Strong Dudes,

I have read in a couple of different articles that doing military presses behind your head is really bad for your shoulders, to the point that you shouldn't do them. I love military press, so I have been doing it in front of my head for some time.

However, I revisited the behind the head method just today, and got a tremendous shoulder burn in the process (not like an injury type burn). So my question is this:

Has anyone else ever heard this? What are your thoughts on the matter? I'd like to hear some other guys weigh in on this. A lot of the dudes I know advocate machine work for shoulders to prevent injury, but I hate machines and refuse to use them.
