>tfw cant do heavy standing OHP because of scoliosis

Are arnold presses good?

>>40197055
How bad is your scoliosis, and what is considered heavy for it? I have mild scoliosis

still have to get my xray but I was diagnosed during a check up which is weird because I just found out now at 22
I was doing 3x5 but im afraid of a slipped disk

>>40197055
Nah if you have scoliosis you're pretty much fucked since you cant do most compound lifts. Try steroids + isolation moves to get bigger.

>>40197131
yeah Ive cut squats, dl, and bb rows. Pretty much only doing DB presses and isolations now it fucking sucks I just need a good alternative for standing OHP

>>40197166
Picture of severity of your scoliosis?

>>40197175
like I said above I still need an X-ray but it isnt a horrific case that I would need surgery for

Why do you not do both? Everyone I know who lifts does both, including myself.

you can do seated ohp

some gyms have actual seats for this pic related

when you do seated it's a lil easier and you don't need that much help from your core but your shoulders still get gud

>>40197197
Just meant photo of your back to see if it's something that would even be noticeable if you walked by

>>40197226
No it isnt. Dont want to take a photo because I am skele w/ some bacne but Ive gotten compliments on my posture

>>40197214
Yes I do both but I want to adjust which lift should I do more, bench or OHP. I was just giving extreme case what happens if we only do one of the lift.

>>40197219
To add to this anon, you can also do seated dumbbell shoulder presses. Dpn't think you require a barbell on this one.

>>40197032
I do both but prefer OHP to press because it's more challenging to progress on.

why is he pushing down the barbell:S

>>40197089
Whats the weight of your 3x5?
I have 16 degree scolio and in at 40kg 3x5. Should i be worried?

Neither will give good shoulders. Front delt doesn't contribute much to aesthetics. Side delt is not used in ohp

>Aesthetics

Pick one. If you want to look aesthetic you do OHP and Bench.

Why not just do incline? Shoulders and chest.

>Bench with no OHP will get you tits and you wont look big if your shoulders are small
that's why you do a shit ton of lateral raises.

>>40197089
This motherfucker

>>40197306

Deadlifted over 600lbs. I think you're being a pussy.

>>40199839
Fucking wrong. Medial delt prevents the bar from falling forward while the front delt pulls the arm into extension

>>40199974
I always felt that incline bench was too hard on my tendons between my pecs and front delts.
