I respect the delt shot G, I do.

Nice German! You’re front squat form is enviable. Nice arch, always upright…I wish!
Beauteous form. And there’s something very artistic about that video . . . the colored plates, the cages.
Thanks Maschy and Snap. Yea pretty colorful
Today kb ladder 1-6/6-1
Moved up to 20kg kb.
Same 6 exercises
Used heart rate for recovery on higher rep sets, let it drop to 125.
My form seems to be solid and my technique is getting better. For the curious ones it was explained to me something like this. Form is the basic set up and movement of a lift and technique is what you tweak to make it your own.

Profound. I like it. Helps explain a lot actually. You 'da One.
I approve of the pictures in this log.
Those front squats were lovely.
PG, i thought he had a brilliant yet simple explanation.
Thanks Kimba, looks like your SL Bulgarian squats are getting better?

If you’re accepting video requests, I’d like to submit one for hanging leg raises.
Read your great post about the different presses in Up’s log, and was wondering what your general thoughts/experiences were on behind the neck pressing as it relates to shoulder health/issues?
Thanks G.

PG i guess in a nut shell i have never seen a pbn cause shoulders issue but definitely reveal them if that makes sense? So if someone has a pre existing issue that maybe they didn’t know about the pbn will expose it pretty quickly? If shoulders are healthy the pbn didn’t effect them negatively in any way.

Makes total sense. When my shoulder health was crappy, I couldn’t even put the bar on my back w/o pain (warming up for squats); now I can do it pretty easily.
How does the pbn hit the shoulders differently vs. the regular press from a muscle building (BB) perspective? And is there a “standard” ratio for pbn srength vs. regular press? - i.e. is the pbn usually a certain percentage of regular press, if the shoulder muscles are “balanced”?
Thanks for all the great info G!
Well, personally i feel the pbn more in the lat delt and milt more in the front and i am pretty sure that would be the general consensus? I also feel the milt more in tri at lockout? Percentage wise…good question if you need a number i am going to say a 10-15% difference in strength roughly…but i really think that is a very individual thing…hope that helps.
