    The advice about not locking out the arms is the most helpful part of this video. Keeps the tension on the shoulder and allows you to do better, cleaner reps that feel so much better.

    • @Boti98HUN
      @Boti98HUN 4 месяца назад

      Sometimes more is less! People confuse range of motion with constant tension on the target muscle. Keep in mind shoulders are extremely small muscles which do not need full range of motion to fill up with blood

    I've been the type that does the clicking of the dumbbells at the top. I trained shoulders yesterday and I actually do feel some soreness in my left tricep. Wont make that mistake ever again. I even asked myself "why do I always click them at the top if Military/barbell Shoulder press there is no clicking involved & your hands are at the same spot the whole time?"
    I've been going to the gym for years, thank you for this video

      You should be pushing straight up, not towards the center of your head. If you push towards your head, you’ll be putting more emphasis on triceps. Makes sense that they were sore.

    @j5threcords167 9 лет назад +4

    He's right here. Past a certain point during this press, the humerus does not raise any further so any additional movement would just be done by the triceps. That would be a waste of energy if you are focusing on shoulders. Same applies to all pressing movements, I see too many people just trying to lift weight rather than take the muscle group thru its full range of motion and only its full range of motion.

    3 important tips for free that is not mentioned in this video:
    1- Use your hips to get the dumbbells to the starting point if you struggle.
    2- Lower that bench for 10-15 degrees to decrease the arc in your back and take the pressure off.
    3- Lay your head to the back and don't move it while you are lifting and beware that the dumbbells are not too ahead of your head. (It caused me pull a muscle on my neck since the neck takes the pressure if the dumbbells are too ahead).

  • @davidadams8546
    @davidadams8546 6 месяцев назад

    You are demonstrating two mistakes here: 1) your arms are straight out from your sides. This is outside the scapular plain and puts increased stress on the rotator cuff tendons, greatly increasing the chance for a tendon injury. The arms should be 20 to 30 degrees forward, which still fully engages the lateral deltoids. 2) you are leaning back when doing the press. This partially engages the upper pecs in the lift. The seated shoulder press is designed to isolate the lateral deltoids, so the back of the bench should be perpendicular to the floor, placing all of the stress on the deltoid to maximize the effect.

      It depends what you mean by straining. If it's just a normal burn from lifting the weight than that should be fine. If it is some sort of pain or discomfort like a pinching feeling in your shoulder, you should stop and do a set of face pulls to active your rotator cuff.

      Lighten the weight, e.g. in the lat pulldown when weight that is too heavy is being lifted, people tend to stop pulling down with the elbows and recruit the bicep muscle. Pull mainly with your elbows for maximum contraction.

    • @evannarvais
      @evannarvais 2 года назад

      For heavy lat pull down use straps. And a overhand grip with open palm dont wrap thumb around and make fist. Never wrap thumb around and make fist on any back movements if possible.. always pull with elbow.. some bicep recruitment will be there but always focus on pull threw with elbow overtime it makes sense but what has really helped me is when doing heavy sets i use straps but do t always depend on straps and u do need to have steing grip.

    • @seanmatthewking
      @seanmatthewking 2 года назад

      The answer depends on what is hurting. But for starters, I suggest lighter weight. If anything hurts, stop. Your technique is almost certainly bad. I would keep watching videos on technique, and try with very light weight. Even start with no weight and try out various tips on technique you’ve heard with just your arms until it feels right. Gradually increase weight, and if anything feels wrong, stop again.
