Love them, always done them, always will.
In support of the idea of doing it, I've seen many rite-ups in MD (and even MM) that toute great benifits. I think Hany was the last guy I remember writing on it and he said they were good to go with proper form and healthy shoulders.
I'm not brave or smart enough to them on anything but a smith machine; I believe I tried once and ended up hurting myself.

never... I never do them.. only because of 2 reasons .. 1 it's a really UN-NATURAL Placement to put the shoulder joint..which leads me right into the 2nd reason, I watch a very well built man of about 5'10" 260lbs.. 8ish% BF .. been training for years.. do a moderately light behind the necck shoulder press.. and I watched.. I WATCHED.. I FLIPPIN' WATCHED this dude's ARM (Shoulder) BLOW right out of socket.. I saw the dislocation.. witnessed..as i sit here typing this I am getting sick to my stomach reliving that memory... **shudder**

Damn! The highest I ever got was 265 on a barbell for maybe 9.

I have heard the same thing from kinesiologists before--very unnatural shoulder placement. At my age, I won't do behind the neck anymore. My shoulder would probably blow out like that other guy if I tried to do too much.
