Sticky: The Bench Form Thread We see a lot of threads asking for bench form critiques on this forum.

I can press behind the neck now So after years of struggling with shoulder problems I now have the mobility to do (light) presses behind the neck. I do them Paul Carter style to the ears, not the base of the neck. Question is, can I program these as a main lift once a week or is that not advisable?
