behind the neck barbell pressess

[musclenz]

I was speaking to a PT who recently worked at a large commercial gym in Christchurch. She contacted me to let me know that one particular gym had now banned trainers from demonstrating behind neck press and behind neck lat pulldowns.

I can only presume that she was correct. What next? No squats and deadlifts? And eventually no lifting heavy things.

Name and shame!!

I find when I do them there is a bit more stress on my shoulders due to my inflexability but its just common sense to go a bit lighter.

Banning an exercise! Ive seen PTs doing all kinds of crazy shit with their clients on swiss balls, far more dangerous than behind the neck presses.

I won't name the person but the gym is your Gym! Cityfitness in Christchurch. It may not be correct but it's a worry.

They got some funny ideas about training but their reception staff are HOT :grin:

Yeah agreed. Ive also noticed since City Fitness has taken over from Pro fitness there seems to be a lot more hot women working out.

Hell thats a bold statement. Cant remember but what were Reg's delts like?

[wgtnmuscle]

they were huge :) but if you talk to phil hernon over at professional muscle..he only recommends side laterals for shoulders no pressing movments

Most BBers will try to hammer the sides for added width but you still need a balanced shoulder girdle IMO. Often rear delts are whats lacking for complete shoulder symmetry. So you really just cant train lateral head even tho your shoulders get a workout with most other upper body parts.
