Subject: Got bad shoulders? Try this tweak for pain-free overhead pressing...
There are a number of variations of the shoulder press...barbell, dumbbell, machine, sitting, standing, etc.
One of the things that a lot of these have in common is that when your shoulders are tweaked (i.e. injured, unstable or just "not quite right") many of these pressing variations can cause pain.
Now, in some cases, you actually shouldn't try and push the issue. Overhead pressing simply may not be a good movement pattern for you.
In other cases, you may just need an alternate exercise that doesn't put the shoulder joint in positions that do cause pain...you may be able to press overhead after all!
That's where this exercise comes in...it's an overhead press done on a standing calf raise machine.
