Dumbell shoulder press Ronnie Coleman style.

[Prime]

When watching The cost of redemption i noticed that when doing shoulder presses with DB's ronnie only went about 2/3rds of the way up, there was never a pause and he just pumped out the reps. I tried it tonight and found it to work pretty well. I got a pretty good pump, i wasnt lifting as much as usual but that diddnt seem to matter. I could really feel i was isolating the delts and taking the triceps out of the equation. Anyone else try this?

I never lock out my shoulder presses.

Seldom lock out and if your clanking the db on the concentric portion of the lift you are doing it wrong.

i see people do dumbell presses like this....never knew if it was good to do em like that. I always go all the way up.....hmm...gonna have to try this

[wolfyEVH]

go as far up as you can w/o locking.......you need to get the full stretch

I never lock on anything, you get to failure much quicker by not locking

It keeps constant resistance on the muscle doing it that way. I do that for a lot of things ervery once in a while. It wears you out faster with less weight , so I dont do it all the time. I still like to heave up some heavy weight for lower reps.

I go all the way up without locking out. I prefer doing arnold presses when working the shoulders with dumbbells.

Well by the look of you Seanw, i think it works not locking on anything
