    Dr. Wenning do you think there's a difference (as far as shoulder injury is concerned) between standard barbell military pressing and Neutral Grip overhead pressing with a multi-grip bar or a Log Press in strongman training? My reasoning is that the change in grip and subsequent change in humeral head position reduces shoulder impingement and is by nature a more triceps dominant from of overhead pressing. Interested to hear your thoughts and thank you!

  • @shuhelahmed4433

  • @7266jp
    @7266jp 20 годин тому +2

    I agree with dips and isolated bicep training. The problem with overhead press is most people perform it with a wide grip on the barbell which I feel places a lot of stress on the joint and tendons . I train it once a week only 2-3 sets but my hands are in close where I keep it in the scapular plane which is the preferred plane of motion for the shoulders . Sometimes I will throw in some DB presses instead of the barbell and I do the DB presses with a neutral grip instead of barbell grip. These I feel are pretty safe as well. I’m not looking to max out on it just to train them.

    Great video dude. Many need to hear it.
    Dips are a friggin death trap if youre not built well for it either. I've seen a guy crack their sternum cartilage from that angle and pressure. Cant bench anymore and barely lifts.
    You're right about the OHP, if you do it too often, the shoulders start getting pretty crispy. Once a month or couple months is plenty for me.

      The first few times I did dips, my sternum was extremely sore. I regressed them with my legs on the floor and did a lot of volume shy of failure. Now they don't bother me and I feel a great stretch. I'm not a high level lifter or a doctor, but I've never seen anyone doing things with common sense and getting hurt. This reminds me of a comment under a jefferson curl video where a guy said he can't even work because he broke his back with it, they asked him how heavy he went and he said 200 lbs. On a freaking Jefferson curl.

      yeah agree, i still do dips but really slow and pause at the end of range of motion. i cut out overhead press years ago, dont need it when i have bench and lateral raises. Matt talks a lot about bench being a tricep-dominant exercise, whereas most people think it's primarily a pec exercise. but you could also do a closer grip to make it even more tricep-focused.

    Injuries in general are cause from imbalances in the body. Most people chase PR'S and never stick with proper weight long enough to stabilize the muscle. Intensity by nature should be used sparingly. Train don't Strain. I stopped weight training and did Bodyweight exercises and couldn't believe how good I felt. .

    Maybe the general public gets hurt doing overhead work because they are weak and fragile....i build electrical substations and do mp weekly and have no shoulder pain and lifting tools over my head is a more submaximal event for me compared to others because my strength ceiling has been rais3d by training the mp movement in the gym...if the general public has injuries related to work overhead I think that's a terrible indicator of the mp therefore being bad for you. If the general population and associated injuries is the litmus test then I just don't think that's a logical way to assess just about any injury because it's a fragile sick population that's already injury prone

    Funny, I watched a Mike O'Hearn short vid yesterday saying how behind the neck presses keep the shoulder healthy. I'm not sure what the truth is tbh. I did loads of behind the neck pressing in my youth, and my shoulders are fucked now, but I put that mostly down to not being able to build my back strength and development at the same rate as my chest development, and thus pulling my shoulders forward out of alignment. If I try any overhead pressing now, my shoulders are screaming!

  • @janoycresva276
    @janoycresva276 22 години тому +1

    I like Dr Wenning's content & agree with most of it except for the Military/Overhead Press. The way the military press was shown in the video from Arnold & the other bodybuilder at the beginning were done from behind the neck which isn't an overhead or military press which is done from the front, it's a behind the neck press which forces the shoulder joint into internal rotation causing said grinding very similar to a benchpress. When done properly from the front, the overhead press where you stand upright not hunching over & shrug at the top when you lockout puts the shoulder joint into external rotation thus making shoulder impingement & damage physically impossible. Plus the other benefits of the overhead press compared to the benchpress are far greater that for anyone who isn't a powerlifter (even powerlifters should do it also), they should do overhead pressing instead because it builds the core muscles more since you have to stay upright to do it correctly, builds the entire shoulder girdle better than the benchpress which mainly works the front delts, builds the triceps more since you have to lift it through a longer range of motion which Matt always says tricep strength is essential for the benchpress while it also builds the upper pecs simultaneously all while using a lighter weight. Also unlike the benchpress, there's no risk of getting pinned under the weight without being able to get out when doing overhead pressing, simply putting the bar back into the rack from shoulder height or dropping it in front of you in the worst case scenario is all you need to do to safely get out without getting hurt. The final point is also the strength developed, a man who only trains overhead press for his barbell press plus overhead variations & can lift 400 lbs on it with proper form will easily be able to benchpress 400 lbs if he trains it for 3 weeks if not more but a man who only trains the benchpress & can lift 400 lbs on it with proper form most likely won't be able to overhead press 300 lbs or even 250 lbs after 3 weeks of training overhead which even Matt said himself that he was benchpressing 600 but was doing 400 on the overhead press which may have even been behind the neck which is far from a bad number to do, it's world class, but highlights the massively skewed ratio of strength gained. The front squat when done with a full grip compared to a normal squat done with the bar on the back is the exact same way as overhead press compared to the benchpress.
