DO NOT press behind your head!!!!!. It puts your joints in an un-natural position

Cheers... I need an alternative then, hmmm.
MercNil... That link does not look like a shoulder routine. I need those melons.

It isn't, it's a full body routine. Hehe, I posted it because you wanted shoulders like him, which he got from doing a fbw.  Maybe our fellow mates will share their shoulder secrets. |

Pressing behind the head has helped me alot actually. Have you got any scientific source for that statement? |

There's nothing special about this routine. If you'll be aiming and intending to press 20 reps pretty much in a row in each set, you'll be using pretty light weights, what good is that going to do?

Actually, the delts are small. They can provide a lot power working together, but for instance a side raise is very humbling with proper form. So in order to stimulate it, when your shoulder isn't very strong like mine, using a small weight will initiate growth. At least I think it will.
Also, I hardly ever got doms in my delts, xept when I had done various overhead chores in the house, like screwing in ceiling plates. Not saying doms are needed, but heck, my body doms all the time, maybe cuz I'm an old fart.
And, my left shoulder is a lot weaker strength wise and the right injures fast. So light weight will help me build a good base for doing more.
Last but not least, I do like strength, but my main goal is sculpting my body into something better.
But thanks for all input! I can at least try behind the neck with a barbell only.

overhead press- with barbell alternate from standard to behind the head also throw in dumbbells for a greater ROM
upright row- i switch up grip from narrow and wide
side raise- i will do them standing or lying on side
rear fly
this is pretty much my shoulder routine right now, plus or minus some front raises...maybe.

you can always try the behind the neck shoulder press
my shoulders are really inflexible behind the neck so i can't do them or behind the neck pull-ups/downs
my routine - my shoulders seem to be a strong point of mine
4x4-6 DB overhead press
3x8-10 Wide grip upright row
3x8-10 Cable RDR

Cheers. Just tried with an empty EZ bar (only bar I have)... Could do it, felt fine.
Did hit myself on the head with the middle curve, ouch.
Only tried a few reps of each and I already feel that after a workout feel. Gonna be a challenge to do the complete workout.

Behind the neck press just depends on the person. I would agree with Goose that it feels very unatural but some swear by it, e.g. Reg Park, and his shoulders were awesome.  |
