Don't get too deep on the negative...does your shoulder hurt on the first press and get better with the following ones? Shoulder presses with free weights can be gruesome so I started going back with machines and a little lighter weight to keep the pressure down. My front delts are a strong point and grow very easily though so I don't have to work them as much as side or rest delts though.Hey guys, any tips on doing db presses/arnold presses? My shoulders seem to make cracking/clicking noises when I do them, so I don't want to increase the weights in case it's a form issue on my end.
Opposite of that actually, starts out fine but starts clicking the more reps I do. It kinda makes me paranoid! What do you think about just switching it up with seated barbell press with varying grips instead? I'm also trying to target my rear delts a lot more because they are lacking big time.Don't get too deep on the negative...does your shoulder hurt on the first press and get better with the following ones?

I would stay away from presses for a while. If you decide to do them use a hammer strength or something similar but not Smith machine. Your front delts get a good workout from a lot of other movements so taking presses out won't be the end of the world. Use the recovery time to focus on side and rear delts more. Bent over flys. Face pulls. Reverse pec deck. Side Laterals. Heavy partials.Opposite of that actually, starts out fine but starts clicking the more reps I do. It kinda makes me paranoid!

Very good. Going to pick your brain a bit more if you dont mind, but what are heavy partials? And should those be done with multiple sets as well?I would stay away from presses for a while.

I normally do four sets after side laterals to really exhaust the delts. Here is a video of themVery good. Going to pick your brain a bit more if you dont mind, but what are heavy partials? And should those be done with multiple sets as well?
They rock. Make sure to use heavy weight. Straps help take the forearms out of the movement.These look good, will give them a go.. thanks Montego
Will do, thanks for the tip regarding straps too...They rock. Make sure to use heavy weight. Straps help take the forearms out of the movement.
Lol nice work Jeff! I hope I can still pull girls in their 20s when I'm in my 40s!B]4/11/13
ok so I stopped off and saw a my sometimes workout partner for a few minutes and then went in to train. Ok well she met me at the gym as she was near by. Anyhow we Bs'd for a couple minutes and then she had to bail. I get inside the gym "24 hour" Go change from my work clothes to my workout stuff. Come get on the treadmill to warm up. There was this girl who I have to admit was pretty damn cute. But too young. Maybe late 20's early 30's anyway. She is staring me down like she wanted to get it on. I was like hmm weird. I finish my warm up and go work shoulders She follows. I get half way through my workout and she walks up and says I would not mind one bit if I can see more of that. I was like huh? She said look in the mirror I look and my friend thought it would be a good idea to stick part of his head out of a hole in my shorts. I was not wearing anything under my shorts as I was going to go into the sauna afterwards. She continues to talk to me the rest of the workout. I was like I am sorry dear but let me finish my session. Then maybe we can talk. She walks off and I finish up. Was I embarrassed no. But was very thankful he didn't wake up. I go change and come out of locker room and she goes hey will you be here tomorrow. If so lets go eat after your workout. I would like to do something now but I have to go to work. All I could do is shake my head.... Geez.
