Are you currently suffering from any kind of shoulder pain... Whether from impingement or other overuse injuries? Are you curtailing, or even eliminating horizontal pressing from your routine? If so, here are 7 pressing variations that are EASY on the shoulders:
[First, remember that neutral-grip ( palms facing in) moves are much easier on the shoulders, and that FatGripz or other thick-bar accessories help dissipate force and reduce stress on the muscles, tendons, and ligaments.]
1. Bottoms-up kettle bell floor press ( hold Kettle bell " upside down " by handle )
2. Hips off bench neutral-grip DB press ( only neck and shoulders on bench)
3. DB floor press with glute bridge ( from bridge position, press DBs up)
4. Supinated ( palms toward face) to neutral floor press ( rotate DB from supinated position to neutral at the top of the press, reverse back)
5. Reverse grip press
6. Neutral grip floor press ( below)
7. Dynamic alternating neutral grip DB press ( press DBs in a controlled, piston-like fashion)
See if one or more of these can keep you pressing.
