The most underated exercise has to be.....

[kojak_x]

Over and over I hear/see people do/discuss what exercise is best for shoulders. The standing shoulder press has to be the the most underated exercise. I see people doing all sorts of unnecessary shoulder exercises. You want big well rounded shoulders do shoulder presses.

There are a total of 4 major body exercises, Deadlift, Squat, Benchpress, Press.

People over complicate shit all the time. Keep it simple.

to be honest never really done those with barbell.usually just use the machine but i might try that out.

[kaptainkeezy04]

9/10 shoulder workouts, i'm doing barbell shoulder presses. Keep it simple.

[MuscleScience]

I never do a traditional shoulder workout, to many movements in my regular routine hit the shoulders already. No sense in overtraining a very small muscle group.

[quarry206]

shoulder press is not the best, it doesn't work all parts of the delt.. also it leads to alot of over training issues like other people have pointed out.....

shoulder press's use to be my favorite workout, but i stopped doing them because it started to hurt my bench because of over trainging of the front delt

[reardbandit]

I am a huge fan of shoulder presses, be they seated, standing, barbell, dumbell, etc. You know another movement that is a good one for the shoulders is the seesaw press. A dumbbell in each hand, you press them one at a time and "seesaw" to the opposite side when you do it. It's pretty awesome. I couldn't agree with you more on the overcomplication.

You four major exercises are my bread and butter. I really like to also do dips, pushups, and pull/chin ups as well.

[sizerp]

Find a flat wall, with enough space to do a handstand against.

May want to practice doing some handstands for a bit first...

Start with your palms about 3-5 inches from the wall, and as your facing the wall, kick up and use your feet to find balance... now try doing pushups this way, and you're shoulders and back and everything gets hit hard.

Can also put some ankle weights on to increase intensity.

X2 here. my left shoulder is not in the greatest shape. I recently tried db presses with 35lb each and I almost dropped it on my head from the pain. I took a few min then went to the machine and pressed just over 150 with very little pain.... next week just did the machine and the weight went up just a bit without pain....

That is the Crossfit pullup. You can find these people swinging on a bar in just about any gym these days. The worst part is they are as arrogant as they come and actually think that is how you should do a pull up.

1.)There is no reason to go below your chin on any shoulder press exersize, especially standing. Dangerous and non-beneficial
2.) why the hell would you wanna put your hip (legs) into a standing military press?

Everything I have seen crossfit teach/preach is about using all the momentum you can muster, hence monkey pullups.

[OH REALLY]

i didn't like it and you will never see me doing and shoulder presses standing

[Gaspari1255]

Gotcha. Whatever makes him happy. I think momentum is a big no no, it's gonna turn into a half-assed push press soon.

There is a lot of play on exercise physiology theory on Cross Fits basic setup. Of course most of bodybuilding is the same way. Basically is suppose to be a purely anaerobic workout done in 15 or so minutes. HGH increase proportionally to the release of Lactate in serum thus greater stimulus for growth and repair. Also the accumulation of Oxygen debt that has to be "repaid" is rather large and is suppose to account for the overall raised release of fatty acid oxidation throughout the day. The major draw back I see in the program is that its not an for beginners in the least and even moderately fit individuals could end up with injuries. If someone is relatively very fit, it is a kick ass workout and with a little modification is great for most anaerobic athletes given that someone takes out the more risky moves.

[TITANIUM]

Shoulder presses are great.

Upright rows is another.

I'm so old school...........

ok i'm asking not telling.. because i'm not sure


crossfit concept is for explosive athletes and stufff no bodybuilding or strength.. isn't it for like people doing sports like , MMA, boxing dynamic sports that use fuild motion not direct strength or hyperthrophy...


i know fedor E use's this type of training so i read about it one time,

[pk420]

Shoulder PRESS, so many great variations. Wide grip behind your head. reg grip behind head. and to mix it up a third time, bring it to your front.

[shauni]

seated dumbell press????? that works for me but with what quarry206 sayed a understand y my sholder is getting tight what can a do to combat that

To the best of my knowledge...yes. I am sure it will leave you wanting to puke after doing it, just not my cup of tea. By the same token if one of these guys tried to hang with me on leg day I think they would fold long before we were done as well. If I wanted to look like an MMA fighter or a slightly overweight gymnast I might consider it.

[AdamGH]

imo, upright rows, very underrated exercise and forgotten about often.

[Tjohn6231]

I love the standing press, but Ill never do them like that video shows. I only come down to chin level, and I do them slow, and steady.
Also, those idiots in the background look like pussies that ignore good advice. Who the hell does chins that way?

[Navy-boi-kai]

I believe wieghted pushups and Pullups are vry underated!!!!!

[reardbandit]

IMO any bodyweight exercise with added weight is underrated. It probably won't make you look like Arnold, but they are good for a change of pace or something to do on a lighter session or week. Of course, depending on the amount of weight added, you can very well do these as part of your regular routine. Dips with chains, anyone?
