press behind the kneck

Fiba · 01-08-2005, 07:14 PM

Iv had 2 cortisone injections in my right shoulder and surprisingly enough pressing behind the neck is much less painfull than infront (i know this is rare though).

For rear delts i find that using cables streched out infront of my face at eye level and then pulling out to the side and down to ass level works great . sort of a reverse cable crossover type thingy

[/sounds more like cheating to me, resting between reps is for wimps. lol]

any more than 1rep at a time seems alot like hard work.

Dont underestimate the power of rest between reps

I found this out the hard way, I was out of training for around 3 weeks after pulling my rotator cuff doing these. Luckily it healed, but in many people these injuries are very long-lasting.

press behind neck has been in my routine from my very first workout and i've never had a problem from them. i think it depends on the individual as to how prone to injuries from certain exercises you are.
