Shoulder presses

[MrPerfect]

I've been trying to do behind the necks lately, everyone says how great
They are but others say it's really bad for u after some time.

What do u guys prefer?

i go in front just for that reason. never really expiremented with behind the neck presses.
the arnold presses are my favorite though (dumbbell in each hand and press one at a time while you hold the other arm at 90 degrees from your side) i get a great pump from those
i like to superset it with machine shoulder press

I have bad shoulders so I never go behind the neck...

besides the way I see it what if you loose control and the weight comes crashing down on the back of your neck

I do both. I rotate between barbell and dumbell presses though. I do prefer behind the neck presses (for barbell) though. Do them on a smith machine so you can really torture your shoulders without the risk of dropping the weight on yourself....

I used to do behind the neck all the time when I was younger.. But if I ever do the now and that's not much at all. I never go over 225 with a spotter..
