im fine with btn presses due to background in oly lifting. and im pretty diligent with shoulder health and posture. but i def add in extra pulling stuff if i feel the need posture wise from time to time
Routine Thread
Any reason you do btn presses instead of normal ohp?
From what I've seen, oly lifters often have a weak chest, so your routine makes more sense with that extra background info.
should have mentions i do them with a grip close to snatch grip
Thoughts on my current workout?

Last set on barbell compounds is AMRAP
i have an ohp day, i do btn presses on my bench day. i find that i get a better response form my medial delts, and more trap and rear delt activation, which helps keep posture in check despite being a pushing movement
But the differences are so small.
Do you think it really matters?
Or is it just more of a preference thing?
its enough of a difference for me to notice. i think it can vary form person to person. so yes, a preference thing
10x3 with 60-90 sec rest between sets is godtier for hypertrophy
Yes, but I go extremely hard.
