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.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
