Improving shoulder stability

[jordanbenteke]

[FONT=&quot]So for years and years when training shoulders I've did the whole gig. heavy overhead press of some sort, front, side, and rear, delt work. As of late I've only did overhead presses period, and fuk I got to say my shoulders feel so much better. I would get aching rotators, tendons, and just overall sore as hell, and not a productive sore either. I've been doing presses only on shoulder day now for about 2 months, and noticed much less painful benching, and shit, pretty much any other lift, push or pull. So if a guy is not bbing for aesthetic symmetry , why the hell even do all the other movements? OHP strengthens the whole damn delt right? Maybe it's just an age thing...lol[/FONT]

I don't think overhead press will trigger all the same muscle fibers as say a quality lateral raise. If you're training for strongman or similar and not bodybuilding though, it likely doesn't matter.

you need to watch out with overheard presses. those are extremely bad for shoulders and discs.

I have certain movements I can't do either.

You need more than just presses. Work on form and technique. Shoulders also require less work than most think

Always focus on technique over weight. Build your way up slowly!
