As a rehab candidate due to rotator cuff issues (I'm nearly back to 100%, though), I am avoiding this exercise for now. Once I build up my strength and stability back within the cuff (as well as my postural muscles), I may attempt the OHP; with gradual progressive overload. Overall, each of your statements are valid regarding this exercise. Everyone should assess their body mechanics, strength and stability before trying it out.
Mark rippetoe talks about the OHP and how it can't impinge the shoulder, what's your take on that? I'm pretty sure he is referring to shrug at the top of the moment.
Shrugging at the top might help to some degree, but I think slouching over your desk for hours a day, combined with not working out the rotator cuff enough will cause impingement in many people and shrugging at the top won't be able to help them much
I personally like 0 degrees better, as when you go up to 90 degrees, you are using your Deltoid significantly more. If you are at 0 degrees, you can isolate the Rotator Cuff either on a Cable Machine or sidelying on a bench with a Dumbbell and do shoulder internal and external rotation
Yea but saying that slouching is bad, and that you have bad rotator cuffs doesnt mean that the OHP is a bad exercise, it just means that people are dysfunctional, this entire video is a bit of clickbait.
You should look up The Press on the art of manliness channel. Mark Rippetoe shows how a proper overhead press doesn't impinge the shoulder because the scapula rotates.
I've got some scar tissue or an issue in my left shoulder (for about 10 years now) ohp is one of the few shoulder exercises I can do that doesnt aggravate it...any other shoulder chest sometimes even back and bicep will aggravate it
Literally what I came here to say This guy's arms tell me he hasn't done an OHP in his life. I'm female and can lift more than this lunatic. Seriously, this guy's advice for people with weak shoulders is to...not strengthen them long term? Lmao beta
You are becoming a sensationalist. Your title is that it's a BAD exercise, but your video content says it's a bad exercise IF done incorrectly. Provide better full information, please.

I definitely agree with what you are doing! Very true statement at the end you gave too
Totally agree about the pec minor, it gets really tight after a day of school/work
Indeed Jorgen...it's a Very overlooked muscle...which is shouldn't be given that it is quite powerful and can cause many problems

When it comes to the rotator cuff what's your take on 0 degrees vs 90 degrees of abduction?

Disagree.. Most exercises have cons.. This does not mean u shouldn't do them
Aye, I agree, that is the point of this series! The next exercise I am going to talk about is one of my favorites
I've got some scar tissue or an issue in my left shoulder (for about 10 years now) ohp is one of the few shoulder exercises I can do that doesnt aggravate it...any other shoulder chest sometimes even back and bicep will aggravate it
Can you do video on rolled shoulders please? :_( . My my right shoulder is really rolled forwards and I feel very uncomfortable.
I shall address this issue as it is a very common issue for people....I actually linked you a video just now in my newest video
Thanks.
Keep elbows and hands at shoulder width and not too much weight.
Great hat
Thank you, I love this hat!
man i love u
Haha, thank you very much!
Nothing wrong with the military press.
With a reasonable amount of weight and perfect form.
The problem is, most people don't do this.
Yeah it's too hard for you lol
fix your posture, and dont slouch as often as you do. dont play dumb 🤷♂️
this guy is like 140 lbs. dont listen to this guy, this a channel for people who are looking for excuses to not be performing compound exercises.

You have to sensationalize a bit to get noticed as I said in my previous comment. I did provide full information within the video and gave good info
