What exercises do you guys do for shoulders? Just tryin to get a few new ones to add to my current routine
i dont know about the neck specifically but bnp put your shoulder in an unnatural position. it contributed to a rotator cuff tear for me leading to surgery. so i never, ever do any behind the neck exercise, including bnp lat pull downs. i do mil presses, db presses, arnold presses.i've heard that behind the neck motions are bad for your neck...anyone else hear that?
I injured my rotator cuff exactly like this. Took a long time to heal; but at least did not require surgery. I no longer do behind the neck press, and in fact, don't go real heavy on regular military press. I like some hammer strength machines better than others. If I was going to do behind the neck press, it would only be on a machine like the one destro uses.i dont know about the neck specifically but bnp put your shoulder in an unnatural position. it contributed to a rotator cuff tear for me leading to surgery. so i never, ever do any behind the neck exercise, including bnp lat pull downs. i do mil presses, db presses, arnold presses.
dont forget the rear delts...
Excuse my ignorance, but what is this excercise? i've never heard of it.you guys should add 2-3 sets of cuban rotations, very good exercise for the rotator cuffs to keep your shoulders healthy

the only thing i hate about them is that people use them as a cruch instead of an aid. like the 160lb guy who loads up 4 plates and raises it 2 in then slams it down for 10 reps. then he has the nerve to get up an breathe hard and look aroung to see who was watching.Damn I hate strength hammer machines
Arnold , Military , Cleans and Dumbell Presses, compound all the way baby!
odd, that is exactly what I do.Originally posted by John Benz
I do:
lateral raises for middle delt
bent over laterals for rear delt (overlooked by many as msclbldrguy pointed out.)
military press for front delt
one set each of DB side/front/rear delt laterals with 20-30 second plate "wheelies" at end of each set.
