Over head presses bad?

[GaellkMR]

I was doing over head presses and some guy came up to me and said i shouldn’t do them cause they are dangerous. I asked him politely to leave him alone and then he went on a rant about how he injured his back doing them and a bunch of other stuff. Is he right or just blowing smoke?

running up to you was rude, not his business. although i tend to agree they put a lot of pressure on your shoulders and discs

i would have told him to kiss my ass ha

you can do overhead presses no problem no injuries
just go slow and steady dont push too hard too fast

You can hurt yourself walking, so control weights when you train

I am always super cautious with shoulders since I have suffered with rotator cuff issues but overhead press done with proper form should be fine.
