Replacing OH for Military

is it bad to have the shoulders go to the side instead of the front? if so why?

works for me bro
 
can't really argue with the results.................

The link Wyrms posted is the way you should do it.  That is one of the best upper body exercises in existence.  Of course Oly lifts are better, but the majority of them usually start with the weight on the ground and end up being held over your head.

im a fan of olympic lifting, but doing them is antoher story lol
i dont like the fact your holding a 200lb bar over your/behind your head. doesnt seem so safe to me. i've seen many bbbing injuries but more olympic lifting injuries when lifting. (on youtube! lmao)

yeah i bet coldfire is gonna be like "tommy, you are a dumb****." then open a can of stevenhawking-lifting whoopass on me! ahaha im still pumped from my hst workout today thats why i sound so weird and energetic

but whats wrong with putting ur elbows to the side instead of in front of u?

should all shoulder presses have ur elbows in the front?

thats now what i usually see when looking how to perform them

The most efficient way to press the bar up, is when the elbows are under the bar. That's why you move them forward. If you let them go to the sides and back, it will be harder and the bar path will be wrong.

what i mean is can the elbows go to the side or do they have to be in front of the chest like the earlier link?

this is generally what i do http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KuxfIK24AIM&feature=related . is that right?

It's hard to tell from that angle, though it looks not bad. The elbows should be put in front of the chest which means, under the bar. Read my post again.

so this guys elbows are too far out to the side correct?

You best hope Twisted doesn't see that post or you're fuxed.

haha, i thought id come here to figure out why this person is posting nearly the same exercise and i find a blasphema!!!

Kingyoto if you need help in chemistry (HS chem?) then i'd be more than happy to help if you put your trust in me, it's really not that difficult, in some respects its the easiest science.
