  • What’s the best exercise for wider shoulders?

  • Behind the neck press (if you can do it without it hurting), dumbbell overhead pressing and side & rear delt raises.

    Delts respond really well to massive volume and, as they’re small, going to failure doesn’t affect recovery as much as bigger muscles so just go ham.

    Edit: should have said wide grip behind the neck press

  • Behind the neck press

    What are you getting from this that you can't get from a standard OHP?

    It feels like an unnecessarily risky lift, as it involves internal rotation of the shoulder in an elevated position, and inherently less control because of the positioning.

  • Behind the neck press

    Massively dangerous and not worth the risk.

    Standard DB or BB shoulder press. Safest would be a Smith press shoulder press

    dumbbell overhead pressing and side & rear delt raises.

    Good combo. Rear delts are underrated as are the exercises.

    Depends. They're not obviously as strong so less weight, but in relation. I'm happy pressing 80 for 5-6 reps (Smith).

  • Behind the neck press is good if your goal is destroying your neck.
