I honestly think doing this light weight high rep is great for shoulder. I was having mild shoulder pain from side sleeping. Doing behind the necks, 3 sets of 15 reps leaving a few reps on the floor (no fail) have done wonders for my shoulder pain.

Thank you guys for calling this out and it may be the most important thing that keeps a man in good posture and mobility. Not to be too philosophical but avoidance of this is not just in the name of supposed safety, it is key to what makes a man look like a man, strong shoulders. No one can debate that society has discouraged masculinity lately.

One of the very, if not THE best compound exercises for shoulder external rotation. An absolute must in your exercise armoury

[@edwinbradford]

The most informative video I've seen on this subject, very helpful, thanks guys.

[@dylanashcroft890]

I started doing this and I was amazed by how easy it was. I might be one of those people who just naturally has good shoulder mobility but it makes me wonder if people are told not to do this to remove competition considering it’s vastly superior to other vertical pressing according to emg studies.

I’m jealous of your shoulder mobility

I do this leaning forwards with head forwards when sitting on bench. Targets middle delt so well. I do wide grip for better shape.

Great video. Behind the neck press should be in everyone's arsenal.

[@therockakaada6109]

Kevin levrone the man with the greatest shoulders ever , says this is the best exercise for shoulders, period, end of discussion!!!

@@Xilladan093 "Behind the neck presses are one of the best shoulder-building exercises there is, and it used to be a staple among bodybuilders from the 50s up to the early 80s. It's the most effective pressing exercise for overall shoulder development. This is found both in the trenches and in the lab. Among the three main pressing options - barbell press from the front, behind the neck barbell press, and dumbbell press - the behind the neck press has a significantly greater activation of all three heads of the delt. And there's no doubt that the behind the neck press is superior to the barbell military press (seated or standing). It's not even close. When comparing the standing versions of behind the neck presses with dumbbell presses, the dumbbell press hits more of the anterior delt, but the anterior delt is usually over-stimulated with all the bench pressing we do. And when comparing the seated versions of the behind the neck press and the dumbbell press, once again, the behind the neck press is the clear winner. Someone with a normal posture and no shoulder mobility issues should have no problem doing the behind the neck press safely. There are only two kinds of people who will have problems: 1.Those with a pronounced kyphosis (a rounded upper back and hunched shoulders). 2.Those with pre-existing shoulder mobility issues. If you're unable to do the behind the neck press comfortably, that's a sign you should work on shoulder mobility. In fact, the behind the neck press is a good diagnostic tool to see how functional your shoulders are. It's not the exercise that's the problem. It's the fact that it can highlight pre-existing shoulder issues. If you add it to your training, make sure that you don't lack mobility or have a shoulder injury. Start light until you find your groove. Olympic lifting powerhouse, Dmitry Klokov, for one. He does it in various forms: wide grip, narrow grip, strict, and with a push. Many even call the wide-grip behind the neck press a Klokov press. Klokov once suffered a serious shoulder injury attempting a 265-270 kg jerk from the racks in training. Afterward he started to emphasize various overhead pressing movements. Now, if a lifter who suffered a severe shoulder injury can do behind the neck presses with over 315 pounds, that's a sign that if you have proper mobility it's a not an inherently dangerous exercise. Paul Carter is a monster presser, having done 365 pounds in the strict behind the neck press. Paul has a permanently separated shoulder. Despite that, he can still handle monster weights in the behind the neck press. Ted Arcidi, one of the first to officially bench press 700 pounds, used the behind the neck press as his main upper body builder. He too was able to handle hefty loads without compromising his shoulders. Maybe it's time for you to re-think the behind the neck press too." by Christian Thibaudeau

To the person or the people who have uploaded this tutorial on youtube thanks very much. This would help me a lot when i am working in the gym.

When do we inhale while doing behind the neck press ?

[@SuperValdez7]

On the negative

[@clansymbiont8688]

Use a tricep extension bar. It will clear the head and keep your shoulders from injury.

[@richardspicer4738]

Excellent idea man!! At least for me it is anyway as my hands fall perfectly right into the spot where the bends on the bar are. Granted I’m under 6 ft. I don’t know how it would be for a guy over 6 ft.

[@joedimaggio3687]

@AlbertaStrength I screwed up my labrum from doing it and I did this exercise for years before I got hurt. All the orthopedic surgeons I spoke to about this exercise say the same thing that it's dangerous because it's an unnatural movement. Stop doing it because sooner or later you will badly screw up your shoulder.
