Anyone got any tips on how to maintain healthy shoulders?

>behind the neck with light weight
Opinion discarded.

He's right though.

BTN pressing is good for shoulder mobility, provided (and this is the important bit) you don't try to force it while having shitty mobility. That will tear your shit up pretty fast. But it works just fine for maintaining/increasing already decent mobility.

Okay, if light weight means just the bar maybe yeah... i.e. basically a stretch. But anything beyond that is just unnecessarily risky.

Just search up shoulder band work and warm up your ohp with the bar and 60% 1rm

Unfortunately there are currently no exercises which focus on the shoulders.

That depends.

BTN pressing isn't like standard upright rows where the movement itself is completely fucked up even if you have no mobility issues. It's mostly a victim of the fact that fucking everybody these days is kyphotic with zero shoulder mobility and it's a movement that does not play nice with restricted shoulder ROM.

If you have that mobility, you can generally BTN press with no more issue than with strict pressing. I still wouldn't go balls-out heavy on it because there's really no point, but moderate weight sets aren't inherently dangerous.

>mfw ive snapped my left shoulder for the 4th time this year

i'm NEVER doing dumbbell presses again, back to the bar

what's wrong with seated ohp?

>back to the bar
don't. trust me

>violent arm circles
Are those torture devices?

allows more weight so more risky

handstand shoulder press

Do twice as much back/pulling work as pressing. A strong back and rear delts are absolutely critical to shoulder health -- if you can't keep your scapulae retracted and your shoulders completely tucked and solid through a press, you're putting them in extreme danger.

AKA how to lose gains

Overhead Deadlift & Squat Press

btn press
upright rows
laterals raises with thumbs pointed towards the floor

spoken like some one with garbage bench form.

>upright row
>literally shoulder snapper: the exercise

Yeah this is a good step, hit every part of the delt, also do shoulder dislocations and I've had good results in terms of retraction doing some behind the neck work

Nothing is wrong with seated OHP if your form is solid

>thinking btn press is always bad
Dyel

Don't overdo them and remember that you use shoulders for chest work as well (which I didn't and strained one through overtraining)

Dumbbells are healthier than barbell for OHP, and don't go too low or else you'll put all the pressure and awkwardness on your tendons

muscle balance is the most important for shoulder health. Most retards that do 8 different press movements to their 1 back movement, end up with overdeveloped anterior deltoids so they are more prone to injury

I tried this and now I have no shoulders. They're just gone. Did I do it right?

Don't lift.

fucking lol

Is a 150lb 10rep max for OHP good?
I started doing OHP back in April but have been working out for 18 months.

Novice will an unstable shoulder.

Is this okay? What should I add to it?

3x10 presses in the shoulder press machine for Ant Delts

3x10 Lat pull downs for lats and post delts

3x10 pull ups and 3 x10 chins (rotating)

3x10 dumbbells bent-over rows

I don't have the stability for OHP due to shoulder injury, but any addition/subtraction you can think of would be great.

What's the best exercises to seriously improve my rear delts?

I didn't do any rear delt work for most of my time in the gym, but I've started doing face pulls, and rear delt flyes on the pec deck.

is this a shoulder day routine? bcuz you better have really far ahead shoulders if this is all you do for them on a fullbody day

I bet you were doing that dumb "90 degrees with elbows flared to the sides" version.

Shoulder and back day.

If it's harder it's usually better
>n-no homo

Don't take swimming or water polo as a sport

Bar is safer since you aren't forced to swing the weights into the proper position.
>inb4 dyel
you try swinging up 90s on your last set safely.

For the majority of people it is.

See first reply

Overhead carries are great for building shoulder stability with low risk of injury. Can be done with barbells, dumbbells, kettlebells, or any heavy object.

>not getting the entire post

Work your fore arms. I was having shoulder pain until i tried isolating my fore arms after a body building buddy of mine told me it would work for shoulder pain.
It works

>shoulder and back day
>anything "day"

Just do SS OR SL.
