jerking is obviously great, Member 2521, 4721 posts SQ 235, BP 160, DL 290 685.0 kgs @ 111kgs UnEq	My shoulders were feeling a little delicate and weird today in the pressing movements. What do people do for shoulder health in the gym? Facepulls? Shoulder dislocates?

Not so much as forgotten as can't remember Member 894, 4924 posts SQ 245, BP 167.5, DL 272.5 685.0 kgs @ 100kgs UnEq	Avoid slow grinding movements I think helps Many of my friends have increased their pressing strength and power by using dynamic push presses I hope that helps Oh, if you have well developed upper back and shoulder girdle that can also prevent excessive shoulder strain I believe I think that's a big reason I've avoided to many shoulder probs, touch wood

For which I would prescribe the same thing, just with more weight!

Still got a little bit of strength Member 400, 22062 posts	I have a healthy pair of shoulders. Only pressing vertically seems to do the trick for me.

Only pressing vertically seems to do the trick for me. It might be my stone pressing from a couple of days ago that made my shoulders feel funny, because of the extremely close grip I had to use. (I remembered watching one of your vids where you pressed a stone, and tried it myself!)

a large fingered spastic that demolishes plant Member 89, 31706 posts SQ 260, BP 220, DL 290 770.0 kgs @ 142kgs UnEq	Face pulls and regular massage with a foam roller or tennis ball helps me.

Has achieved nothing. Member 1386, 292 posts	Not enough “pulling” exercises in your program. If you do too much push, push, push i.e. benching, pressing, dips, flys, and hardly any pulling exercises makes Joe Schmoe’s shoulder hurt really bad.

Sports an extremely muscular arse. Member 38, 6253 posts	Tom and Wayne nailed it. A strong overhead means a lot of good things, being able to hold a strong overhead means you have the necessary muscle and balance across the shoulders and surrounding areas to be able to keep the correct position in the press. Being able to do that in the squat position is even better.
