It'd quite a strict movement; one of the reasons it is done behind neck, because there is little variance in the range of motion. As long as you're taught and execute it correctly, this makes it one of the safer shoulder exercises. But no amount of safety in a range of motion will save you if not everything is sitting right when you do it.

Sorry birds thats not right at all . The range of motion and the position is bad compared to standard. It's got far more stress on the rotator cuff due to the position of the shoulder.

You can do them in relative safety, provided you are in correct shoulder position (and can get there with enough shoulder mobility).However, It will place much much more stress on the rotator, scapular and traps than front style. Maybe people don't like the regualr military press as much because sometimes the amount of weight they can do is less , relative to behind the neck (people like bragging rights). Add to this the 'standing' as opposed to sitting component and it's easier to get it wrong.

To help illustrate as to why these are strong on the rotator cuff , look at the elbow position. In the same way as the other pressing movement bench press. elbows out for gym punter bench press (ouch my rotators) vs the elbows in version for powerlifting.

Front press starts with the elbows in front and in. Moving the bar upwards vertically. Behind the neck is out to the sides and up out a little.

Either press needs a good strong shoulder girdle and upperback. Both assist slightly in actually building stronger supporting muscles as a compound movement. But, that aint enough.

My shoulders are pretty strong, I didn't need them.

liquid grip is great for gyms that don't allow chalk

f**k those gyms lol. Just don't let them see you start using it, and don't make a bloody mess....then if/when they notice you've got chalk, they won't usually care since you didn't get it everywhere haha

Either way, f**k those gyms :P

Also, fellow protein brahs...a testing company finally got back to me and are emailing me information on how to send them a sample. So the wheels are in motion

Quoted for truth

I think it's more that some gyms (all of which would be commercial gyms) would get up you for leaving a mess lol...I know the chick at my gym was like "don't make too much mess or the cleaners might whine haha"...she cool though.

I just dont want to end up throwing up my food :)

You won't if you eat at least 2 hours before you work out for a large meal, or an hour for a small meal.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
