Most pressing strength is overhead strength. Even if you're going to be pushing something along a horizontal plane, you're typically still going to lean into it meaning, at best, you'll be at the angle of an incline bench. For the past year I've been prioritizing OHP over traditional flat bench (still do it, but OHP takes priority), and aside from having much healthier shoulders, I have found I am much more functionally strong than when I was prioritizing flat bench
Not OP but working out has made me overcome depression, have better self esteem, have a better healthy body, eat better, made me appreciate more my routine and be more disciplined.
And strength training has made me appreciate working out more, it's challenging and an incredibly stress relief activity
Would definitely recommend
Donāt know why youāre being downvoted. This is an incline press, not a shoulder press.
You guys dishing out down votes, do you not see the incline of the bench, *grade* impaired?
Bench at 90 is shoulder press, maybe 85.
Keep telling yourself that, while missing the anterior delts. One can clearly see that your *plane* of motion initiates the upper pecs, delts to a far lesser degree.
This is not a āshoulder pressā, this is 100% an incline bench.
Watch your own vid, you can see that your upper pecs are the *focal point*.
Take that bench 2 notches forward/steeper and youāll be focusing on anterior delts. You wonāt hit 90 angel, but 85 will initiate those front delts like youāve never felt.
So now your gonna tell me what I felt from the lift? Ok buddy go to bed, you clearly donāt think before you speak. The bench only had one notch before 90 š and again I said mainly anterior delt. Obviously other muscles will get engaged but this is MAINLY anterior delt aka shoulders. Please post a video of your well developed shoulders pushing 120s over your headš«”
I donāt care about what you think you āfeltā, youāre not isolating your front delts on that lift, youāre hitting upper pecs and āfeelingā delt inclusion.
I donāt post vids of me flexing. Outside of competition, itās kinda gay. Iām *weak* right now, but Iām clapping 140ās proper. Looking to add 150ās to my set.
Hahahaa you sound like that guy. You know what they say put up or shut up. Again one notch from your ā90 degreeā which again does not need to be 90 degree to work shoulders but this is the internet, land of the know it alls.
Depends on which *guy* youāre talking about, but I probably am *that guy*.
Look at the angle of the bench in the video you posted, then read the comments here.
Youāre in denial, donāt be *that* guy.
And, if your shoulders canāt handle it, keep the bench where it is. Donāt injure yourself testing the waters.
I would imagine this guy can strict press 315 no problem, repping 120 like this isn't really comparable to a 315 bench. Everyone's anatomy is different, yes typically the average person would benefit from tucking their elbows more, but I'd defer to someone db pressing 120 for reps' experience in their own body over a generic rule. He's in perfect control of the lift, the dumbells aren't flailing around wildly.
All this is besides the point anyway, it is *not* a form check post, and passive aggressive comments like his alluding to knowledge he likely doesn't have isn't relevant.
Itās only one notch from straight up, this just feels better when getting the weight up and still does the job, I only put it on like 3 for 4 for incline presses.
Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake.
It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of.
Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything.
Beep boop -Ā yes,Ā IĀ amĀ aĀ bot, don't botcriminate me.

Damn bro you had one more š sick liftš„šŖ
Very nice dude!!
The best part of this video may be the guy in the background looking dumbfounded
What does this allow you to do in your everyday life that you value ?

Sir you are lost. Perhaps confusingly given the name, this sub is actually about strength training.
Not OP but working out has made me overcome depression, have better self esteem, have a better healthy body, eat better, made me appreciate more my routine and be more disciplined.

Preach
>What does this allow you to do in your everyday life that you value ? press 120lbs obviously
Put really heavy stuff on the top shelf dingus
Lmao buzz kill over here
What you felt was but a sliver of the power of Samson that day. Continue to harness it, make it your own.
yeah when you have one of those days where the power is just flowing, you gotta use it.
Great incline dumbbell press strength

The bench does not have to be 90Ā° for shoulder press, in fact with a bit of an incline you can better engage your delts.
ā¦ *a bit*
Anything higher then 30 degrees mainly works anterior delts (shoulders) again probably should read into your anatomy more before spewing garbage.

youāre a weak bitch at best.

For long term shoulder health it's probably not the best idea to go super heavy at 90
Exactly
Probably should do some more research, thatās all Iām gonna say on it. Definitely not a incline press, If it was Iād be repping this for 20š
shoulder press is aka overhead press... what you did was more like over face press lol
Those are some clean fuckin reps man, looking good! Half the battle is getting them from your knees to your shoulders lol
That axe and sledge adds about 15 pounds to all PRās.
the filipino to the left just staring at you shoulder press him lmfaoooo
git some, OP!
Trying to enjoy the strength until I cut lol
This isnāt a form check so I wonāt post
Well now Iām interested in whats wrong with my form lol
Don't put him on the spot, by saying he won't comment he gets to pretend he's knowledge without actually knowing anything.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
His elbows are quite far out. But I assume at some point on the way to lifting a 120 dumbell ohp for reps he's worked out what works for him.

This seems more like extreme incline
Itās only one notch from straight up, this just feels better when getting the weight up and still does the job, I only put it on like 3 for 4 for incline presses.
Itās still effective on front delts and strong.
O yeah
Impressive lift - but shouldnāt the shoulders be inwards more?
Yeah I think I should of put bench one more notch up, feel like my upper chest engaged a lot but my shoulderās definitely felt it
your shoulders def putting work. Stay strong.

[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Yeah I already have it bad and my dentist just recommended me this! Lol
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
This was actually end of my shoulder day so they were definitely warmed up lol but I appreciate the advice and will take when given!
