i have to ask you tho: **--NOTE: Do not do behind-the-neck presses. They put too much strain on the shoulders (as do behind the neck lat pull-downs) and can damage them.
i aggree with you that its bad for the shoulders and i have experienced that behind the neck presses damage shoulders BUT why is kevin levrone (for example) doing them? is he not getting damaged? is he doing them in a special way?

Here's a more direct answer for you:

Everyone has his/her preferences. Behing the neck presses may have or may not have injured him in the past.

An alternative to behind the neck presses are military (front) or dumbell presses (side) as described in my first post. Keeping the dumbbells in the same vertical plane created by the shoulders or slightly forward will keep undue stress off your shoulders.

The experience with Kevin at the bar in Maryland involved several different people. The bar was happy to see him go when he left. Perhaps it was a bad night for him. Either way, he left a bad impression on many people that night.
