Squat in the front, press in the back 😎😂

[janbam]

Didnt do behind the back press for over 10 years, because everyone said it is bad for the shoulders. Started them a few months ago wirh Light weight and higher reps. It increased my shoulder mobility and health instead of destroying them!
Very good exercise

[filipzivkovic]

Couldn't agree more, it's crazy how some people try convincing you that this is not a good shoulder

[harman]

BTN is absolutely king! Been doing it for a year now, and man what a game changer in development and strengh of the shoulder

[BUFFALO_cougar_slayer]

Yo, I love behind the neck press! When I was seriously pushing the OHP as a main lift, I got as high as 297.5 lbs and stalled. Failed 300 over and over and over for weeks until I ditched the lift. Then later I started doing BTN as a main lift. From DEEP. Like barbell starting from the rear delts. Worked up to 240 for a single and it’s still going up. Tried OHP for the first time in over a year a couple weeks ago and nailed 300 easy. Then I nailed 315. Haven’t done the lift in forever. The BTN is gold. Gold, Jerry, gold! It carries over to the OHP like a champ, so there’s really no sense in not training it even if you want to specialize in the press

[JamesJones-rr]

Klokov Press is the only strict barbell OHP I’ve been doing. Love it. Dominates the lateral delts and triceps too.

[dr_palx]

I started doing btn presses because of you and Alex Leonidas! Absolutely love them - my favorite pressing variation. Too bad this movement rarely get the love it deserves - not a lot of guys outside the "noble natty" community even mention them

[TheBrick]

Bro I love these so much. They blow up my shoulders and smash the long head of my triceps like nothing else.

[ActionSetPieces]

Alec Enkiri, Alex Leonidas and Alex Bromley were telling me to BTN OHP, so I did and it has been great!

[roebuckmckinney]

I’ve been doing them for a while now, and I love them. The starting position of the BTN is like a deadlift. That bar ain’t going nowhere unless you can break it off your shoulders. It’s an all or nothing effort. Once it starts moving, there’s this surge of energy that makes you feel like you’re lifting the whole world.

I do them with a specialty bar that has a slight camber. My hands are maybe 3 inches in front of where they would be if I was using a straight bar. It’s kind of like a db press with arms directly to the side, but with the stability of a barbell.

[dune]

I love this movement. It actually feels a more natural movement to me than front OH pressing. As you say it provides a more direct path when pressing. My side delts have definitely started growing since prioritizing behind the neck press.

[WiecznieNieNasycony]

BEHIND THE NECK Presses+BEHIND THE NECK pull ups are best from the best bro
and you can set up power rack pins this way to will be no risk increasing the way of motion with power rack pins
after sets of this do lu rises

1 Behind the neck press 3 SET 6-8 REP+
2 Pin OHP 3 SET 4-6 REP
3 Lu Raises 3 SET 10-15 REP

[ishan]

BTN presses are goated, difficult to unlock but takes you to a whole new realm of shoulders, shoulder health + gains plus. Personally felt best for shoulders.

[baazjhaj]

BTN is king. Would love to see a programming video on how to blow up the BTN press.

[ishan]

Man you are really underrated,
wishing you more and more growth.

[dnlgdvv]

Behind the neck presses are great. So are behind the neck pullups.

[moreveinsmoregains]

The BTN press feels even better on the shoulders than the OHP. Thanks for the video bro you explained it very well

[dcdelacruise]

i recenty started doing this light weights only but will progressive overload over time

[piyushdwivedi]

Coming back from a non exercise related shoulder injury and doing btn press with just the bar atm. It burns, but it burns in a good way.

[Raao]

I started doing a month ago. My shoulders feel so much stable, and the pump in the mid delt and the triceps is amazing.
