just lol at people who do dumbbell press shoulder

[kinzu1996]

and do not do it on straight chair but like 2 levels below the 90 degrees, and arching that back as fuk, brah you can call that day chest day now.

[ayyy]

i've noticed this too, shoulders have to be one of the easiest muscles to truly isolate but people somehow go out of their way to use as little shoulder as possible when hitting shoulders

why isolate shoulders, when you can take 40 lbs pounds more but then use 30% of your shoulders and 70% of your upper chest, people will be mirin your 100 lbs shoulder press

[proteinsnake]

Maybe they're doing incline dumbbell press? I do exactly what you described as a bench accessory.

[UnkleDolan]

I do 1 level below 90 degrees because that's where I feel most natural. My spine feels great and I feel just as much as stimulation in my delts. 90 degrees just felt awkward and crushing on my spine. This probably works because I am very shoulder dominant. My delts were already capped before I even started lifting

try doing standing dumbbell press but with lower weight, you can't cheat like that and will probably stimulate even more your delts

this, previously dislocated my shoulder and after doing db press at 90 degrees sht starts to act up again and hurt.

Another solid lift, the V Press. No cheating and humbling exercise. Sit on the floor,
Spread your legs in a V position and Press a barbell. Blows delts the fug Up.

[Suqat]

Yeah I see that a lot at my gym. Currently about to go to 80lb, and I have only seen 3 other guys go above, but they were pressing 100s. Most other lifters use the I benches and never go above 55lb.

Going to use D shoulder press in my next cycle, thanks OP.

[LethalGunz34]

Just lol if you don’t bring a protractor to the gym and set the bench to exactly 79 degrees. Just LOL!

I'll leave that one for the female miscers, tbh

[brahskimoseph]

Just do strict standing military. If you have a lifting platform/squat rack, 80% of your time should be spent there, not on machines and dumbbells

[garthismad]

Imagine caring what other males do in a gym

Lol fair enough!

Pretty much this. Although I do venture to machines after my main lifts to add some variety/fun, I have also done routines where I don’t leave the racks other than for dips.

Why? I'm a competitive powerlifter so I get it but most people in the gym who have better physiques than me barely ever do any heavy barbell work. It's just a meme perpetuated by starting strength elitists. Unless your goal is to be specifically good at barbell lifts it doesn't matter how you stimulate your muscles.

Not really. Felt it a lot more on my abs and traps when I am doing them standing.

I had rotator cuff injury as well. So this one level below 90 degrees feels good. Also, my range of motion is limited but delts are still my 2nd strongest bodypart after quads

[Mic9]

I always do dumbbell press when i train shoulders, and i think the shoulders are my best bodypart

[bobbydigitaloa]

Does this meet your needs?

[Norsewarrior]

I think some people cant help it. Interesting related video I found.

Just lol if you do seated shoulder press and not standing barbell shoulder press

[Brozart]

Honestly brah going to the gym is just cope if you ain't on that sextant time

[sammywatkins]

Bench looks to be at 85 degrees and ass was 3 millimeters away from pad. Drop the weight in half and do it right lol

[dannyg1217]

Bench should be one off of 90. If you have any reasonable back mass that is.

Large back and ass against the back has you leaning forward. Twinks not doing it right

Agree. do one click back from straight. if i did it straight its bio-mechanically a mess

[JStrez]

I put it one back from 90 degrees since I helps me isolate the shoulders more and is less awkward.

Kind of interested in what your other shoulder workouts are since this is but one exercise.

Dumbbell Shoulder Press
Front Raise
Side Raise
Shrugs
Overhead Extensions if I'm feeling it that day.

[Muzzlrpress]

I'll admit, that title clickbaited me OP.

[Droopdx]

I do standing dumbbell press because I always arch my back and it feels better
