I have seen that Ted Arcidi loved this exercise and it helped him with his bench press a lot like. Any advice for the implementation of this to your training routine?

For pressing you can either alter intensity for one lift (ie bench press) or use the nature of the lift to determine load. A suggestion is; Bench on Monday. Behind neck press on Wednesday. Normal front press on Friday.

I will be doing standing military, and probably do behind the neck as an addition to that. I was just seeing if anybody had good experience with the movement, a lot can get lost in translation over articles on the internet and facts and figures are all well and good, but experience can help decide a lot of the times much better.
