Sounds awesome, man

Do you lower your militaries down to your chest, or do you stop around the nose or chin level? I ask because I've seen a boatload of bodybuilders only doing the nose-level deal literally every time I go to the gym.

I know some EFers lower the bar to their clavicles, but other than myself, I've not seen anyone do this firsthand in a looooong time.

i go about to my mouth, thats where i get the best feeling, if i go to low it hurts my shoulders.

Good work bro!

As for the milt, I always have lowered to my upper chest. Is this wrong?

 

[Zander1983]

Great to see you hitting it hard once again!!!

Absolutely not That's how I do it.

 

[Lee]

i would lower it to my chest if i could, but it just makes a weird pain shoot through my front delt

 

[Corey2007]

How did you get hurt?

 

[makedah]

Dang it! I'd recently found the article that said folks who have shoulder issues should shorten their ROM on presses. But I didn't bookmark it.

 

[Lee]

i dont have an injury, it just hurts for some reason

That's what I do, too. The top portion of the movement is mostly triceps anyways. Unless it hurts, then it's good to bring it to the chest IMO.

Do you bring your bench and incline all the way down?

 

[Lee]

no, i stop about an inch off my chest.

 

[Backlash]

Good to hear things are getting back on track for you Lee!

I also bring my military down to about my mouth or chin level - anything else hurts my shoulders. I think bringing down to chest is similar to bnp. Some people can do it without injuring their rotators, and others can't.
