I'm not a fan either especially since about 2 months ago I dislocated my right shoulder, but that's really the only other delt exercise I could think of. I'm not sure I want to try DB militaries and the hammer strength shoulder machine puts my shoulder at an awkward angle. I'm just working around it. If you or anyone else has any other shoulder exercises that you've found that works well for DC training, let me know.

And I go slightly behind my head on skull crushers instead of to my forehead.

Thanks for your advise!

dont do btn press with DC's 4 second negative. id do standing overhead db presses instead. you'll also find squats extremely difficult to do with the correct tempo

I'm not too concerned with doing a 4 second negative as much as I'm concerned with doing a slow negative and explosive positive (which is something I've been doing for years). Also, like I said before, I dislocated my shoulder a couple months ago and am weary of doing any exercise that puts my shoulder in an awkward position. I may try to switch to DB military press (seated) IF it doesn't hurt my shoulder and it doesn't feel like it's going to pop out again at the top of the movement (it was an anterior subluxation).
Thanks for your input.

Anyone else with advice?
