Behind-the-Neck Presses
This is a very popular bodybuilding exercise that helps strengthen the shoulders, upper back, and triceps. Even so, it’s one of the least effective exercises for building upper body strength, as it can actually harm your neck and shoulder muscles.
Standing with good posture is very important when it comes to this exercise, so if you have rounded shoulders and upper back, then you might risk injury. “What makes this exercise so useless is that most of us have poor shoulder mobility because of our jobs” Cheng explained.
If you want to try a safer version of this exercise, you might want to try the dumbbell Arnold press. This particular move targets the front and back deltoids, but also the triceps.

I think instead of parties continuously fighting themselves, blaming the other, wasting time on irrelevent issues that mean nothing to the welfare of its citizens. Stop trying to raise retirement age, the underprivileged work hard enough trying to get there. LEAVE YOUR HANDS OUT OF IT, STOP USEING IT FOR YOUR DOWNFALLS.
behind neck press is only a problem if you go to WIDE.!!!!
Hi
Saying that crunches is bad, and that people can build a strong core without doing exercises that target the abs is flat out wrong. Very bad advice. Crunches are one of the most important exercises a person can do. Do most people do them perfectly? No. Still they’re incredibly valuable, because at the end of the day, supporting your core is one of the most important outcomes of any exercise regimen. I like having bigger biceps , but that’s all just for looks!
What is the point of giving alternate exercises if you don’t show what they look like?
