -

I will 100% NOT do that lift. EVER.
Upright rows are just torture for me- so for that stuff- I do lateral and front lifts- but not up right rows. getting bigger shoulders aren't worth it.0 -

The one I never do is lunges of any variety. They always seem to F up my quads and knees. That's one that's not worth it for me.0 -
Other than the some kind of overhead pushing lift, I don't directly train lateral or anterior delts any longer -- they get enough work acting in assistance. (I will do band pulls on them for warm-up and inter-set stretching.)nakedraygun wrote: »

The only other direct work I do on my delts are rear delts flyes. Totally old video here...

my goal is bigger shoulders- so I've been doing a super set twice a week. usually monday and friday. And it's two separate lifts (front plate raise w/ twist + straight lateral raise) and then the next one is on the bench incline front lat raise (that weird eat the bench one) with reverse fly's. and yeah- totally with funny faces- I make a lot of funny faces. whatever- shoulders shall grow. I COMMAND YOU TO GROW!!! its' one of my few "vain" lifts that I really am not happy with over all on my body- so I spend a little bit of time with them.
I go back and forth on those- it just depends - sometimes my left patella feels tweaky- so I just drop them if I'm not feeling well.The one I never do is lunges of any variety. They always seem to F up my quads and knees. That's one that's not worth it for me.0 -
I was fortunate in that regard. As a kid, my grandfather use to say I was a "little man" because my shoulders were pretty broad. But other than that, all I did for year after year after years was just a high rep giant set of dumbbell lateral and front raises and the rear delt flyes preceded by a press, usually behind the neck military press (and on the smith machine) which gave me all the growth I needed. But everybody's different.my goal is bigger shoulders- so I've been doing a super set twice a week. usually monday and friday.

Hitting them a couple times a week is a good idea. I want to develop my upper and middle back more, as well as my traps so I am hitting rack pulls with a shoulder shrug at the top twice a week. Figured pick an accessory that crossovers to my deadlift.0 -

first, this is hot even with the crazy faces. Just sayin.
second, how heavy are those dbs? I did these yesterday and I won't mention how light mine were, but yours don't look much bigger...so maybe I'm not as weak as I felt.0 -

Amazing lifting face. You look a lot like LAbeast btw (check out his youtube channel if you've never seen it - skippy62able is the name). Like a less dumb/meathead version anyway.0 -
Did push presses today for the first time. Damn... Those are hard.
Was only able to get 155. Shoulders were already a bit fatigued. Some of you SOBs are strong. Will try again on Monday.0 -

You haven't seen my deadlift face then....
Probably around 15 or 20 lbs. but for high reps. Now I'll hit them with in the 50 to 70 pound range but when I made that video I was still getting back in shape. I just hit them Tuesday with 35 lbs, but will increase that when I finally get back on program next week.0 -

Yeah I guess sorta look like him, probably because I am only just a less looking dumb/meathead version of him.

Probably around 15 or 20 lbs. but for high reps. Now I'll hit them with in the 50 to 70 pound range but when I made that video I was still getting back in shape. I just hit them Tuesday with 35 lbs, but will increase that when I finally get back on program next week.
<--- weak. Confirmed. Mine were 10s for high reps. In my defense, my shoulders aren't as ginormously beautiful. Lol keep up the good work!0
