Max Strength, Min Pain: CoryG’s Guide to Safer Shoulder Pressing

Tired of shoulder pain cramping your workout? Try this Seated Barbell Military Press routine, designed to keep your shoulders safe while boosting your pressing power—no pain, all gain!

BENEFITS

• Less Stress on Shoulders: By maintaining a shorter range of motion from chin to overhead, this method significantly reduces shoulder stress, ideal for those with previous injuries.
• Increased Pressing Strength: Even with reduced range, you can still build crazy strength (this helped CoryG get back to benching 300+ pounds)
• Keep the Deltz Happy: Implementing Banded Arrows between sets not only aids in recovery but also primes the muscles for heavier lifts without the pain.

TIPS 4 SWOLENESS
