@@WeluvOwen As it happens, I’ve been on a steady gym going bodybuilding quest the last year and nine months now. I’m the fittest I’ve ever been. I lapsed over the many years, but I found my wind during the pandemic. My coach is Braden Wuerch if you want to check out his channel. But yeah, I’ve put in a good deal of muscle and I’ve cut body fat. No visible abs just yet. It’s a slow recomp coming from 245 lbs obese at 5’9” and being very decidedly unathletic to start.
Man. That ending. A very dark man here. That smirk. Those eyes. There's a devious man behind the lens. There's darkness and chaos. There's insanity. 'See you guys.' This is why the thumbs up button got a push. Excellent. Thank you
I swear when ever I have questions about the form of an exercise, I type scott herman fitness and the exercise name and voila. Damn this guy is special. You're and excellent addition to the youtube fitness community scott!
I have been training for 2yrs and you should never ever think you know it all because this just proves watching a video for 2minutes will improve your growth and intelligence. Thank you Scott every time I go gym I make sure I check out the "How To" videos just to keep myself in check
Thanks for the video man, been doing presses on my own for a little while and it never even crossed my mind that you can extend the press for that full motion. A lot harder, but I can see how that will help with my mobility. Keep up the videos dude
@CortPE No CortPE, I have never claimed to know everything. In fact, I have often said that there are MANY variations of workouts and many varying techniques for the same exercises.
You are a great man. Keeping the video short, doesnt talk about nonsense for minutes but coming straight to the point and aiming to help his community. Subscribed 👍🏻👍🏻
Hey, i just wanna come back to this video to thank you. I really enjoy your videos and the movements are well explained. This video and the How To: Dumbbell Bent-Over Row video really got me started on my fitness journey and helped me understand these workouts. Keep up the good work, it is much appreciated.
It's wonderful that the camera operator gets real close, so that the athlete is cut off at the waste. I wouldn't be able to see the bar and the movement if the camera didn't get real close. I might get distracted and look at the athlete's feet, so it's a great help to me that the camera got real close.
@Proody1 doing that is good for your posterior/anterior delts. If you have a strong rotator cuff then definitely try them out, it's better to do them seated, and just don't go lower than the back of your head. Only certain body-types can go all the way down to the base of the neck without the possibility of tearing some shit up. A good rule is to never do any exercise where you're pushing/pulling something behind your neck, the risks far outweigh the benefits.
Reply Part 1 There are a number of various styles or types (names) for overhead presses. This video demonstrated basically a Regular Olympic Press which is a variation of the two hands Military Press. The major differences in the two lifts are the position of the feet and legs. In a Military Press the heels of feet are touching while the toe are pointing straight out or pointing out at a slight angle, and the legs are held ridge as is the entire body.
Thank you, I do in fact have a rotator cuff injury but don't currently have insurance to fix it. I have still been doing behind the neck presses but lowering the bar to the upper part of my head. I'll use this method and report back if I see results.
Thanks man! I had crap form on the OHP. I bent my wrists and supported the weight on my wrists instead of keeping them straight and I noticed a bad pain in my wrists. Good thing I saw this before it was too late.
Thanks for the info about consulting a Dr. before doing military press with a previous shoulder injury. I dislocated my shoulder a few years ago. Great Video.
Well done ! Just seen a guy on a Instagram reel . Turning this into a standing incline bench press . He needs to reduce his weight and stand straight up . Dangerous .
Short, sweet, and straight to the point. Can’t tell you how annoying it is when I’m trying to figure out an exercise and it takes 5 minutes for them to actually start the demonstration.
Super Saiyan 3 In this variation, I think its to maintain focus on intrinsic muscle activity [nuero-muscular focus]. If this was a sitting military press, it might function better doing as you state. As is, I can't really see too much error in his alignment. I will admit, though, technically speaking, what you're stating would be a totally perfect form.
I was taught to keep my shoulders packed in. That shrug you did at the end of the movement will load your neck shoulders in a vulnerable way. To avoid stiffness, push the bar overhead in line with ears. Not hatin' just don't want to see an injury.
As you say its to activate the trapezius (traps). In a standard overhead press lockout occurs with the bar behind your head, not like here in the MP where it is above your head. In the standard OP the shrug at the lockout stresses the traps even further = nice big and strong traps.
Thank you for this and other form videos. Have watched a few times and finally got the confidence to start this exercise.thwae videos are straight to the point and have been very useful. Thank you very much
The military press is characterized by having the heels together as in the position of attention. In general usage folks incorrectly call any kind of overhead press a military press.
what I like about his videos is, you get all the require info, well articulated in 2-3 mins. some fuckers would drag video on the same shit out for 10+mins
@neverBpeace7 I sure do! I am a BSN Athlete and currently take SYNTHA-6, AMINO-X, and N.O.-Xplode 2.0! I also use the decadence bars! :) Check them out!
Thank you for the advice of going all the way to the top to avoid chest muscles from tightening overtime! I tried it out today and the excercise felt so much better ! :)
@xHippieHunter why would I push my Hermanites to wear a belt? This exercise does put pressure on your core, but it is intended to help make your core stronger. If you feel the need to wear one, then do it. But that doesn't mean everyone has to.
Pushing "all the way to the top" seems both dangerous for your shoulders and a bit pointless as it doesn't activate your delts on the last part. What's your scientific basis for that technique, specifically the final "top" part?
No I got that too. I should have been more specific in my initial comment, but I was typing on my phone at the gym so I'm afraid quality suffered a bit. I should have specified that it's not simply about muscle activation (delts in this instance), but also injury prevention. A full range of motion is better maintained through stretching outside of weightlifting, not during. If you incorporate stretching movements into your lift, you risk severe joint injury and permanent ligament damage. In fact studies indicate that even stretching before and between sets heightens injury rates, which is fairly common knowledge. The reason it's so dangerous to push beyond the top, is that your stability drops exponentially the further you extend beyond the primary muscle's working range. As you near the end of the movement in this video, you have to activate other muscles than the delts to go further, as well as "unlock" your shoulders from their stable back+down position. This puts your shoulders in a fairly unstable position, without really giving you any clear benefit that I can see. This instability isn't too critical with low weights, but with military press you often get upwards of 100 lbs. Overloading your rotator cuffs at that weight can put you out of the gym for life, and is not something I would recommend. The only added benefit here is a slight activation of the trapezius, but if that's what you're after I'd just do some shrugs instead. Again, there might be some new scientific studies in this area that I'm not privy to, and if so I'd be interested to hear more about them. If not, I would recommend strongly against overextending at the top. It's likely not going to increase mobility, but it *will* put you at risk for serious injury.
Yeah. It doesnt actually give you more of a full range of motion, it is moving the Shoulders with the arm so all you are really doing is a shrug, working the traps
+Jimmy Two-Times A good range of motion is best achieved through static stretching by itself. Dynamic stretching during high load weightlifting is far less effective, and comes with a very high risk of injury. Stretch during reps at your own peril, I would advise *strongly* against it. As for incorporating a full body stretching routine before bed, that's a great idea. Being flexible significantly reduces the chance of injury, and as you say it's also a great relaxation exercise. Just refrain from stretching mid-lift xD.
The bar needs to go straight up, you need to move you head back, out of the way of the path, looks like you were moving the bar around your face, a lot of other videos on this say, that way isnt correct, Watch Alan Thrall's Video on this
Agreed. That's about the dumbest thing I've ever seen when it comes to execution, not to mention this guy's deadlift. My god. You shouldn't be training people, nor should you be making videos teaching people improper form. That shitfest of a movement you're showing is going to look much worse once you slap a plate on each side.
@thuhoan i know. full extension in almost never necessary. gets other muscles involved, removes tension, and is sometimes even unsafe. best pump is in the mid 70% of an exercise were thers tension.
Do you pick it up from the floor first or do you press from the rack? Benching without a rack robs you of a lot of strength picking it up from the floor but lots of people do overhead press by cleaning it first
That last phase of the movement is just scapular(shoulder blade) elevation with maybe slight upward rotation. It makes only the tiniest difference in maintaining glenohumeral(shoulder) range of motion. I believe doing this with a load would actually increase risk of injury. ROM can be worked on with specific ROM exercise.
A standard bar is 45 pounds by itself, depending on how strong you are an empty bar may already be more than enough for a beginner. It was for me, as I have a tall/small frame (I was 6'0 140 starting out) I'm 160 now and still train with no more than 60-70 pounds. 80+ pounds really kills my shoulders and from what I feel does more harm than good.
Reply Part 2 The Olympic Press the body is still held ridge but the feet may be up to 16 inches apart. Note both lifts start from the floor as does the Continental, and the lifts are either Cleaned or Anyhowed the bar to the chest - no rack no help. The only other thing I would mention is that Military, Olympic and Continental Presses are from the chest not the chin.
I hope no one will pick up the bar like this. Otherwise they'll be facing back injuries if there is some weight on it. Keep ityour back neurtal instead of bending forward. 1:05 just looks like trouble
Perfect! Intuitively and knowing good posture, had everything nailed.. But thanks for pointing out the full range of motion at the top! I will be watching that. Thanks for the video!
the point of shrugs is to activate the shoulder. The press alone will not contact the shoulder fully. The full range of motion literally tears muscle(that the whole point of full range of motion). Contraction is the key to muscle building
William zhang and you are completely wrong, not knowing anything about functional anatomy. Full range of motion of your shoulder ends with centrated shoulder/scapula. Another movement upwards is done by different muscles, whole scapula is moving upwards (with little to no change in deltoids). You are then loosing functional connection created by anterior and posterior oblique chains - serratus anterior si not transferring power and stability correctly, through ribcage, oblique abdominal muscles to your adductors and legs generally. Any higher load pushed above head in this manner is superwrong and could cause injuries in your shoulders, spine and another regions of your body. The only way to achieve power, safety and function in handstands and overhead presses is the way with fixed shoulder complex, not with upper trapezius and levator scapulae work, which might and will damage your cervical spine.
Jakub Misak Any movement at or behind your head will cause your supraspinatus (rotator cuff) to rub against your acromium (bone). After prolonged repetition it can cause injury. All shoulder exercises where you raise above your head should be done slightly in front of you to avoid this.

Super Saiyan 3 The bar is in front of him, Bro, but his body is still being held straight, abs tight. It's good form.

Don't listen to this guy. Shrugging at the top pulls the AC knobs away from the head of the humerus and protects your shoulders from impingement.
Thanks! I was never told about the pushing up bit after the arms are all the way up, so now I know my form will be much better!

I hope no one will pick up the bar like this. Otherwise they'll be facing back injuries if there is some weight on it. Keep ityour back neurtal instead of bending forward. 1:05 just looks like trouble
I mean he didn’t have weight on it, and I doubt a noob would be picking up more than 45 lbs on each side
Why he mentioned a rack
It's not heavy like that for him to cause damage.
Perfect! Intuitively and knowing good posture, had everything nailed..
But thanks for pointing out the full range of motion at the top! I will be watching that.
Thanks for the video!
who from ChatGPT?
same
🤣me
nice traps scott.
love this excercise btw, shoulders really blew up after I started doing it.
That smile..
"Cya guys..."
gay?
'Keep shoulders back' is what I was wondering, thanks.
Wouldn't you get to much trap involvement from the exaggerated elevation at the end of the press?? Too much shrug not enough press??
the point of shrugs is to activate the shoulder. The press alone will not contact the shoulder fully. The full range of motion literally tears muscle(that the whole point of full range of motion). Contraction is the key to muscle building
William zhang and you are completely wrong, not knowing anything about functional anatomy. Full range of motion of your shoulder ends with centrated shoulder/scapula. Another movement upwards is done by different muscles, whole scapula is moving upwards (with little to no change in deltoids). You are then loosing functional connection created by anterior and posterior oblique chains - serratus anterior si not transferring power and stability correctly, through ribcage, oblique abdominal muscles to your adductors and legs generally. Any higher load pushed above head in this manner is superwrong and could cause injuries in your shoulders, spine and another regions of your body. The only way to achieve power, safety and function in handstands and overhead presses is the way with fixed shoulder complex, not with upper trapezius and levator scapulae work, which might and will damage your cervical spine.
Jakub Misak Any movement at or behind your head will cause your supraspinatus (rotator cuff) to rub against your acromium (bone). After prolonged repetition it can cause injury. All shoulder exercises where you raise above your head should be done slightly in front of you to avoid this.
Jakub Misak That was supposed to be for Blair.
Jakub Misak Thanks for the insight. Knew it was wrong, wasn't sure of the exact mechanics. Appreciated!!
It does make you more stable. Feet apart is shoulder press. Which is why military is harder, as it works your core more.
Have been doing this shit wrong my whole life...
hahahahaha
Don't worry, so is the guy in the video.
i had notice on youtube many guys teach wrong
@@cuteboyvirat6879 So which one is correct ?
@@arjunk5959 The one where you keep your spine straight and you move head back out of way of bar.
@AceurFace11 sure, with plate on the legs? Is that what you mean my friend?
Youre so handsome Scott!
EMG-studies have clearly shown that in most excercises its: Dumbell > barebell > Cable > machines
get a shirt
go fuck urself hater, no reason
to hate this guy
Ohhhhhhhh the envy.
ye ye fuck yo yo yo iam so cool yo i train without da shirt yo iam da hater
come on seriously.. i like his videos because of the way he talks for example.. i just think it's not necessary for him to be shirtless
I know your comment is a joke, but who will trust him if he hides his body under his shirt?
Solid. No wasted time.
You talk like someone who forgot to take their earplugs out.
Wow, this was actually a really informative video. Good job, Scott!
that's not the proper way to do a OHP
I like this video because he gets straight to the point.
