I firmly believe that my focus on overhead presses (with bench as a secondary exercise) led to my 405 natural bench. That’s an oversimplification, but I would train bench off and on and never neglect overheads.
We know this because it's the only thing you talk about in this channel and that's why we love, cause it's so damn important and not said enough anywhere else
I love standing shoulder presses. I find it to be a very good overall strength developing exercise and its challenging to progress provided the form remains consistent.
After failed slap repairs in both shoulders in 2018 I started back at the gym in March 2024. I have avoided overhead presses and incline presses but after seeing this, I just may approach both of those with just the empty bar and an efficient range of motion since I’m doing all kinds of things that I never thought I would ever be able to do. thanks to your channel thanks man.
Jason I used to get in arguments with people saying that I believe it worked all three heads of the shoulders. It is amazing how your left posterior/rear delt is popping out during the press . It is the exercise probably the most responsible for my shoulder development
@fabriciooliveira3720 My favorite rear delt exercise is strand pulling. It is basically a standing rear delt raise but the cables increase in resistance the greater you stretch them. Check out the back development and shoulders of a guy named Fred Rollon from the 1920s. Big strand puller
@ i guess we all have our favourite exercises, unfortunately i cannot try this because i dont have this equipment, i like the powell raises because they also work the side delts
Jason, your emphasis on rear delt work has really helped my shoulders & back. I admit, I seldom do front shoulder press. The joints just get too much work in that area for me. But I do enjoy doing them from time to time. Thanks Jason and take care.
I feel relieved seeing how strong and muscular you are at your age (not much older than me 😅), as it reassures me that I can continue progressing naturally, being mindful of my body, and still improve in strength and muscle development. Thanks, Jason! Always a new lesson with your videos.
I love overhead pressing. The weight jumps are small (I’m only at a max of 190 pounds right now but my goal is to get to 225 by end of year)…but they feel great and seem to have a carryover to other exercises. 💪🏋️♀️🏔️
All I do for shoulders are shoulder presses and modified side lateral raises. Only difference is I focus on the eccentric more than the concentric. Eccentric is about 5 seconds while the concentric is one second. It’s changed everything and my delts are pretty big but I don’t lift heavy at all. I use a whole 40-60 pounds on a bar but lower the bar to bottom of chest.
What's going on? Are you running some kind of casino? I see the machines in the background when you're suppose to have gym equipment in the background. 😁
I do it safely on most sets. Depends on weight though. You never want it so that you can’t finish a rep. That’s failure. Not collapsing with the weight. Watch my videos on How to lift heavy weight
@@NaturalGallantBodybuilding In this context, I have a question: What's better and your experience: to do the first set until positive failure, followed by sets until the reps drops or is it better to set a certain number of repetition and do as many sets as you need until I achieve positive failure? These are two different ways to train so I mean
I did dumbell standing shoulder press yesterday . I had planned to do incline DB bench press next workout . What do you think the rest time should be between the two exercises . I figured two days should do it ?
In the real world shoulders are more important than chest strength imo. I’m naturally a very good bench presser. But focus on posterior chain and shoulder work.
Shoulder Presses were a staple of the golden age of bodybuilding. Shoulder presses are staple for strength. For the person seeking strength, you wouldn't question not having them. That being said, I don't think there is any "must have" exercise. Saying shoulder presses are mainly front delts, nah, if you shrug at the top like you should (even if you don't), it works the traps well and it works some upper chest maybe even some other upper back, definitely triceps, probably some ab or serratus. If you want your bench to go up, supplement with shoulder press. The opposite is true, the flat press will also help your shoulder press. And don't think it's only front delt, it will be side delt to a lesser degree. You can't really designate the shoulder just 3 heads, it's actually more like 9 or 12 according to what they're finding now. And whatever movement you do, it engages various portions, so not solely the front part.
I happen to notice when you show yourself lifting weights, you have your twin brother put on a wig. You are not fooling anyone. Everyone knows that's your twin brother doing the lifting.😆
Hey jason in my experience and studies say only the last reps build muscle....so when i do higher Reps 20+ reps the first 15-18 are useless...so i can stick between 6-12... Maybe high reps are overrated

As stabilizer yes but dont expect any growth from it.

Love shoulder press, specifically behind the neck press.
I feel it helps my upper chest also

Valuable content as Always! MOUNTAIN!!🏔️
Love the standing barbell Shoulder press.Mountain 💪🏽
Will try this in next workout
"Should I do shoulder press?" is wild. Warm the shoulder up and be careful with it, but I'd suggest it for just about anyone.
Bench press before doing overhead presses.

My lats get sore when l do ohp, it's not a bad thing, but when l do rows, those lats rarely get sore
Been doing all 20-30 rep sets all week…I was going for a very “blistful” week…but I have actually been pretty damn sore!
Mountain press
Can you release rough beginings please
HA
What's going on? Are you running some kind of casino? I see the machines in the background when you're suppose to have gym equipment in the background. 😁
I wish I could do them more. Every time I try, they don't feel good on my shoulders.

Jason, when training with heavy or light weights, is it better to go positive failure on every set or is it better to achieve failure on the last set?
I do it safely on most sets. Depends on weight though. You never want it so that you can’t finish a rep. That’s failure. Not collapsing with the weight. Watch my videos on How to lift heavy weight

I've been doing shoulder press for about 7 years twice a week. What would you suggest ? Once a month ?
Nothing wrong with what you’re doing
@NaturalGallantBodybuilding ok thanks wasn't sure if that was going overboard with it or not.
I did dumbell standing shoulder press yesterday . I had planned to do incline DB bench press next workout . What do you think the rest time should be between the two exercises . I figured two days should do it ?
I did it the next day. I’m not worried about that stuff too much. Video coming up on that subject

Never said you had to do it. But over the head exercises are extremely helpful for proper alignment of the upper back.
First (I hope).🤔
LIKE LIGHTNING!!! :)
