is there any obvious reason not to do those but behind the back

Lmao how the fuck are you suppose to do those behind the back nigga?

Your arms don't work that way

>fuaarrkkk my shoulders

>>42723350
are the shoulder supposed to be in the same position as in bench press while doing these or should they be protracted?

you mean hyperextending them right

you can but youll have very limited rom

I do those full rom, best excercise for shoulders imo

>>42724097
really good exercise for the lower traps, too

Are you serious or trolling? Is there any risk to doing these overhead? Anecdotal but I tried doing them and I was continuously having a minor rotator cuff strain. But I was also doing increasingly heavy OHP, so I am not sure if that was the cause.
